America is a stupid country

Oh my, who would have guessed that... MAGA is smiling!

When do we sue these fucking clowns? They are actively approving measures that we know will have fatal results. How is this not stoppable?

Our HHS Secretary has the makings of a mass killer.

k-rad.bsky.social•6 days ago

He already is one.

Call it a guarantee of failure for the next administration in case Democrats get back in power.

markwhittier.bsky.social•6 days ago

Dr. Durbin is spot on. HHS Sec. RFK Jr.'s attempt to MAHA by cancelling/firing vaccine experts will do generational harm, as he undermines decades of research, but leaves him with no accountability. He's polluting the science and then stating: "People need to make their own decisions".

The stupidest fucking people are now in charge, and the dumbest amongst us are lapping up everything they do or say or command.

I’ve never been so ashamed of being an American.

Not possibly, children are dying already as far as I know.

nightmarewaffle.bsky.social•6 days ago

I once heard an anti-vax mom tell another that 'no child ever died of measles because they're lying to us about how dangerous it is'. Turns out the mom she was talking to had an immuno-compromised child that couldn't be vaccinated that died of measles.

Without guidance from CDC, how will we know about new diseases and if pharma companies will even be directed to develop vaccines for them? Our health and safety are being seriously compromised by the criminally insane RFK Jr.

Had enough? Call your legislators at the Congressional Switchboard 202 224 3121. Here is the letter I sent via @resist.bot. You can send it too or write your own. https://resist.bot/petitions/PTVQDD

My son’s friend just missed 6 months from highschool because of whooping cough. This is nuts

They want to return us to the bad old days of polio and TB? No thanks.

larosalaw.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's grotesque for sure, and does not show the belief in life professed/proclaimed. Innocents of all ages will bear the horrible consequences of these ideas.

philipfrankenfeld.bsky.social•6 days ago

Attacks on science in public health benefit the attacks on all science. And bring less public protection governance for the fossil fuel industry.

RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign attracted contributions from all industries concerned with a structuralist assault on all science, governance.

Parents & potential parents: coughing so hard that your muscles break your ribs in spasm is a horrible way to live & die. Can't stand to be "the bad guy" for a few seconds during a needle jab?
U just don't have what it takes to make decisions for another human who is dependent on you 4 their safety😳

helluvastorm.bsky.social•6 days ago

Every parent who chooses to harm their child by not getting this vaccine should be forced to sit at the hospital bedside of a child with pertussis. It’s horrible

hongito.bsky.social•6 days ago

This was baked in from Covid red pilling, this was going to be a problem regardless of Trump, although obviously not helping.

They haven't been in office long enough to measure their effect yet.

booksnpie.bsky.social•6 days ago

Guess that’s the GOP way to curb population growth. Odd approach for the Party that purports to be pro life. Oh wait - those kids are no longer in the womb, so they don’t count.

elimuann.bsky.social•6 days ago

It would also appear that this policy will disproportionately affect the families of their core voters in red states? 🤪

Death and suffering is what this regime wants. It's showing in all their policies that this is their inhuman goal.

In the past 6 months, 2 infants in KY have died from whooping cough. Neither they nor their mothers were vaccinated.

These anti-vax retards need to lose a few more kids to feel the consequences of their decisions. I have sympathy for the kids, but ZERO for the parents.

stickywicket58.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is what happens when you put a heroin addict in charge of the nation's health.

santamikeydm.bsky.social•6 days ago

I had whooping cough recently. A couple months ago, before i got covid. I didnt think adults could get it. Get vaxxed. Im not always the brightest crayon in the kitchen, but itd have been a lot worse if i wasnt vaxxed

dipradan.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hopefully the children that die are the children of anti-Vaxxers.

nightmarewaffle.bsky.social•6 days ago

The children did not choose to not be vaccinated. What a horrible thing to say. From experience, a lot of them suffered so much from the lack of adequate medical care as kids that they get vaccinated the second they turn 18. It was their parents that failed them and they're all innocent victims.

dipradan.bsky.social•6 days ago

In the case I'm talking about, the children are dead, and past the point of caring. I just want the people who are left behind and suffering to be the anti-vaxxers, because they are the ones who caused this nightmare.

nightmarewaffle.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's still really disturbing to basically wish death on children regardless. Children are going to die, and it's really fucked up to say, "Hope it's theirs and not mine!" out loud.

dipradan.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm not wishing death on them you incredibly stupid MF. But kids do die, and I'd much rather it happen to the children of Anti-Vaxxers, so they can contemplate how they killed their kids, and maybe learn something.

So, to sum up, go fuck yourself while I mute your dumb ass.

nightmarewaffle.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wow. You seem like an extremely pleasant person to be around.
