The elites of the anti-vaccine, “medical freedom” world saw the presidential election unfold at a hotel watch party in West Palm Beach, with a giddy, rising sense of what was unfolding.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s most famous anti-vaccine activist turned presidential candidate turned Trump booster, turned up at the event before heading to Mar a Lago; at the hotel, he sat alongside Del Bigtree, his campaign’s communications manager and the founder of Informed Consent Action Network, another major anti-vax group.

  1. Well they bullshitted the world about the covid vaccine so who knows what else? Pretty sweet deal Big Pharma got cut for themselves, cannot possibly be sued and information regarding it's development can't be released for 75 years.

    And Kennedy also has the health of kids in mind when it comes to the regulation of sugar in food so it will be interesting to see what comes of it.
