I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

@NZStuff my grandfather definitely loved the people of New Zealand and I can say categorically he would not campaign for this today or any other day in the past. 'If Nelson Mandela was alive today, he would be campaigning for ACT', leader says https://t.co/AchNJiCqyo
