Kennedy Sought to Stop Covid Vaccinations 6 Months After Rollout | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioned the F.D.A. to revoke authorization of the shots at a time when they were in high demand & lifesaving

Shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times.

If only the times we lived in were actually interesting instead of boring, tedious, and deadly.

What this reminds me of is all the fucking weirdoes, scam artists, racists, and conspiracy theorists that came to prominence during Obama's campaign and during his two terms, being put in office as donvict's revenge against smart people that laughed at him. Donvict looked around at things like Failin' Palin and Michele Bachmann and the circus of the teabaggers and thought - "I want people like those people to have power"

Remember Orly Taitz? A podcast I listened to did a "where are they now?" on that clown, and she is still alive. I'm surprised dipshit donvict didn't give her a role in his maladministration. My guess is that she was more or less laughed off the TV at some point and donvict forgot about her, but donvict, who engaged in the exact same birther bullshit, was given a platform, so he bullshitted his way into office on white male anger over the fact that Obama got TWO terms and no, he wasn't a "Kenyan usurper".

America always does the right thing. After it has tried everything else.

He is also missing pieces of his brain ... Just reminding people he claimed to have a brain eating worm.

I hear what you are saying - the reality-based community will do the right thing, most likely (if they are able to - Brainworms may make that difficult).

Unfortunately, herd immunity is a thing. That's why we need a responsible government with sane stewards at the wheel. Having asshats like this in charge will KILL even those that do the right thing when it comes to vaccinations.

RFK Jr is just another old fucking shit bag that wants to be right even if he is wrong and who doesn't care if his ignorance or self-righteousness kills you or anyone else. Your health is not his priority.

His priority seems to be to attack big pharma. The arguments made in his petition are focused on the protection of public health. Although to do this he's using evidence from quack doctors and faulty studies.

There is a minimum required amount of bronzer you're required to apply to be accepted into the MAGA leadership. See also the transformation Ron DeSantis pulled.

Colloidal silver... It does things to you.

More of a creepy magenta.

[read in the tone of a comic book]. Once upon a time, RFK jr was a normal government bootlicker. Then one day he was bitten by a radioactive donald and became SUPER SPREADER!!! A masked hero fighing against common sense medicine and validatable science.

Does remind me of the Republican blonde stereotype

I'll take mine on the rocks. lol.

What was RFK’s end game?

What do you think goes on in the mind of someone with a dead brain worm?

Sometimes, the simplest answer is the most plausible answer.

I don't think he has one. He's one of those people convinced of their rightness and will see it through no matter the suffering it causes, no matter the demonstrable harm he has already done. In a sane world this kook bastard would be laughed at and ignored, minimizing his ability to harm anyone. Or better yet charged with culpable homicide. Instead he'll put in a position that allow him to harm EVERYONE.

As far as endgame, he presumably is a true believer.

As to letting "science take the wheel", given the stakes it makes sense but the largest medical experiment in history is a frightening concept.

Particularly for folks that lived when they DDTed the hell out of everything, or when doctors would lobotomize or electroshock people for mildly inconveniencing their family, or eugenics programs that went and sterilized "undesirables". Some skepticism of "science" can be expected.

The thing is these people bake in their mindset when they are relatively young and do not adjust to account for improvements or for the dire contexts.

Because of Kamala's stance on the Palestinian genocide and that she was picked without a primary election.

Maybe if the Dems stop trying to compete in the shithead contest they won't keep losing.

No he does not look delicious, okay?!

I was just discussing this with a conservative relative. It’s meet in the middle in dead agreement territory.

A lot if the tariffed Chinesium is going to be PC parts. Think of your mouse. I paid $10 for my ergonomic mouse with extra buttons. I had to replace it last year and it was $15. The guesstimates have prices doubled. Who wants to pay $30 for an $10 mouse? Those increases add up in trying to keep your entertainment source alive. My point is people already can’t buy groceries.

They’re working very hard to shut down streaming sites like fmovies. Everything has subscription fee now, even single news articles. Again, people can’t afford to buy groceries.

The last time people were bored with nothing left to do we had riots. In the name of a cause that deserved justice, yes, but the not having anything else to do part contributed a lot to the number of people outside, and stealing diapers.

They’re creating an environment that will prime people for pushing back by simply taking away free and cheap entertainment.

Pushing further on the rest (groceries, healthcare, workers rights) is just an ignition switch. We all feel it. That’s the sense of impending doom thats been lurking all year.

Healthcare upheaval would be a societal nuke at this point.

And yet that’s where Trump wants to go. And that’s where my conservative relative and I split. Oh no, T is going to solve the problems. Seriously. That was said.

So politically, we agree an ignition point is approaching. We don’t agree on whether Trump will ignite it or diffuse it.

Interesting times suck.

The level of propaganda in this country - not only in "legacy" media, but the algorithms on "social" media - is so fine-tuned that they could probably get most people that went through that kind of tragedy to still want to put Fauci in prison and/or kill him.

If WE get another pandemic, comrade!

I voted against this bullshit. Ugh.

14 years of heavy heroin addiction leaves a toll. Kudos for him for getting clean, but also its reasonable to think that massive iv drug use at a young age causes developmental deficits.

Chevron could actually save us here since courts, not agencies can ultimately decide policy. This could be their entire strategy to "prove" that they were right.

depression, anxiety, ADHD, and many disorders are effectively treated by just letting people exist while doing basic labor

What the F…

And you got your PhD where? How many years of study did it take you to figure out this sweeping solution for all these conditions?

You haven’t a clue making your little gulag for “special” people.

Sorry mate, a place where mental health patients to just exist sounds to me like a terrible idea.

Notionally, not having to worry about anything and just do some basic chores might sound therapeutic, but I can assure you that residing in such a place would be a harrowing experience.

Then I get to the fifth thing, and I realize “holy shit, this guy is just actually insane”. It recontextualises the first 4, because if you get rid of highly processed food by killing the FDA people are just going to get straight up poisoned. And the mental health retreat turns into a work camp if it’s no longer completely voluntary

I think he still wants raw milk to be a thing, for fuck's sake. I don't know if he's moved on that at all, given seeing headlines like "guy gives his cats raw milk and kills them with bird flu" type of thing. Maybe even Brainworms is not THAT tone deaf, but who the hell knows.
