BREAKING: Congresswoman Kim Schrier obliterates quack MAGA Health Secretary RFK Jr. during a viral public hearing by using her experience as a pediatrician to expose his staggering ignorance on vaccines.

This was an absolute masterclass in destroying Republican crackpots...

"Secretary Kennedy on May 27th you posted a 60 second video on your X account unilaterally changing vaccine recommendations without consulting the customary panel of experts," said Schrier. "As a pediatrician I find that extremely alarming so I thought we would talk a little about some vaccine-preventable diseases."

Kennedy is a well-known anti-vaxxer and regularly pushes anti-science beliefs to the American people. He was appearing before the House health subcommittee to testify on the administration's budget request which includes brutal funding cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services.

"Secretary Kennedy — and these are yes or no questions — have you ever treated measles?" Schrier asked him.

"Do I what?" asked RFK.

"Have you ever treated measles?"

"No," he admitted.

"Well, I have. Let me tell you how miserable it is. These kids have high fevers, struggling to breathe, and they are crying," said Schrier. "They suffer. Great news is that there is a vaccine to prevent it. Secretary Kennedy, again a yes or no question, have you ever treated bacterial meningitis?"

"No," he admitted again.

"Well, I have," said Schrier. "These babies are so sick. They come into the ER with high fevers. They are floppy and we have to figure out why. Do you know how we figure out if a baby has meningitis?"

"Excuse me?" said RFK Jr.

"Do you know how we figure out if a baby has spinal meningitis?" asked Schrier.

"How many babies?" he replied, seemingly mishearing the question.

"I'm going to explain how we figure out and determine if a baby has meningitis," said Schrier.

"Okay."

"We insert a needle between vertebrae until the fluid that surrounds the spinal cord drips out into a test tube. It's called a spinal tap," explained Schrier. "We used to do lots of them. Fortunately, we don't have to do very many of these any more because we have three vaccines that prevent childhood meningitis. These are miracles."

"Secretary Kennedy, yes or no, have you ever treated pertussis or whooping cough?" she asked.

"No. I've had it," said Kennedy.

"Well, I have and in infants, in fact the one I treated, weeks old, came in because the baby just stopped breathing and turned blue," said Schrier. "Let me tell you how scared those parents were. And I've treated a bunch of older kids with it. They cough so hard they vomit. They run out of air. They break ribs. And if you don't catch it before two weeks, antibiotics don't even work."

"They cough for months with broken ribs and that is why it is called a hundred day cough," she continued. "But you know what's great? There's a vaccine that prevents this. Of course, here's the thing, vaccines only work if you actually give them. And we know your record on this."

Kennedy couldn't argue because there is no argument to be made. His beliefs and those like him have caused once-dormant diseases like measles to spread like wildfire across the country. People are dying. This man is woefully unqualified for his position and if he had even an ounce of shame left he would resign immediately.

Please retweet and to thank Congresswoman Schrier for crushing RFK Jr!

Y’all wanted more metrics comparing whether Canada or the U.S. is better…

Well, this is embarrassing.

Marjorie Taylor Greene tries to push Russian propaganda about Ukrainian nazis, and is completely shut down by Holocaust Historian and the Leading Scholar on Ukrainian Nationalism in America, Dr. Snyder.

Yes, booing the U.S. national anthem is disrespectful to Americans—but you know what’s worse? The U.S. president repeatedly and publicly telling the world that Canada has no right to exist and should be part of the U.S.🇺🇸🇨🇦
