Unfortunately Jenny McCarthy will be proved right…it will require the return of diseases like polio to convince parents to vaccinate. All we can do is hope people come to their senses sooner than later.

I hope someone challenges this in court. Because I doubt the NIH's reasoning would withstand the arbitrary and capricious standard for grants already awarded. They essentially gave no reason, and did not at all address the reliance interests at question.

Regarding RFK Jr specifically I think you are incorrect. According to Google Trends he was a non-entity until 2023, long after the covid vax stuff happened.

He has, but this article is about influencers and he was very much unknown until 2023. Well, if you believe Google trends as a yardstick for influence.

Compare to Alex Jones, known for saying shocking things and influencing people. His chart is far more wild and supportive of him having a lot of influence.
