We know it's a priority - and so far you're doing a great job getting it spread around everywhere
His top priority really ought to be drinking himself to death ASAP.
Sorry but I disagree. Drinking yourself to death is not painful enough.
Someone needs to introduce him to this new homeopathic treatment I just invented called Bath Salts Therapy. Give him his first dose on stage
He's coming around, boys. I think we're going to be ok.
I think you’re overly optimistic here. Samoa was only 6 years ago.
Remember this anytime you see this fuck say anything about “it’s for the children”. His group encouraged them not to vaccinate, and then:
“Months after Kennedy’s visit, the question of what would happen to Samoa’s unvaccinated babies was answered. A measles outbreak swept the country, sickening thousands and killing 83, mostly small children. As measles raged, Kennedy stayed connected to the island, writing to the prime minister to raise concerns about the vaccine and providing medical guidance to a local anti-vaccine activist who posted false claims about the vaccination campaign and promoted unproven alternative cures.”
That's weird, why would he send vaccines? Those have 5g signal receivers in it for mind control. Is he stupid?
The immunity rate if fully vaccinated is 97%, but that still means 3% of people that did the right thing could die because of shithead conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. Heard immunity only works if everyone that can does the right thing. We learned with COVID that many people would rather turn to conspiracy theories then science if it means they get a feeling of belonging to a group, even if that group is a cult.
I can only hope one of the experts got through to him. Hopefully he keeps listening to whoever it was.
I assume that an adult finally sat him down and explained how bad the situation is in simple kid friendly terms.
A good predictor of when they'll walk something back is if whatever it is is stupid/evil enough to also screw over the very wealthy. Measles well and truly coming back would fit the bill.
Dead kids changing a Republican's behavior on a politicized issue???
Cool, now do guns.
With Nazis running the show I don't think giving them a monopoly on force is a good idea.
If you think the type of arms you can get your hands on will help one iota you are gravely mistaken
Should the people ever need to fight the government of the US there are only two things that will matter:
How much of the military joins which side
Which nations supply each side with arms
Either the people get some of the military on their side (along with the planes, tanks, drones, etc they bring along) and are propped up by foreign interests, or the military steamrolls any resistance.
This has been true in every major conflict in the last several decades. You either have the support of military assets and foreign governments or you lose.
If it comes to that, at least I can take as many of them with me as I can lmao
Was RFK ever pro-gun? I sincerely don't remember.
Yes, he has a consistent record of voting in line with the arms manufacturers' lobby interests. He does not believe gun violence should even be researched.
We are sending 2000 gun shot vaccines! Lol

I have a suggestion: since the vaccine is not safe, why don’t we do a lockdown? /s
Alternatively, if we did a speedrun on herd immunity, Trump would have another thing to boast about to the world! /s

“Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions etc. have zero to little risk….so we use them to develop herd…we want them infected…" Alexander added.
They were considering that, because they figured it would hurt blue states more.

“And so, I am putting America’s best homeopaths and aromatherapists on the case”
The government will be handing out free healing crystals starting tomorrow.
New emergency number: dial 711, and the homeopath-helicopter will be dispatched to your location to administer emergency foot zone therapy and essential oils.
Instead of sending us all COVID tests, they'll send us a pack of healing crystals this time.
Space-X© healing crystals, provided for free but at an acquisition cost to the US government of $37 per crystal.
ignore reality all you want, it won't go away
His brain worms is controlling his speech
Can confirm, have tried.
would send Texas 2,000 doses
Yeah, that actually sounds reasonable for a small localized outbreak when most are already vaccinated...
A total of 164 measles cases were reported as of 27 February across Alaska, California, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, Rhode Island and Texas, information from the CDC showed. About 95% of those infected were unvaccinated people, including children whose parents did not follow CDC recommendations to get them immunized with safe, effective vaccines providing protection against measles as well as other easily preventable diseases. Another 3% were from people who received only one of the two required shots for immunity, CDC data showed on Friday.
These cases were reported in nine jurisdictions, including Kentucky, marking a near 80% jump from 93 cases reported a week ago.
Too bad it's fucking everywhere and spreading insanely quickly...
Unfortunately, I suspect we're in the incubation phase of a likely superspreader event (the contagious kid who spent time in crowded college areas, two weeks before (a) symptoms appear and (b) one of those colleges goes on spring break).
I'm betting that, of the hundreds of people exposed and the couple dozen people who probably caught it, at least some of them will go on spring break, and infect other spring breakers who will then bring it home to their colleges. It'll have a couple months to spread there, then some of them will bring it home for the summer.
It sure would've been nice if we'd had politicians who were actually both sane and foresightful .... :(
2000 is laughable. And they're having "measles" parties? lol gl!
You don’t need measles parties. The virus is so contagious you more or less can get it by looking at an infected person if you are not already immune.
