YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior's anti-vaccine agenda is directly impacting immunocompromised people. Colleen Thomas, the mother of a child with an immunodeficiency, joined The Weekend: Primetime to talk about how Kennedy's policies put people like her son at risk, Florida's move to end vaccine mandates, and her message to parents who are hesitant about vaccines. "Vaccination is a form of kindness," says Thomas. "When you vaccinate yourself, when you vaccinate your kids, you are making sure that you are protecting the most vulnerable in our society."
