Mehdi’s deep dive looks at the deadly cost of the anti-vaccine movement Kennedy has boosted.

So.
Yesterday, @ABC tweeted a headline that declared that Moms for Liberty were “fighting back.”
MANY people asked:fighting against what? It was an example of both sides-ism and normalization par excellence.
After lots of people objected, they removed it.
NEVER forget that your voice matters. And that the voice of the people can have real power.
