I’m not so sure it’s that simple. Having this total fraud and complete quack at the head of HHS does what kind of damage to research and development of vaccines that may be in the pipeline? And not just the funding and the approvals, but how much brain drain have we suffered already?
It’s probably really hard to gauge just how much long-lasting damage someone with no qualifications for the job and who is indeed ideologically opposed to science in such a prominent role has already done and will do to America.
I think it’s going to be far more damage than him encouraging parents to kill their own kids.
The guy believes in the miasma theory of disease, FFS. Next time the Republicons are in office, they could put up someone just as bad or even worse, and they have a precedent for this complete insanity.
The irony of parents opting out is that except for a few people within anabaptist religions (Amish, Mennonites, Hutterites), it’s highly probable the parents are beneficiaries of vaccines, but would deny their own children the same thing.
It’s all so fucking insane. We have to get better as a species of really being able to pass down wisdom and knowledge to our offspring. Of course, the rather primitive tools we did have are being actively broken by the right, so even that may wither away and only get worse.
It’s not going to change the AMAs guidelines or stop people from seeking vaccines on schedule, like most sane and concerned parents would do.
It’ll just be natural selection for the awful idiots who go along with this. Tragically, their children will be the ones taken out of the gene pool.
The bitter irony of this administration hurting the blind cultists they promised to help the most.

Unfortunately, the plague bearers are also plague spreaders.
