      I guess you’ve never heard of Donald Trump and RFK, Jr.

        Donald Trump ran operation warp speed, and I frankly hadn’t been following rfk at all

          I already covered this in a reply that was done four hours before yours, so I don’t know why you didn’t see it. Trump was an antivaxxer before Operation Warp Speed and he has become one again.

          I know this might be hard to believe, but Trump is a hypocrite.

          As for RFK, Jr. He literally made a name for himself by supporting the “vaccines cause autism” lie.

              I’m not sure how who you are going to vote for is relevant to what I was saying. This isn’t about you.
