Summary
Donald Trump plans to discuss potentially ending childhood vaccination programs with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee for Health and Human Services.
Trump expressed openness to revisiting vaccine policies, citing concerns about autism rates, despite scientific consensus debunking links between vaccines and autism.
Critics warn reducing vaccinations could lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.
Kennedy, known for questioning vaccine safety, would oversee the CDC if confirmed.
Public health experts remain concerned about the implications.
Nobody said “most Germans”. They said “all”, which is not only untrue, it’s a malignment of those who did resist and serves to discourage future resistance, which is entirely unhelpful. If that’s truely where the US is headed, the last thing people need to hear is, “Everyone will think you’re a piece of shit no matter what you do.”
Thinking in absolutes is a childish thing to begin with, it has nothing to do with maligning the people who resisted.
Of course there will be varying accounts for those involved, but as a whole, Americans shoulder the responsibility of their country just the same as Germans shouldered theirs. I wouldnt hold it against someone who felt involved or responsible, and deciding at some point to rebel.
But that doesnt mean they still weren’t part of something awful for some period of time. Just like Americans are part of something awful right now, and for quite a long time.
I’m not the one “thinking in absolutes”. The user you’re defending literally said it doesn’t matter what American’s do - everyone will be considered the same.
Actual quote from them. But I’m the one you’re calling a child. Buzz off.
I said anyone talking in absolutes is a child. I get that you didnt do that, and so wasnt calling you a child.
The point I’m making is, they are right that all Americans share a part in what the country does to people around the world, even if they oppose it. Its not a bad thing to be against something you are or were apart of though.
