He doesn't even believe in germ theory of disease. It's hard to think of a less qualified person to be secretary of health.

He was hired to take revenge on the medical industry because Covid embarrassed Trump and probably caused him to lose the election.

I was so worried that covid would be the ultimate excuse for him to rally people over his failing policies and crashing economy (we were heading to depression / crash before covid!) Then he fucked up the easiest handout of public good and caused millions to needlessly die.

Well you see he thought people in "blue cities" would be the ones to die and was 100% ok with that.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Yup. He was hired to take orders, not do good.

[-] Tower@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

Which is crazy because for any sane president, covid amounted to serving up the election on a silver platter.

"Follow the guidance of the scientists and we'll all get through this together." would have gotten him north of 65% of the total votes, and probably near the Reagan/Mondale level of electoral college victory.

Yep, early on Trump said he was like a war time president because of covid. If he had kept that mentality and rallied to fight covid, he would have easily won that election.

He has also said that the cause of AIDS is poppers, not HIV:

Good fucking luck Americans.

So prove us wrong RFK, and take an injection of HIV.

[-] bilb@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah, he can do that, and I'll take poppers. The first one to contract AIDS will get $500,000 from Mr. Beast!

In the early HIV days, despite the identification of the virus, a clown at NIH destroyed his entire lab and reputation insisting HIV1 was not the cause, for years. I forgot his name because it should be forgotten.

He can believe or not believe however the fuck much he wants. I still don't know why "belief" is used so interchangeably with understanding, by basically everyone. When this angonizing hemorrhoid says "I don't believe in germ theory" what he really is saying is "I don't understand germ theory". Germs are there whether he believes or not.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago

Wait if he doesn't believe in germ theory, what the other fuck theory is there to believe in? Don't tell me he's a bloody miasmatist?

he is a miasmatist…

bad choice with Trump...

[-] munsking@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

well he's clearly dead inside

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

That reminds me of Terrance Howard Math! The basics are so completely wrong that anything after it is already wrong.
