It is almost like these Republicans are lying sacks of shit.

[–] LMurch@thelemmy.club 15 points 2 days ago

Pretty much...

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 98 points 2 days ago (4 children)

So the guy who spent his formative years hanging out in a pit full of rotting animal corpses is going to teach us all about healthy living?

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 66 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Are you implying that brain worms and heroin are not healthy? That worm ate its way to the top.

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

Considering RFK's obvious stupidity, I'm guessing you mean ist started as a suppository.

[–] JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Relax, he's just a brain damaged heroin addict with barely the ability to speak, how bad could it be ?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't be silly.
He also kept roadkill in his fridge.

... and tied to the roof of his car (shark head)

... and in central park (whole black bear)

hanging out in a pit full of rotting animal corpses

while practicing falconry, on acid.

Basically, ignore the FDA from this point onward and instead self-regulate using bodies like Europe's EMA.

As of right now I no longer trust the FDA, and they were kinda on thin ice before.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, at what point does all that "they want to kill you with vaccines" bullshit end up being projection like literally everything else? Are we going to have to actually start being skeptical of FDA approved vaccines? Ugh. I hope not. Either way, I'll be paying more attention to what Europe might have to say about pharmaceutical matters going forward...

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My kids will continue to follow a vaccine schedule based on facts and peer-reviewed studies. Not whatever RFK jr read about on Facebook.

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Up until he has the FDA ban those vaccines in the US. He already said he wanted them to nix Polio vaccine.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

True Republican fashion. They got the benefits, time to fuck over anyone that comes after them.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I'm sure this will be a panel of doctors and scientists with excellent credentials, right? Right?

Andrew Wakefield walking into the room like:

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago

I'm owning my mistake

This might be my favorite meme.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Glad we got everything up to schedule before these assholes took over.

FUCK THESE ASSHOLES. Even if they just throw doubt on vaccines, that might drive down herd immunity.

[–] suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

In case any other parents wander in here late, the American Academy of Pediatrics operates a website specifically designed to help parents make informed health care decisions about their children called healthychildren.org, bookmark it as your list of reliable sources for that kind of information continues to grow thinner.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Who is stupid enough to believe what a politician promised?

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 21 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Who's going to conduct the studies they are suggesting? They are firing all the trainees who would have done data collection and who would sign up for a job now that you know you might not only get fired with zero notice, the dismissal letter will state that you have performance issues, so you won't have credibility to get a new job.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He already knows the answer - just need to have an intern write up the justification.

That's how he thinks science works.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Exactly... He's talking about the same thing with SSRIs as if we don't already have like billions of pages of research on them already. They want to just ignore that and make up their own reality.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Also going after ADHD meds, antipsychotics, and weight loss drugs. I'm terrified. I knew the Nazis came for the disabled early on. I selfishly thought that didn't include me. If I lose access to my medications, disabled will be the word for me for sure.

Look up his idea for Wellness Farms. Get you off your mental health meds while doing literal slave labor in farming. For three to five years.

I'm fairly certain I would k.m.s, unless I had notice they were coming and I would probably go out in a gunfight.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

He can probably spin to some LLM and prompt it with something like: "You are crazy conspiracy theorist that doesn't believe in proven science. Use some fancy-sounding words to convince a nation of dumbasses of the same thing."

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Some teenagers in fElonYouth. Maybe Big Balls will offer up some of his time to study the issue.

[–] downhomechunk@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

The loyalists who replace the fired workers, duh!

[–] JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That directive said the commission will be made up of cabinet members and other officials from the administration

People like MGT in other words. Not to worry.

China is getting its smallpox vaccine out of storage - "give us Taiwan or the round-eyed devils get it !"

Looks like an old catcher's mitt.

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

The thing these idiots don’t understand is the tremendous life threatening risk their actions give those that can’t get vaccinated because they lack a competent immune system.

[–] Bieren@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

No one knows more about putting things in your body than a maga cuck heroin addict.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

The Republicans lied?! Nonsense! They have and would never do that! 🙄

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Of course he’d walk it back and to the left.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Egads! Do you ever get the feeling of deja Vu? Something like...

Republican-X will fuck issue-Y after promising to not fuck issue-Y.

Maybe the problems aren't the issues... Maybe there's something other common factor that should instead get fucked?

And there it is.
