The Secretary of HEALTH recommends letting a pandemic spread. Think about that for a second.
stand with rfk. americans voted trump twice into office and shows now sign of stopping their brain rott. bird flu is best that can happen. last time the facist leader was in office we had corona globally - lets just hope for a very localised (to the USA) bird flu outbreak to help the imbeciles remember 2020.
I am reminded of the quote "some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make".
Let's not use the word "controversial" when "nobody with any qualifications would ever fucking agree with this" is more accurate. Controversial suggests a lack of consensus.

US: Last Pandemic? Wait, hold my pisswater.
I remember when people laughed at the concept of the immune system being like a muscle, that needs frequent excercise, and with same excercise it could be built back.
Good times.
Nowadays I wonder when will people shoot each other with increasingly higher caliber bullets to build up immunity to bullets.
I eat one credit card a day to build immunity to capitalism
He can go first. Go ahead Bobby, show us how easy it is.
