RFK Junior can ban vaccines by saying they are unsafe

And when he was taken to court if he got a Maga court or the Supreme Court guess what they will do, but what he will probably do very soon is make it so insurance companies don’t have to pay for vaccines and then most of us won’t be able to afford them so it won’t even matter.

Combine this with ending vaccine research, and millions of us are going to die. 😡




What RFK Jr. Cannot Do
• Unilaterally ban vaccines or drugs
He does not have the legal authority to outright ban vaccines or medications. That would require congressional legislation or a LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE ACTION by the FDA based on safety concerns.


LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE ACTION. Would it be legally defensible normally? Of course not, but we now have maga courts including the Supreme Court, if people don’t start reacting to this in a very extreme manner right now fuck God help us

Can't we just ban him? Nothing of value would be lost there. Initech Aug 2025 #1

And then there will be no debate about whether or not there is a scenario where this piece of shit can ban access to a vaccine, it’s right there in black-and-white.

There is no way to misunderstand it, I am not going to repeat it, I pointed it out to make it clear why this is a MAJOR concern.
