GOP senator shows he’s an absolute dumbass about vaccines

Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma appeared on CNN on Thursday to do the dirty work to defend the Trump administration anti-vaccination agenda– In particular, its thrust to relaunch the long-debilita claim connecting autism vaccines. The appearance of Mullin intervened a few hours after the Secretary of Health and Social Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. embarrassed the administration During a hearing of the Senate committee.

“But why are you looking at vaccines?” Host Kasie Hunt asked.

“I’m not,” said Mullin. “I say why won’t look at him?” What has changed? What we do is -“

“–We to have I watched it, and it was studied, “said Hunt.” Studies have shown that there was no link between the ROR vaccine and autism. “

But that did not prevent Mullin from acting as a vaccinology expert.

“Well, there are different, there are different from – there are different ingredients from only one or two things inside vaccinations,” Mullin blamed. “There are several things that go to each vaccine and look at how many blows we give to our children,” he replied Lamely.

Mullin, whose only expertise is in Be an idioteither does not understand or voluntarily ignore the myriad of studies Made on measles, mumps and rubella vaccines in the past two decades. These studies, covering hundreds of millions of vaccinated individuals, have always shown no evidence of a link between the ROR vaccine and autism, regardless of the number of shots or the “different ingredients” that Mullin is vaguely puts.
