Summary
The nomination of anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as U.S. health secretary under Donald Trump has alarmed global health experts, who fear it could undermine vaccination efforts and public health globally.
Kennedy has a history of spreading vaccine misinformation, which critics warn could reduce immunization rates, risking outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.
His plans to reform U.S. health agencies and tackle “corruption” could disrupt institutions like the FDA, while Trump’s broader policies may include withdrawing from the WHO and reinstating abortion funding bans.
Concerns also extend to potential trade wars affecting medicine supplies.
the guy endorses raw milk on a time when non infectious avian flu viral particles are found in pasteurised supermarket milk. he is the walking embodiment of disaster.
Hope he follows his own teachings and let biology sort this out.
Dear Trump voters:
Congratulations. You just destroyed our Department of Health. You realize this is just as likely to kill you as us right? Probably even more so because we will be on our guard.
did you ask if Republican voters realize something? realization requires using your brain, something that would’ve prevented them from voting Republican in the first place
They’re basically the stupidest part of our population. I don’t think they’ll ever understand the connection between their idiotic voting behavior and the consequences of those choices. Remember–they’re fucking morons.
They don’t care. They’ve got scapegoats and as long as Israel is cooking then they’re stupid rapture is on its way. Delusional fuckheads have no concept of personal responsibility.
then they’re stupid rapture is on its way.
Can I…can I ramble a sec for anybody willing to see this?
I was raised around this rapture insanity. There’s lots of evidence that this entire interpretation of Revelation isn’t even an apocalyptic prophecy at all. That whole thing might have been started by some con artist named Darby in VERY recent history.
It angers me personally, because it screwed up my perspective in my formative years. Thinking the world was going to end any minute anyway and all the boomers were so friggin excited about that. What the actual hell.
From a believer’s perspective, and I mean actually reading the book, it’s infuriating, that this recent “trendy interpretation” of The Bible has been the excuse to completely wreck the planet we were given and hurt so many beautiful people and living things.
These scum claim to be godly, but treat
theirOUR home like a shitty rock-band treats a hotel room, and they think they’re magically going to just get whooshed away from the consequences after they instigate WWIII to try and what, strongarm God into coming back because He smelled smoke and ruin?!I want to band up with other believers against this “republichristian” cult. I wanna shout this from the rooftops.
But I’ll be honest, I also don’t want bombs sent to my house. I could rant on this all day, but American Christianity used to be a thorn in the side of capitalists. Christians helped everybody, sheltered them in their churches, didn’t force them to rely on whatever the gilded assholes were selling, created community. Christians used to be good people, dammit. Christians used to be straight-up BASED.
But capitalists absolutely made a concerted effort to turn it into the monster we have today. Where people claim to follow a God who warned them against swearing oaths, while being the strongest supporters of “pledging allegiance” to “a flapping pretty banner and its current owners at the moment.”
“Americhristianism” is the Devil’s most clever work of our time. Now more people just automatically blanket-hate Christians than ever. Nice friggin’ evangelism right?!
Breaks my heart. Feels like screaming against a deadly avalanche of stupid…
(Behind the Bastards podcast has a great couple episodes on “How the Rich Ate Christianity”)
[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [23] And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
These so-called Christians are like the Pharisees that Jesus opposed.
As a former christian, I wish I could upvote this all the more. I really don’t have anything to add, you just hit everything directly on.
“Could”…
Try… “Will”
This entire incoming administration is hand picked for the purpose of fucking America up as much as possible.
of course.
Russia can’t take over unless they infect us from the inside.
this is exactly the same thing that happened to them in the 1980s. Corrupt oligarchs selling national interests one slice at a time.
Brain worms for everyone!
I’d like to fit in with this new America I’ve found myself in. What’s the best way to spread polio to these people who so desperately desire it?
I’m not even an expert and I’m fucking terrified what his brain worm ass is going to do.
It’s pretty simple really. How about foreign countries don’t let unvaxxed people in. Not for vacations, not for business, not for anything. U.S. wants to be morons, let them be morons inside their own borders.
I mean… Cull the herd I guess…
Isn’t he also against antidepressants
He literally thinks they cause school shootings.
Also, he thinks AIDS is caused by gay people partying, not a virus. I’m not kidding.
According to Pence, he seems to be for abortion, somehow.
Hope you enjoy the fallout that a large unvaccinated population causes even in those who are vaccinated
Yes. That would suck.
Well at least you won’t have to waste money on expensive bombs and stuff. Just give the money to your oligarchs and send your troops off to breath on the enemy.
With the guy that’s going to be defense secretary saying “I don’t see germs, so they aren’t real” maybe it could be the opposite.
I don’t also see ionizing radiations, so they definitely aren’t real, maybe let him taste some polonium tea
Also the irony of a Christian fundamentalist saying that because something can’t be seen, then it can’t be real
Your comment just got better and better 😁
Yay! Another brick in the wall to destroy the USA. Or is it PRICK?
Only if the rest of the world lets them be influenced by the US. If major powers like the EU do, then it’s their own fault.
Antibiotic-resistant communicable diseases don’t respect political borders.
Don’t let in the US migrants nor their ideologies 🤷
COVID showed us that when we close the borders it’s already too late.
American avian flu will be global long before enough other governments take it seriously enough to react, because the people who should have raised the alarm (in the USA) will be too busy looking for a job, in jail, dead, or ignoring it and drinking raw milk.
If Trump can finally convince all major industries to move out of the USA maybe the world will improve
He will get forced out before anything gets too bad. There’s way too much money involved in many of the things he wants to change for corporations to just take it.
He will get forced out before anything gets too bad
Forced by who??
The monied interests in the healthcare world.
*will
