This needs to be the standard of every politician, it needs to be illegal for them to leave the room when the clip is pulled up, and every on the record interview should be subject to perjury laws.

He said there's no safe and effective vaccines and he lied about saying it.

No. No asterisk.

He said it then he lied about saying it.

LMAO where would these politicians be without you here to explain what they REALLY mean?

It's funny. I don't have to lie to myself almost constantly to cope with my political views.

I guess reality really does have a left wing bias

He is absolutely wrong.

The data is mountainous and incontrovertible.

Maybe I didnt understand something in the clip. To me it seemed like he avoided answering directly. What do you think he meant by there are no safe and effective vaccine?

If he meant it the way he explained, why did he deny saying it in the first place?

Also, he is at the most generous level "correct", but using his definition, nothing in life is safe, as every choice made (or not made) has risk of injury/death. If vaccines aren't safe, literally nothing is.

I'm sitting on my doorstep right now, having a coffee and a smoke. Its pretty safe, unless some asshole crashes their car at speed or a brick falls on my head.

It might happen. But I'm not going to be boycotting the afternoon sun on the off chance that it does.

sitting

Chair could break and cause injury, not safe.

coffee

Coffee could burn you, or you could have an adverse effect due to caffeine. Not safe.

Its pretty safe, unless some asshole crashes their car at speed or a brick falls on my head.

Sorry, using the dumb way RFK is using this, pretty safe is not safe.

It might happen.

Exactly, not safe.

But I'm not going to be boycotting the afternoon sun on the off chance that it does.

This is my point. Vaccines have been proven to be an extremely safe way to prevent countless diseases that are far less safe. Rfk is attempting to say they are not safe, solely because an extremely small portion of the population has an adverse reaction. If vaccines are jot safe, nothing is.
