Conspiracy theorists: crickets

Agreed, FACTUAL EVIDENCE of a conspiracy theory is collected by reputable Johns Hopkins University and George Washington University and crickets. People flock to conspiracies with no evidence, but once one appears with authentic validation... nothing.

Troll accounts that had attempted to influence the US election had also been tweeting about vaccines, a study says. Many posted both pro- and anti-vaccination messages to create "false equivalency", the study found. It examined thousands of tweets sent between 2014 and 2017. Vaccination was being used by trolls and sophisticated bots as a "wedge issue", said Mark Dredze from Johns Hopkins University. "A significant portion of the online discourse about vaccines may be generated by malicious actors with a range of hidden agendas," said David Broniatowski from George Washington University. The researchers reviewed more than 250 tweets about vaccination from accounts linked to the St Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency (IRA). In February the agency was named in a US indictment over alleged election meddling.

It's also capable of sterilizing victims, which would lead to a population decline if everybody got it.

No, don't interpret the Pubelicans words. They mean exactly what they say. There is no hidden meaning or "what he really means". For years the news and media did the "what he probably means" with Trump and it was not true, he literally meant what he said. Don't do that for this piece of shit, if he can't speak clearly and truthfully then he's unfit for his position. We as a people should not have to read between the lines.

I consider him more of an apple head.

Hospitals should be able to refuse patients who get diseases that are preventable with vaccines. Problem solved.

I'm really confused about his statement.

I mean, let's assume he's right, and let's assume that a vaccine only protects you for, say, 20 years. Just measles induced encephalitis alone has a lethality of 0.1%. How many cases of anything more than a mild fever did any vaccine ever cause? He's not even claiming it's causing autism or death or transformation into Space Godzilla. So why not just vaccinate? It's stupid even in his own world.

This is how I feel RFK jr has always operated. He does/proposes/thinks progressive things right up until it really goes off the rails. Like, he argued there are medical biases against Black Americans (very much true and well researched), but then segued into the COVID-19 vaccines being medical experiments on minorities and tried to discourage vaccination that way. He usually starts with a good cause but inevitably drags it into conspiracy territory. Also someone is sanewashing his Wikipedia article because there’s a lot of his bullshit missing from a few months ago.

Sadly, scientists at HHS are overwhelmed by DOGE to organize any effective push back to rfk jr.

Sounds like he is volunteering to get injected with some measles first. Also, I’m sorry for that and hope she’s able to stay away from it.
