Per anti-vax conspiracy theorist RFK, Jr., Trump promised him control of our public Health agencies in deal for him to drop out and endorse Trump.
The party of small government and freedom.
1.2 million dead Americans was a warm up?
Fascism: “you aight seen nothing yet”
People forget that up to 100 million died because of fascism; most were civilians just living their lives and trying not to die… That would be the equivalent of 300-400 million with today’s population.
There’s such a disconnect with the raw chaos and statistics of life born of the same impulse that makes people make statements like: everything happens for a reason. Because they desperately want reason to be behind everything that happens, including their kid’s autism.
Life functions contrary to such wishes, chaos and statistics feature prominently instead. Random, shitty things will happen. Living healthy, the statistics of some kind of cancer is still ~30% at baseline. Birth anomalies happen. And, statistically, vaccines save lives from hardship and illness, and just save lives.
The more plausible study on autism suggests waiting to have kids is a factor. Our eggs are produced while still in the womb. Meiosis starts before birth and doesn’t complete until after fertilization. There’s room for corruption there that only goes up over time. It’s why we’re at higher risk of problems with births after 35, including Downs. Live your life as you will, this isn’t some veiled trad wife promotion or some other bs, it’s just a piece of the science on egg health over time. Studies also demonstrate men’s age impacts autism risk as well. Old sperm or old eggs, both increase autism risk. All of that said, it’s important to know there’s no 1 single cause of autism. Again, chaos and statistics, not a neat and tidy fix by removing 1 thing from your lives.
Iron Lung futures through the roof!!
It is surreal, in a bad way, to watch as the US might actually vote to put itself in mortal danger.
Unfortunately, not just itself. Pandemics don’t respect borders.
Same goes for fascism…
Some excerpts:
The co-chair of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s transition team promoted the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism in a CNN interview Wednesday. He also said Trump ally Robert F. Kennedy Jr., hopes to get “data” through a Trump administration to have vaccines pulled “off the market.”
Kennedy told supporters earlier this week that Trump had promised to give him “control” over key public health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“The key that I think I’m — you know, that President Trump has promised me is — is control of the public health agencies,” Kennedy said in a livestream, video of which CNN obtained. He cited the Department of Health and Human Services, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health, among others."
Even the normal stuff they say isn’t normal. No CEO comes into a company and is like “hey, I heard I was promised to have total control of this company!” They say “I’m hoping to be effective leader and hope together we can, blah, blah, blah”
No sane person comes into a position like that and says the quiet part out loud “day 1, I was promised total control of public health agencies!”
Very weird indeed.
There an Ezra Klein interview with Maggie Haberman, who has followed trump closely from the start in which she says leading the American people is not what he’s interested in. The constitution and rule of law is not what he’s interested in. It’s power. He’s not keen to dive into those other two things.
He’s also way more erratic and impulsive since getting shot at.
Lol yah, its clear they all want to be dictators, ya know who says, “I was promised total control?” Dictators.
I was just leaning into the ‘weird’ framing, since they seem to fucking hate it.
Also, have we talked yet about how RFK appears to have nearly - if not fully - admitted to illegal corruption?
Sorry to link to a PDF, but see p.8 of this government summary of corruption law: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R44447/9
While supporting a candidate is not illegal, and nor is offering financially valuable support if within limits or through a super PAC, providing value in exchange for a government position - quid pro quo - is illegal. RFK’s exchange of value is not merely supporting Trump, but actively trying to remove himself from the ballot in swing states to materially alter the election. Not illegal except it appears RFK has just admitted he was promised a position in Trump’s administration.
So how do we know it’s quid pro quo? We know leaks before RFK’s endorsement were that he was shopping himself to the Harris and Trump campaigns. He didn’t explicitly say “in exchange for,” but it’s almost certain that’s what happened, and that there are witnesses to it who could testify or be subpoenaed.
wanna bet this guy doesn’t believe in soap?
or that soap is the devil?
Death cult
Why wouldn’t you take health advice from this guy? I mean, apart from the fact that he has already caused disease outbreaks to kill many people?
Can’t just have their voters dying next go round
Goddammit…i just gets worse and worse!
Ya I am sure it would be one hell of a shit show.
what the honey buttered fuck is wrong with these people?
