Let's not use the word "controversial" when "nobody with any qualifications would ever fucking agree with this" is more accurate. Controversial suggests a lack of consensus.
I think just saying dumb shit to cause drama and distract from other shit they're doing
I am reminded of the quote "some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make".
The Secretary of HEALTH recommends letting a pandemic spread. Think about that for a second.
Who would have known. The russian mafia puppet government that's doing it's best impression of the New world order stereotype.. is suggesting a population cull
stand with rfk. americans voted trump twice into office and shows now sign of stopping their brain rott. bird flu is best that can happen. last time the facist leader was in office we had corona globally - lets just hope for a very localised (to the USA) bird flu outbreak to help the imbeciles remember 2020.
BND: There's a high probability that the last pandemic was caused by negligence in China.
US: Last Pandemic? Wait, hold my pisswater.
You go first Mr RFK Jr
I remember when people laughed at the concept of the immune system being like a muscle, that needs frequent excercise, and with same excercise it could be built back.
Good times.
Nowadays I wonder when will people shoot each other with increasingly higher caliber bullets to build up immunity to bullets.
I eat one credit card a day to build immunity to capitalism
Guess we'll have to force anyone returning from the US to stay in quarantine.
If bird flu is such a minor issue, I say we inject it into Donald Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk. Demonstrate how safe it is. Do it. Come on. DO IT YOU WUSSES.
why inject, since you can spread bird flu by coughing in the same room as them. Trump also is a well known germaphobe too, considered trump and his dad both bullied thier brother into suicide and alcoholism.
I’m pretty sure bird flu currently cannot be spread person-to-person and that’s why it’s only a notable concern rather than a pandemic 2.0 level threat
Yes. Tell them we need their ubermensch genetics to base a cure on. Tell them they'll be rich for it.
Interestingly, my understanding of the way in which flu vaccine was (in part) produced involved injecting blood infected with a the flu into developing chicken embryos (eggs), allowing them to develop the flu, and several probably very complicated steps later, you've got flu virus particles for a vaccine.
Any ways...
What a fucking disgrace he is to the Kennedy legacy. I hope he gets swallowed by a whale or gets eaten by a bear or a worm eating his brain.
his own family more or less disowned a while ago, and also hes not all there because the way he speaks is like someone got a stroke, he was a known heroin addict.
He can go first. Go ahead Bobby, show us how easy it is.
I don't think he knows about second pandemic, Pip.
Hahahahahaha jesus tapdancing christ this timeline is fucking wild. He is going to create the conditions for the next pandemic. It’s gonna start here. I’m calling it now.
I baught a shit ton of N95's a month ago... I figured this was going to happen
I would totally bet on this prediction happening. Easy winnings.
new pandemic is already started, look at current measles
Still epidemic, and I'm pretty sure it won't become pandemic because developed countries and developing countries (where do I even place the USA now) trust in vaccinations
eh, pandemic, epidemic, what's the difference?
I know there's actually a difference and the difference does matter, but I don't know what the difference is and I use the two words interchangeably. My point was that shit's fucked.
Epidemic is restricted to an area
We're going to have at least two pandemics at the same time, and the USA will have no government left to deal with it, just a few kooks and Nazis with their theories of eugenics, random vitamins, bleach, horse dewormers and survival of the most racially superior.
enough people are still immune, i suspect chickenpox will make a big comeback, since the vaccine also doesnt entirely protect against it either, there have been people getting shingles while vaccinated later in life, so they got reinfected at some point. chickenpox is also pretty severe in adults, in men it can cause orchitis.
“The way we raise birds now, there’s not a lot of genetic variability,” Hansen said. “They’re all the same bird, basically.”
That's not RFK Jr. talking. He died long ago. His body is being controlled by the worms.
This was the worms' plan all along: finally revenge on the chickens.
What is the stance of the department of agriculture on the bird flu?
So “do nothing” is his answer to bird flu and measles?
Everyone who survives will be immune.
That's the whole logic. It was awful enough with Covid's 1% mortality. Measles only kills about 0.1%. Bird flu kills 90-100% of infected birds and 50% of infected humans. And there's plenty of lasting/permanent deficits short of literal death. They're psychopaths.
Oh cool, so this world ensure it spreads to humans. Would could go wrong?
Global Pandemic 2: Bird Flu Boogaloo
That was the whole play with COVID. Not much changes in 5 years it seems.
I guess that would succeed in killing off a bunch of the elderly and infirmed, which be a huge savings to Medicare and social Security, so it's a win-win right?
/S if it wasn't implied already
That is exactly how the Nazis in charge are thinking about this. They assume they'll make it through because they're constitutionally superior, while the weak die and are no longer a burden on the Übermenschen.
Yeah, of we could just stop importing food from the USA, that would be greaaaaat
'Murica, I swear you guys really need a slapping.
Please invade us. We need help
Anyone have the quotes handy on how they want to destroy the country and rebuild as feudal kingdoms?
Genius.
That’s just about got the whole zeitgeist sewn up.
What's the worst that could happen?
