RFK Jr., a man vaccinated against the measles, says your kids should get measles.

If I'm not mistaken parts of the SF Bay Area had measles parties like 10-15 years ago when the anti-vaxx thing was really becoming trendy. Parents would take their kids to try to get them infected. It's as stupid today as it was before. Fuck these people.

they had to put a stop to that quick. people dont have measles party for a reason, and usually only occurs for chickenpox anyways. both cpox and measles is quite severe to adults.

Yes, it was a big thing with public health officials and doctors saying that measles were not like chickenpox but that's how people in Marin were treating it.

People who intentionally infect their children with deadly pathogens and assist in spreading disease should face criminal charges.

Measles is a gift from grandpa nurgle. Take it in! -RFK probably

What a fucking moron.

If there were only a way to introduce everyone to the virus with no risk of suffering the symptoms of the disease. Wouldn’t that be amazing?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Measles would be even more catastrophic.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

He should be the first

He should get it first, would be a shame if he died and it would scare people into action.

Let's end drunk driving by making it legal and actually forcing everyone to drunk drive. Nobody left to drunk drive if everyone's dead

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

If only we could give everyone the illness, but like without all the death or lifelong damage it causes...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So we're up to literally demented individuals trying to kill us all being in charge.
