    This Week in Virology has been shocked aghast and brutal about how mind-numbingly stupid RFKJr is and surrounds himself with the same. They talk about Thimerosal what what insane policy is going down here:

      As someone sufficiently allergic to thiomersal and someone getting the shot regularly for a long time, all I have to add is you just talk to your health professional. They are competent and choose the right Vaccine for you.

      Never met someone in the field who acts as stupid as RFKjr, I so sorry for the U.s.-ian people.
