    It’s entirely unsurprising, considering people voted for a person who said they were going to put an antivaxer in charge of stopping communicable disease.

        To be completely fair, rising rates of measles prior to 2024 or even 2016 and the general increase in antivaxer sentiment for decades has nothing to do with rfks death by measles being a win for society.
