The RFK Jr. Thread

It's gonna be either 1. A vaccine RFK Jr doesn't like 2. Wokeness 3. Fluoride

It's certainly not going to be honest.

I say lets see if RFK jr. actually does a good job and then start bitching about what he is trying to do. Its too early to complain about him yet.

How about now, genius?

I wonder how much resurgence in debilitating childhood diseases it will take before the Trumpistas start to realize that the Teaparty is about making America Great for the rich folks and fuck the rest of us?

“Not Just Measles”: Whooping Cough Cases Are Soaring as Vaccine Rates Decline

While much of the country is focused on the spiraling measles outbreak, experts warn that whooping cough and other preventable diseases could get much worse with falling vaccination rates and Trump’s slashing of public health infrastructure.

Why is it that teapartying legislators and appointees think that it's a crucial freedom to choose, concerning vaccination, but reproductive health care and trans must be done by the government "to protect the children"?
WTF?

. I know in this day and age though that the line between reality and satire is getting fainter and fainter.

Yep. We have a President who says he wants to be known as "the Fertilization President"... and those present apparently didn't power-puke on the spot.

I'd want Melania's input first.

The ironic part would be the mere thought of that guy naked would be enough to prevent pregnancies.

This is the kind of stuff Republicans are hearing, not things like why we need HHS.

Yes. We clearly allow kids to make the choice to do certain things, and we allow some things to happen to children, so why wouldn't we allow children to have a choice of which of those things?

Personally, I think kids deserve to have the right to delay puberty until some condition of time or resolve has been met.

But that's the thing, though. This is about giving parents unlimited rights to abuse their children however they please. It is about treating "men" like the owners of their families, legally.

Philosophically it is to defend the worldview and abuse cycles which produce those kinds of folks. It is existential for them, as much as the progressive seeks to break abuse cycles.

It is about making citizens property owned by the government, legally.

I have said this again and again and again after dismantling the junky arguments used to smokescreen around these issues.

Now, they are empowering the same fraction of insane assholes the Nazis tapped for their science program.

Hopefully Temu Gilead is short lived.

RFK Jr.: 'I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me'

Rep. Mark Pocan asked Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about a divisive issue. His response? Americans should not take medical advice from him.

www.mycentraljersey.com

The Liar Paradox? If you take his advice that you should not take his medical advice and it is about medical things, so technically it is medical advice.... so you are taking his medical advice not to take his medical advice but then that means you are not taking his advice but you are...and so on.

FDA approves Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, but with unusual restrictions on its use

In its Friday approval letter, the FDA didn’t explain the restrictions although they reflect skepticism about vaccines from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other Trump officials.

www.pbs.org

The Food and Drug Administration has issued a long-awaited approval of Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine but with unusual restrictions.

Novavax makes the nation’s only traditional protein-based coronavirus vaccine – and until now it had emergency authorization from FDA for use in anyone 12 and older.

But late Friday, the FDA granted the company full approval for its vaccine for use only in adults 65 and older – or those 12 to 64 who have at least one health problem that puts them at increased risk from COVID-19.

‘I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’

Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.

www.theatlantic.com

Over coffee at a Starbucks just outside Austin, Texas, Del Bigtree told me he wants his teenage son to catch polio. Measles, too. He’s considered driving his unvaccinated family to South Carolina, which is in the midst of a historic outbreak, so that they can all be exposed. He prefers pertussis—whooping cough—to the pertussis vaccine, which he later described to me as a “crime against children.” It’s not the diseases that Americans should be afraid of, Bigtree insists: It’s the shots that stop them.

See, these are exactly the sort of people who I was talking about using some manner of force against based on their disagreement with reality.

Some people do not deserve children, particularly those who expose them to crippling and debilitating diseases with lifelong consequences because they fear modern science.
