Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, has a history of extreme rhetoric and conspiracy theories about vaccines.
In previously unreported comments at autism conferences, Kennedy likened vaccination programs to Catholic Church abuse scandals and Nazi death camps and argued for jailing vaccine scientists.
He has falsely claimed vaccines cause autism and accused public health agencies like the CDC of corruption and hiding vaccine dangers.
Critics fear his leadership could dismantle vaccine safety efforts, decrease public trust, and disrupt public health policy.
Fuck the vaccines cause autism argument. Like even if it were true. I'm autistic. You're telling me you'd rather your child die than be like me? Speaks volumes to how much hate you have both for people like me and your own child.
His cabinet is very much going to be operating on a vibes basis, and his base will judge him in a similar basis as well. There's no rational thought going on.
Wait, so Christians voted not only for a president who clearly isn't Christian, but also a man from a Catholic family who disowned the church and speaks against them? Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine with everyone bashing the Catholic Church until they find ways to root out all the evil within, but how did Christians vote for him when they were claiming Trump (the man who stands against all of Jesus's teachings) was the Christian choice.
Maybe I'm wrong and he didn't abandon the Catholic Church though, just calls them evil while joining them for mass? Idk
Decades of propaganda have convinced Christians that Republican=Christian, and the last decade of propaganda have convinced them that Trump is a good Christian man anointed by God and all the bad stuff they might hear about him is just Democrat lies. Many, if not most, honestly don't know the half of Trump's evils, let alone believe them.
The CDC has been involved in genetically sequencing strains of the virus and working on vaccine development, in exactly the kind of preparedness we need for a very deadly virus that could go pandemic at any time. RFK has promised to end vaccination programs and force vaccines off the market, and he's about to be put in charge of the CDC. The whole world will be worse prepared for a bird flu pandemic thanks to his wacky antivax views, and many, many people will die in the USA and elsewhere as a result. This is a virus that by some measures has a fatality rate of 51%, whereas COVID was probably somewhere between 1% and 2%.
Don't know much about it, can is spread to mosquitoes? (I'm still in the unknowing bubble assuming it is transferred via blood). If you tell me it can be airborne I wouldn't have known. (Insert bird pun here)
Can you imagine what it'd be like if mandatory childhood vaccines are eliminated? Can you imagine what a resurgence of measles or even polio would be like?!
No, you probably can't, because vaccines made them non-issues before most of us were even born. And now they might come back because some dullard thinks he knows better than actual doctors and scientists. Dunning and Kruger must be crying themselves to sleep these days.
He will probably try to roll back washing hands and quarantine. Then XDR TB will roll up and kill waaaay more than most other things. But, to be fair, some of the other things will kill more quickly.
Considering he decided to take his kids with him when he went to saw that whale's head off and they had to ride back in the car with the whale's head on top wearing tarps but still getting covered in "whale juice," and his daughter just told that story casually in an interview a few years ago, I'm guessing he's got quite a bit of experience in abusing children.
Maybe not the way the Catholic Church does, but...
I just imagine a worm that caved out a little den with a bunch of tunnels running throughout the brain. Wormo got a couch and two sticks with a big red button in between that he's using to control RFK. When he pushes the button it sends a shock through RFKs brain and he says something, like a tick. Every now and then something in another room fucks up so Wormo has to leave the sticks and jiggle-wiggle over to fix the issue and leave RFK unattended.
When I was a kid, my grandma would send me to a nearby farm to get raw milk. It was then brought to a boil at home, the top skimmed, for making pastries, and then consumed. It was way better tasting than store bought, but it was boiled.
I grew up with boiled raw milk too. But there is no control over who does what with it or whether if they boil it enough (some people won't boil too much because boiling kills the taste and benefits according to them). Between people sticking up other people's poo up their buttholes and live H5 virus detected in raw milk (180 out of 275 positive for fragments, 39 positive for live), I dont think it is a good time to promote raw milk.
Because we've been told for eons that to be rich you have to be smart.
Most of the time we don't know all these fucking dumb rich people inherited their money instead of earning it themselves so we assume they're smart too.
Hey we'd all be rich too if mommy and daddy gave us seed money and the expertise of their business advisors for free.
Hell, I'm still confused why anyone gives a shit about the Kennedys. They are so stupid they bought into lobotomy despite everything saying how dumb it was to do.
Rich people are dumber than middle class and poor people.
I'm always curious how people with opposing views on serious topics stay married. I guess if he's just some kooky anti vaxxer on his own it doesn't affect much, but if he starts doing serious damage by being the guy in charge, I wonder if it'll force Cheryl Hines to confront some issues about him.
So, I've got a theory. I think the rich and powerful know that we are fucking the earth beyond repair. I think they know that the only way forward is to cull a huge portion of the human race.
If you think about it. Automation has come to a point that 100,000 people could potentially run a high tech society with little effort and maintenance.
Plus, a significant number of that 100,000 would just spend all their time traveling from factory to factory frantically repairing and maintaining all of that automated equipment. Sounds like hell.
