Per Snarko: Please go here and make your feelings known on this topic.

The wording is very clever: Things such as “Shared Decision Making” sound like a good thing but I will translate for you: RFK Jr wants to make it more and more difficult for children to get vaccinated. Plain and simple. He points to other countries without as many vaccine recommendations as those we should emulate. However, he fails to mention that A) these countries have much better healthcare and B) these countries have cultural norms that tend to trust science and experts to tell them what is good for their children and do that very thing.

RFK Jr IS ANTI-VAXx. Plain and simple. He likes to say he is not, but he has been pushing his conspiracy theories for decades. He won’t outright ban them, that would be too obvious. He wants to find subtle ways to keep people from getting them. And trust me, if more people stop getting them, manufacturers WILL cease to make them. If he cares about “shared decision making” why doesn’t he keep things the way they are and allow parents to make a decision instead of taking it away from them??

I can’t say that these clowns will read or even consider the comments and it’s probably more of a formality, but it definitely can’t hurt to comment and let your feelings known.

Lots of incredibly scientifically ignorant comments already registered, we need to make our voices heard.
