RFK Jr. Assclown Jambaroo: Anti-Vaxxer Bullshit, A New Panel Of Misfits, EMFs, & Chemtrails, Oh My!

Well, as we previously discussed was going to occur, RFK Jr. gave his keynote speech and appearance at the Children's Health Defense conference of anti-vaxxer conspiracy-mongers, and he was certainly firmly on brand. In fact, he did so much to make news during and around this appearance that we're going to have to break this...

As Pennsylvania continues to endure the worst of the current measles outbreaks ravaging the country, a fourth measles-associated death has now been confirmed. As of the time of this writing, the CDC's public website tracking case counts and deaths has still not acknowledged a single one of these fatalities, reportedly at the direction of RFK...

Adult Woman Dies From Measles Complications In Pennsylvania

Despite RFK Jr.'s assurances that he's absolutely killing it combating this pesky measles thing that resurfaced after decades under his leadership, the only thing that is being killed are American citizens who contract measles. While we first eclipsed the measles case count of 2025 in mid-summer of 2026, there has also been no slowdown of...

1 Of 2 Children Dead In PA Confirmed To Be From Measles

I want to start this whole thing off with a disclaimer. Nothing in this post should be misconstrued as gloating, as being pleased, or as having a connotation that is anything beyond sadness and the need for change. Nobody is happy to have the obvious confirmed when it comes to a child's death. There is...

Reporting Indicates RFK Jr. Directly Intervened To Keep PA Deaths Off CDC Measles Report

The measles outbreak, that began in America nearly two years ago, has only increased in velocity. We recently talked about the deaths of two children in Pennsylvania who both died while infected with measles. I'm altering my language slightly here from that original post in which I described those children as having died of measles...

Senators Call For RFK Jr.’s Resignation After More Emails Suggest He Lied In His Confirmation Hearings

There are plenty of reasons to call for RFK Jr. to resign or be fired. There are plenty of reasons to call for him to be investigated. There's his complete dereliction of duty when it comes to the American measles outbreak. There's his sneaky misrepresentations carried out as he moonlights on a government-funded cooking show...

RFK Jr. Goes Full Anti-Vaxxer Conspiracy Theorist Over 2 PA Measles Deaths

When we just discussed the two recent deaths in Pennsylvania that came as a result of measles infections, we noted that there was very little information about the deceased. Some additional information has since been released, in particular the fact that one of those that died was a newborn child. This is the sort of...

Two Die In Pennsylvania Of Measles Marking The First Deaths Of 2026

Last year, as decades of work by RFK Jr. to undermine vaccines with false links to deaths and autism culminated in his appointment to lead HHS, America saw the largest resurgence of measles cases in something like three decades. Three people died, including two children, all unvaccinated. Kennedy mostly ignored the outbreak from the beginning...

Even As Disease Outbreaks Abound, American Vaccination Rates In Children Fall

The past 18 months have seen a significant number of health issues, perhaps crises, arise in America. Measles, cyclosporiasis, whooping cough, and more have all been in the news. RFK Jr. is either stroking his pet conspiracy theories alongside Trump, or else he's completely out to lunch. In the meantime, Kennedy is also continuing to...

Doctors, Medical Associations Already Giving A Giant Middle Finger To Trump’s Vaccine EO

As expected, this didn't take very long. Earlier this week we pointed out that Donald Trump supplanted RFK Jr. as the world's most infamous anti-vaxxer when he vomited out a bonkers executive order that reduced the recommended childhood vaccination schedule for American children, pared down which diseases were recommended for vaccination, and demanded that the...

RFK Jr. Just Embarrassed Himself Publicly On CNN

This post is going to come with something of a warning label. RFK Jr. went on CNN this past weekend for an interview with Dana Bash. I'm going to post the entirety of that interview immediately below. Before you watch it, get yourself a bib, or some paper towels, or wrap yourself in one of...

U.S. Measles Cases Eclipse 2025’s Record Case Count

The American healthcare system and the portion of the government in charge of our health have been a failure of record proportions for the second consecutive year. In 2025, America set a record for collecting the most confirmed cases of measles since 1991, with 2,289 confirmed cases. This year, America already blew past last years...
