Uhh it leaked earlier today that they're trying to revamp the categories of vaccine so they can reduce the number of required vaccines for everyone including kids. Worst timeline. Could not have made me believe this was possible 15 years ago.

20 years ago I was at a university that was studying mRNA bombing as a way to deliver "impossible" vaccines. We were young millennials, still dreaming of a better future. We really thought that 80% of cancers would have effective vaccines by the time we were 50.
Instead, most of us are repeating that MMR is safe, moving up our first colonoscopies, and exhaustedly reminding our parents not to believe anything they see on the Internet. If this isn't the worst timeline it's an honorable fuckin' mention.
Daily reminder that the billionaire class wants most of us dead. They will not give you health care. They will destroy the CDC. They want pandemics to ravage the masses and reduce our numbers. They want our assets and our wealth and they want you dead. They don't want things to be safe. They don't want cars to be safe. They don't want your drinking water to be safe. They want it all to be as hazardous as possible so that the most number of people die.
They are happy when bad things happen to you. And they really believe that they're entitled to the planet. This is all working towards their goal.
But then why simultaneously complain about low birth rates? They seem to want a growing workforce class they can exploit.
They want the older ones that have known a better life to die so that they can teach the young to serve and obey, that's why they are complaining about birth rates.
They don't have their robotic workforce and killer drones just yet. towards the billionaire utopia, the billionaires require their killing machine to be up and running at max efficiency, yet they still need babies to fuck, kill, and exploit. It's really a a transitional need, not part of what I would think is the final vision.

An empty playground for the rich free of taxation, with AI doing all the production for them. It’s like reverse communism, with the bourgeoisie completely conquereing and eliminating the proletariat.
It's like Epstein Island, but everywhere!
I don’t get the logic. Not criticizing you, because it’s one good explanation. Who generates the wealth for the billionaire class? Who receives the wealth? You’d want highly educated people and not peasants. Wouldn’t you rather grift in Taiwan than North Korea?
Corporations spent hundreds of billions on LLMs to crator the value of skilled labor, justify mass layoffs, and launder stolen content, all to cut cost. Whether it's legal regulations or basic human rights, in the eyes of sycophants, any perceived risk to their profit margin is deemed unacceptable including their own employees.
Smaller companies are themselves not meant to survive and intended to diversify legal risks and consequences (e.g. Alphabet and Meta split from Google and Facebook). This way they can be dismantled and sold once the legal baggage becomes unprofitable without risking the wealth that has long since been funnelled to its 'legally distinct' owners. The collateral damage to the now unemployed is simply one less thing off their balance sheet and is much easier to do when you have home turf legal ~~corruption~~ advantages.
So no, it's not about generating stable wealth long term as it is about capturing any source of capital by any means necessary, legality and morals be damned.
In my mind, it doesn't really matter who generates the wealth. They already have it. They're just picking up the rest of the floor. And technically, I said, most of us. They want a small serving class. They will always need it. They take the path of least the resistance first. Take out all the lower hanging fruit.
Except that highly educated people are going to eventually fight back or flee grift and fascism. Only the dull , unskilled and propagandized will stick around until the leopards eat their faces.
Resigning would be getting off lightly. All these murderous crooks need prosecuting to the full extent of the law.
A dude who had brain worms, defies all science that indicates that vaccines don’t cause autism, and eats rotting whale carcass isn’t the sort to swallow his pride and quit.
He’s also a heroin addict.
This is why more unity and coordination by people needs to happen. A lot already has happened but the more the better. It gets better when we all do as one
He'll never resign. That would imply that he's capable of admitting to being wrong. And he's too fucking crazy for that. He believes all the bullshit he says.
Lol he killed a shit load of Somali children, two more people ain't gonna mean a thing to him.
It was in Samoa, not Somalia.
Damn, knew my dumb ass should have double checked. Holy fuck that was seven years ago and still nothing happened to the fuck.
Well something happened: he was elevated to
I am so sick of typing that out I stopped mid sentence.

When RFK Jr. was born, the measles vaccine hadn't even been created.
He described himself as a "measles survivor" because he had a very mild case. I'd like to see him go up to a child who is dying of the measles and try to explain how it's not supposed to be that bad.
I imagine that people like RFK Jr. are the reason that humans invented the idea of hell. There's literally no punishment that the man could possibly receive that would even put the smallest dent in the amount of misery he's needlessly created.
Just wait until people sink their teeth into the beef
What a load of horse shit!
What a load of horse ~~shit!~~
I would be proud to be a vegetarian if I could just stop shitting piss out my ass.
What, ivermectin not working? :p
I'm not sure his resignation would help, clearly Trump is more antivaxx than he is and is breathing down his neck to prove vaccines cause autism. Trump would only replace him with someone more radical.
Trump would only replace him with someone more ~~radical~~ insane.
FTFY
Resignation is not enough. Imprisonment for social murder.
Pfff. This asshole is never wrong. It’s just deflect, redirect, butwhatabout, move on to the next “breathing air causes autism” bullshit.
I love how (some of) his former supporters are all up in arms over this, but still can't see that everyone else in the administration they voted for is just as bad.
You cannot shame people who are shameless.
Let's settle down guys, it's not like there a safe and proven vaccine that's available that the administration had simply been telling people wasn't necessary....

What about all the assholes besides him that are there, though? I don't think he was the only dumbfuck anti-enlightenment asshole put into power in these critical government positions.
pro-science organizing group
Got excited when I read this. Yes yes yes where do I join and let me give you money are we fielding a Presidential candidate??
Let them drink bleach
His hanging would be fine
Would pay to watch
Just last week I was looking at the measles stats for 2026 and thought to myself, "huh, no deaths yet." And here we are.
This is what fascism has to offer you: death and increased prices due to pointless wars. Oh and pedophilia, LOTS of that apparently.
Robert roadkill penis eater is not qualified for the job he is employed at, or any other job for that matter.
Calls you say? That sounds official and serious.
Its mad?
2? Rookie numbers. 2 don't even register for these morons. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
