Ah now that shit might get really serious really quick you're changing your stance? Huh Bobby? I must say I'm a little surprise. You didnt do that the last time you did this.
He's playing both sides.He's going to go back to saying all the other nonsense shit.
Hahahahahahaha have fun with that, Texas, and other antivax-friendly states. I’m out of sympathy. You shit your bed, now lie in it.
I’m gonna get so much mileage out of this gif. But I like it better with no text - it’s more flexible that way
Did anyone check what the greatest intellectual Joe Rogan thinks of his change of mind?
"I'm just a dumb guy, fast tracking fascism and antivax rhetoric to my millions of dumb guy listeners. You shouldn't listen to me."
Also: water is wet.
This is an argument I have with friends, water is not wet, it makes things wet. It's why firefighters add things like dish soap when they need "wet water."
Water makes itself wet.
It makes your mom wet.
That’s my job actually
You are correct. There is even such a thing as dry water. I was first going to put the sky is blue, but similar arguments can be made there.
We find joy where we can in these crazy times and finding this nothing burger of an argument brings me joy.
The water on the other water makes the other water wet, and vice versa
Coming at it from a colloquial definition and not a chemist's definition, though. And I prefer the colloquial definition of "wet".
Someone got a blank next to him and severed his link to nurgle?
Hilarious that someone admitting the obvious makes the news these days.
Sir! Fresh off the presses, water is wet!
Can my line show up in the press now too?
Absolutely! Fifteen minutes of fame, headed your way!
Oh, is he just going to pretend that he hasn't been spearheading a crusade against vaccines for literal decades?
Yes. This is called lying. This is what these people have been doing for a while now. I don't think this will change soon.
I think he actually thinks the things he says, and is just plain nuts. I don't get the impression rfk doesn't care about people deep down like I do with most of them. I think he's genuinely profoundly stupid.
Cynicism is not really correct here. Maybe if you turn one half of one degree and see literally anything else going on right now, but not here.
IIRC, RFK’s stances on health issues were mostly based on a conspiracy theory that the institutions he now leads were deliberately burying studies and mass amounts of data. If that were true, he’d obviously be crowing about it at every opportunity.
Instead, he found out that his conspiracy theories are bullshit, and that he’s now beholden to Trump and MAGA fascism. He’s going to accidentally say something against the narrative from time-to-time. I’m sure Trump or Elon or whoever is in charge will make him do something humiliating to atone for it.
Don’t get me wrong, though. I’m not defending RFK, Jr. it’s extremely sad that the apple fell so very far from the tree.
it’s extremely sad that the apple fell so very far from the tree.
It really is, man... Had RFK not been killed, the US could have turned out so much differently. He was on his way to becoming president and would likely have been the most progressive since FDR.
Most effective is to get a vaccine before being exposed to Measles ffs.
Why do you think we give herpes vaccines to pre-teens? It's not because we are expecting them to be sexually active, it's because it works better before they are exposed.
RFK and the goons have fired medical doctors at the FDA this week because they would not say that MMR vaccine caused autism. Don't believe these clowns have changed their story. This is just more lies and distractions.
Not only has there never been a link shown between autism and vaccines. Autism is genetic. Someone is born autistic. It's not a disease you can contract later in life. From vaccines or anywhere else. Which makes the claim all the more dubious.
~~dubious~~ horseshit
dubious; adj. open to doubt or suspicion
There's no doubt or suspicion.
*Second most effective way to prevent spread.
Technically, the most effective way is to eliminate all viable hosts.
I should read that again.
It’s honestly a fascinating book
Oh? I thought you said it was vitamin A, you brain worm dumb fuck
The worm in gnawing on his brain must have given him a temporary reprieve. Or perhaps there's a more reasonable explanation to Bear Roadkill-Devouring, Whale Guy suddenly changing stance.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocated for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine during a visit to West Texas on Sunday to comfort two families whose children died of the disease.
Driving the news: Both children in Gaines County were not vaccinated when they died of measles, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Maybe they were too young yet? Somehow I doubt it.
They were not. Even if they were, typically, mmr is pretty standard for the parents and anyone else who will be coming into contact with a child too young. Because this is the result otherwise
He didn't seem to care when he got dozens of kids killed by measles in American Samoa, but now that it's white kids in the metropole he changes his tune...
OK that actually wasn't on my 2025 bingo card
what the fuck
Yep
He is just saying that any vaccine created since Jenny McCarthy got up to speed on Andrew Wakefield's nonsense is bad.
All of those other vaccines that did so much good when he was young are fine.
If it didn't come out of "the good old days" of when these people were in their prime it is some liberal conspiracy after all. /s
Buy your "Not vaxxed, not afraid" baby onesie today!
Is the brain tissue growing back?
WOT?! I thought he didn't recommend vaccines until they were safe! Is this a John Kerry style flip-flop???
All y'all dumping on him for being anti-vaccine: You're not wrong, but remember, we want to reward positive behavior! Else, why would anyone ever reverse course?
