Pocan asked Kennedy, “If you had a child today, would you vaccinate that child for measles?”
“Probably for measles,” Kennedy said, before backpedaling. “What I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant.”
“I don’t want to seem like I am being evasive but I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me,”
Well you see, the only qualification anyone cares about is if everyone likes you. And unfortunately a good way to alienate Americans is to be correct about things.
