You should have seen the BS panel on SSRIs in pregnancy assembled for the FDA the other week. Largely staffed by "experts" completely out of touch with mainstream medicine. People like Kennedy have their wacko preconceived ideas, then they backfill it by finding quacks with credentials to back them up.

I can't fucking believe this where we are with science. Who needs Science when you have Superstition? The Republican party has become the party of pseudoscience and medical quackery. Science: Out - Junk Science: In.

If it weren't for baseless lies, MAGAs wouldn't have jack shit! Dying of a preventable disease is certainly one way to MAGA :rolleyes:

Most Americans, even some Republicans, understand the efficacy of vaccines. Trump doesn't understand the damage Kennedy is doing to him. But it's understandable. Trump doesn't understand anything.

A massive tax increase isn't necessarily going to fix things. These scientific pipelines can stretch years, and the people that know these technologies and whatnot are not widgets that can be substituted for other knowledgeable people.

Fun fact, my former wife's dad knows him pretty well as he does ministry stuff at the prison he's incarcerated in. He also knows Suge Knight! (whose name he pronounced as Suggie Knight, haha)

And $450 million for some fucking tents and cots to make Alligator Auschwitz. This shithole country is as blatantly corrupt as Russia.

Switching channels on TV a news station locally showed a neighbor of his commenting… “he came around the whole neighborhood telling us the Covid vaccines made him ill.”

TF?!

I'm finding that I need to censor myself with regards to the lunatic and how his life might end. Anyway, its weird to now know what someone in a 3rd world feels when you know there is something out there that could save your life, but you have no access to it.

IMO I really do think we need the old gods to come back.

Look what happened in Texas with measles. 800 infected, 100 hospitalized, and 2 kids dead. Vaccination rate? Now higher than they were pre-RFK.

Just remember the new golden rule: "So long as it hurts someone else and not me, it's fine". My kids have their vaccines and we live relatively clean and healthy lives.

Other people's families are a sacrifice I am willing to make so long as it reminds people that *preventative* medicine is working when nothing is happening.

This article is by Bernie himself and was published in The New York Times this morning.

And the point is the federal administration doesn't want to follow the science. But CA, WA and OR do.

Michael Osterholm (vaccine and immunology expert extraordinaire) said axing vaccine mandates for diseases such as measles, polio, etc. is setting off a "ticking time-bomb."

Live Updates: Kennedy Rejects Criticism, Data and Decorum in Contentious Hearing​

A combative Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended his tenure as health secretary in a Senate hearing. A prominent Republican told him that his actions were “denying people vaccine.”


Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced a withering barrage of questioning from a Senate committee on his vaccine policy and his record as President Trump’s health secretary, responding at times with clear disdain for the senators, public health data and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which he oversees.

Appearing before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Mr. Kennedy blamed the C.D.C. for the number of American deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic, and said he did not trust the data that showed vaccines saved millions of lives in the United States and elsewhere during the pandemic. Mr. Kennedy also falsely asserted that there were no cuts to Medicaid in President Trump’s domestic policy bill, and rejected bipartisan criticism that his actions were making it harder for people to obtain vaccines.
- - - -
Senator Roger Marshall, Republican of Kansas, repeated Kennedy’s misleading summation that children receive 76 vaccination jabs — Kennedy had said as many as 92 — by age 18. Marshall also pointed out that Kennedy’s decision to restrict vaccines to adults older than 65 is in line with the policies in Britain and France. But what the senator did not say is that the vaccines are still approved in those countries for people who would like to take it. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has limited approval of the vaccine to older adults, meaning others must seek the vaccine off-label and may need to pay out of pocket. That makes access essentially impossible.

Since Kennedy took office, the C.D.C. has been in a state of turmoil. It has lost thousands of employees, lost entire divisions as well as many top officials and was the site of a shooting.

Kennedy suggested he is not done with the agency. “What we’re going to do is reorganize C.D.C.,” he said.

Trump picked RFK to run the HHS and in particular the CDC into the dirt, to get revenge on Fauci and the science community for exposing him for the moronic charlatan of a leader he was/is during and after the Covid pandemic, and for any number of reasons to make himself happy, also draining funds out of HHS to finance the tax cuts he gave himself.

What Trump didn't intend to do with the HHS was to further the capabilities of the HHS for providing the working class masses with improved services department wide. That mofo narcissistic felon perv is all about taking things away from the general public in order to give himself and his billionaire enablers the bounty it creates, no two ways about it.

And he's having his own wage earning middle class and destitute Republican MAGAts do it for them, with these working class folks believing they're being patriotic cutting their own throats while doing God's work in the process. They're in the process of creating a whole new much more devastating definition of insanity where being that insane is a good thing.
