Sounds like the deep state got to him....lolol
Now imagine if instead of recommending vaccination during an outbreak, it was recommended before anything happened. Crazy thought, I know. Only way this could have happened is by not having a complete moron obsessed with his countless delusions as the fucking head of the health department of one of the largest country in the world, is all.
Capitalism when the plague outbreak shatters an economy and all the money you piled on isn't going to save you from sickness that doesn't give a damn.
"I lost my virginity to an all metal toilet in Guam. It was Robert Downey Sr's 43rd birthday party, I was bill cosby's +1 and we were celebrating at the corporate training restaurant for Cici's pizza. The toilet penetrated me with the confidence of an Olympic fencing champion and I saw the face of god. They served corn dogs, but reverse what you're picturing."
-RFK Jr., 12 years old, mumblng to himself and convulsing before passing out in a ditch after snorting the entire contents of a full size fire extinguisher
what the fuck did i just read
The truth, brother... The truth.
P.S. RFK Jr. probably killed a young girl with a golf club and the family had a "lesser" cousin take the fall. And his wife later hung herself. What the fudge, right?
Keep em coming guys…
Reddit aint got %#!* on us ✌🏻
Vaccines are not supposed to be reactionary, they are preperatory.
indeed
he told them to vaccinate because school is about to start
Too late. Kids won't get significant immunity in time. Prepare for a shit show this fall but different from the explosive shit show of the summer.
To everyone saying broken clock and a glimmer of hope, you just need to read the article that it isn’t. He was just cornered and had no room to wiggle out of it.
Any hope that Kennedy’s measles statement might indicate a change of heart were dashed in the rest of the CNN interview in which he turned combative. Batting off questions from Bash, the health secretary responded with personal attacks.
He accused the CNN host of “saying nonsense”, “repeating like a parrot” and “making assertions you can’t support”. In one especially demeaning remark he said Bash had become “flustered”.
“I’m not flustered at all,” she asserted in a calm voice. “I am frustrated because you are the HHS secretary and you are talking about things that lead to vaccine hesitancy in this country.”
In a further comment dripping with condescension, Kennedy told Bash “you probably don’t understand this because you’re not a scientist”.
The journalist riposted: “But you’re not, either.”
Kennedy used the CNN exchange to spread further misinformation about other aspects of public health. He claimed that both respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that is a major cause of infant mortality and Lyme disease were caused by manipulation of germs in laboratories.
[...] Kennedy told Bash “you probably don’t understand this because you’re not a scientist”.
The journalist riposted: “But you’re not, either.”
Lmao! Well done!
I have received +3 Mental Damage from reading that first bit.
Lordy, I need to start using that line. Thank you.
He should be personally, criminally, liable for the deaths and suffering caused by his policies. So should leadership that supported him.
So should Elon for shutting down Usaid
Ohhhh that's gonna piss off the plague rats.
But, but, but...what about thew leukemia you get from those bad medicines???
The health secretary’s call for parents to vaccinate their children for measles contrasts starkly with the many years in which Kennedy has been a leading proponent of misinformation questioning the efficacy and safety of vaccinations. Even since he became the country’s top health official, he has depicted a measles vaccination as a personal choice and claimed inaccurately that the power of the inoculation is waning.
Children are dead because of what he chose to say.
He went on to blame the outbreaks on religious communities who eschew vaccines and on global health conditions.
I mean... a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose. But he should not be in the position he has been appointed to. More people are dying.
A broken clock consistently says the same thing. He's not even a broken clock.
Don't worry... It'll only take another 20 years to get back the herd immunity we already lost. And that's assuming the idiots who listened to him in the first place don't decide this is a liberal psyop and they know he REALLY means NOT to get the vaccination.
Imagine one of the dumbest persons on earth who is also a well known antivax telling you that you have to get some vaccines... and yet many people will still firmly oppose... We do live in the dumbest timeline.
OMFG!!!11! THE DEEP STATE GOT TO HIM!!!
/s just in case...
he should resign, he's way too late for redemption
MAGGA: 🎶 FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME... 🎵
Their musician should just play the guitar and stay out of politics, so I can politicise their songs in support of his enemies and tell him he doesn't understand their music.
So, what company paid him to say that? He obviously didn't come up with that on his own.
Americans are weird.
Seriously insane anti-intellectualist culture were one's correctness is measured by how confident and loud one proclaims one's "facts" and how famous one is, rather than by being or not an expert in an applicable domain.
You see that shit even amongst people who think they're leftwing - notice the frequent parroting of some shit or other said by showbiz celebrities as long as it aligns with one's beliefs. (Sorry but an Acting Professional isn't really an authoritative source for jack shit anything outside their expert domain in showbiz, even if one agrees with what they say, hence their words on other subjects should be treated as having the same weight as those of any other random non-expert).
Which is it? Vaccines are bad or get vaccines? It depends on the wind, it seems.
The first phase was the "fuck around and find out"-phase.
Well, the fucked around and are probably in full damage control now
TRAITOR
He is placing his own opinions over the health of Americans. He is making Americans sick (and dead) to validate his own beliefs. He is a TRAITOR.
Even if we could magically vaccinate every single American today, the virus has a foothold and will spread by usually transmission. People will still go to work, school, shopping, social events etc. There will be more deaths. RFK llike to moron he is, will probably use that to say that vaccines arent effective.
Vaccinating now is still helpful, so if you're not covered, get covered! Tell everyone you know.
To be honest im kind of surprised he backtracked, i was fully certain he would let people die and perpetuate an outbreak just to stick to his schtick
Before bending the knee to Trump, RFK Jr. said he believed the FDA was suppressing data on a host of issues. It’s likely he’s now been aware for quite some time that isn’t the case. Maybe the full weight of how wrong he is finally has an effect on him.
That, or he’s looking to distance himself from Trump like so many others. Blood in the water.
which is it, vaccinate or not to vacicnate. anti-vaxxers are unlikely to vacciante.
Fucking rotten bastard. Someday he'll fucking be sitting in jail for mass murder.
No he won't. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, but I'm being realistic.
Someday he'll live out his life wealthy and entitled with access to the best doctors and lifestyle money can buy. He'll coast through life using his family name and resources to open doors and skirt accountability until he finally dies on his estate surrounded by dozens of people who'll talk about him like he's the second coming.
That seems more accurate.
The weird right-wing conspiracy nutters feel the same way about Fauci. It's wild how obsessed they are with Fauci needing to be punished for a mix of unspecified and entirely invented crimes. Second only to Obama in that department.
I was explaining to my kids how their whole mindset is survival of the fittest. Get a sick...if you die or live if on you and your genes. The weak need to be culled out of exsistence so we can be a stronger species. Regret and shame of their own family tree.
Well, they are right, you just have to define "fit" in terms of intelligence and tool use, as is narrated in schools to describe the difference between a man and a chimp. And they are clearly not fit, don't be like them, they are a bad branch.
