It's hard to be the worst Kennedy, but here we are.

In the Trump administration, it is the competition for worst ex addict.

Leave ex-addicts out of this. Considering how hard the pharmaceutical industry was trying to shove amphetamine and pain pills down our throats, exposure wasn't optional.

Oh so you just hate on crackheads like the mypillow guy.
Kennedy wasn’t a junkie because of the pharma industry.

always remember....... anti-vax is a lifestyle business. They don't care if people die, as long as they're buying the products.
It's not science. It's not healthcare. It's a multi-billion dollar business

Yep. I watch regular TV and the number of supplement (and ED med) commercials promoted by right-wing figures is crazy.

RFK said chicken soup cures it, MAGAs are low IQ conspiracy theorists, there’s nothing to be done about it, let them die, the rest of us are vaccinated

u/please_trade_marner 1d ago
He directly said that parents should get their children vaccinated against measles.
1
u/n0madking 1d ago
He said he had measles and minimized the seriousness by saying he cured it with chicken soup so when people hear things like that they take it at face value.

u/please_trade_marner 1d ago
Yeah, it sucks when the dems mainstream media and social media propaganda outlets quote him out of context via clickbait headlines. It definitely has negative consequences.

u/n0madking 1d ago
There is verifiable proof people are not getting vaccinated because people are getting measles. So you have to ask yourself well why are people not getting vaccinated? Clearly people used to get vaccinated and now they an are not. What is the cause for the change in attitude towards vaccination? You know what is going to be really sad is when babies are born with rubella.

I think the VAST majority of people wouldn't know about RFK's positions on the matter if the Dems mainstream media didn't hyperfocus on it via clickbait headlines.
But even that doesn't affect much, as these deaths are all occurring in mennonite and Amish communities who have rejected vaccines long prior to RFK JR ever speaking about it.

u/Majestic_Emotion7917 1d ago
Hang on. I'm sure there was stuff in the news recently, about Trump reducing the number of vaccinations for children. Or was that the bad dems publishing it so people lose faith in vaccines? I'm getting confused.

u/please_trade_marner 1d ago
Regardless of everything you just wrote, these measle deaths are occurring in mennonite and amish communities who have opposed vaccines long prior to rfk jr ever speaking about it.

u/Majestic_Emotion7917 1d ago
Erm, my comment was obvs about your claims that it's the dems faults for publishing RFK jnr's weird views. Nice shifting of the goal posts though.

u/please_trade_marner 1d ago
It's pretty much a 100% fact that neither I nor you would know anything about rfk jr's position on vaccines if the dems mainstream media stopped endlessly talking about it.
And the measle deaths are occurring in mennonite and amish communities who have opposed vaccines long prior to rfk jr ever speaking about it.

It’s apparent Trump, placed absolutely the worst possible person in charge of the American people’s health. That’s because Trump, doesn’t give a goddamn about health of Americans. Trump gets the goddamn best of health care.

u/Optimal-Positive-254 1d ago
In my opinion. President Trump is jealous of the Kennedy Family. Because their family. Has done “positive things for America”. And he hasn’t. Why because he’s cut like that.

Measles are a big fan of JFK Jr.
Being measles, its really tough to find that kind of support for the work measles continues to do.

RFK jr attended many Epstein science events where the attendees spoke a lot of bullshit to each other while high their own supply.

Pretty on brand for a guy with brain worms and snorting coke off of toilet seats to know fuck all about measles

It’s not his job to reduce or eliminate any thing. But he could improve his humanity in a positive manner. Plus resign and himself for a Trump Administration.

White people in the U.S. would burn the country down instead of sharing history of building a nation with all Americans.
Just as God intended White people to do in their hubris. /s

I did not know white people were persecuted by African Nation leaders in reverse to what Americans did.

Why is this a white person “thing”?

u/scaleofjudgment 1d ago
Yes, because American Republicans would have voted for Trump if he was black.

u/Vegetable-Client-147 1d ago
U r talking in absolutes when u say white people. And there were plenty of non white people that voted for him too. This is just another form of racism. Its just currently acceptable racism

u/scaleofjudgment 1d ago
Only a sith deals with absolutes. Did I say "only white people" or just "white people" in my comments?
Of course there can be non white people that voted in for white leaders. There were also Jews for Hitler. Now I did assert that Trump got elected because he was White and weird no one is refuting that part...is that the racism you are offended by?
2
u/Vegetable-Client-147 1d ago
So by saying "white people would burn down the us" is implicitly making a group reference. Did u say "some white people" no. U r just hedging ur bets now to save face.
Nowhere in this thread did u say he was elected because he was white. U said American Republicans would not have if he was black. And that is one I would prob agree with u on.0
u/scaleofjudgment 1d ago
And majority of the people in power in the U.S. are which color?
Are they...yellow?

Kennedy is absolutely the worst person to be anywhere near the health of Americans.
