Rightwing attitudes toward science

[stpioc]

More anti-science nonsense:

• The president courts known anti-vaccine crackpots like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and makes the same kinds of pseudoscience claims about lifesaving immunizations that they do.
  
• RFK Jr. has seized on the attention, holding a press conference in February — with another anti-vaccine sympathizer Robert De Niro — to promote his well debunked theories about vaccine safety.
  
• There was even an anti-vaccine march on Washington.
  
• Meanwhile, vaccine skeptics have been persuading more parents in a number of states to refuse shots for their children.
  
• A July 24 study in JAMA Pediatrics shows that even a 5 percent reduction in vaccine coverage could spark a large measles outbreak.
