The biggest public health issue we are facing is human stupidity.
The stupidity of many American citizens is a direct threat to our safety and well being.
These people want death. They are death worshippers.
Fascism is a death cult.
Truly, best I can tell, death is seen as the solution to many problems rather than, you know, solutions.
Past addiction?
that worm knew how to party.
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

This is the same man who once sawed the head off of a whale, strapped it to his roof, then forced his children to endure being rained upon by whale juice.
Just internalize that. This man is in charge of health
The only thing I can agree with him on is that people are eating too much unhealthy shit, and the food industry needs to do better.
Literally everything else out of his mouth is utter lunacy.
I'm sorry, what?
EDIT oh. But also still what?? Why???
Thought to myself, that can’t possibly be true, but then:
Kathleen Kennedy said when she was 6 years old, her dad got word that a dead whale had washed ashore. He got a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head and strapped it to the roof of their minivan for a five-hour drive home.

At least it's not the same guy who dumped a dead bear in Central Park oh wait it totally is!
RFK, like the rest of the oligarchs, cannot appreciate how society allowed him to live his best life.
He just summarily wiped out a large portion of the MAGA voting base in the southeast.
Seriously though....
Past? Have you drug tested him? Does he seem altogether put together?
Drugs? Did someone mention drugs? The white house is teeming with drugs and drug users. RFK Jr is sure to get a little drug splash accidentally, of course. Look, he hates McDonalds but there we was chowing down with Krasnov.
Does anyone know how long Narcan's shelf life is? I have some but I want to know if it is worth stocking up
My understanding is that it's quite long. I saw cited a 90% effectiveness at 30 years.
Used to be 2 years, recently changed to 3. Not sure if that’s due to some ingredient change though, so you’re better going with 2 I’d say. But I’m also an idiot. lol
We are being cleansed. It's pretty obvious isn't it?
Depopulation of the unwanted by those above us.
it's not going to do that though
More opioid users will die. How is that not doing it?
because the growing despair will lead to new opioid users, thus ensuring no depopulation
Unless those opioid users also start breeding like rabbits you'll still see a decline in population.
So I have bad news for you... most of the opioid overdoses I have dealt with have had kids. So now you're getting the republican wet dream in multiple ways: hard times for the family who is left behind to care for the kids, if there is anyone. That means vulnerable kids, fucked up childhoods, and any adult is going to be much more stressed and not have much time on their hands. THAT means the pedophiles and abusers in the republicans can start having more opportunities, either through foster care environments or unattended kids. It means more kids getting into the foster system and getting dumped at 18, desperate for any job they can get, and oh, look,here's a minimum wage job in the mines, timmy, and you can live in this one room shack provided by the company. It means more kids who aren't going to be looked after by parents that encourage them to care about school, and now we have even more uneducated voters to feed into the republican propaganda machine.
It's all knock on effects, and it's not good.
I'm not sure you know how math works.
deeper societal change
Like UBI? Or a reduction in work hours? Or education programs? This jerk won't do any of that.
That sounds like a lot of work when you have the old reliable conservative tactic of pretending the problem doesn’t exist while blaming the ill effects of the not-problem on the personal responsibility of the victims. And their mental health. And other dog whistles that they are lesser subhumans who don’t deserve help.
He somewhat backed UBI when running for president. That idea is probably gone now under Trump but he wasn't against it not to long ago.
