— RFK Jr.

Trump just tapped this man to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

To the next generation of American children, I'm sorry we let this happen.

Could this potentially have a similar effect to covid where a majority of the people dying were conservatives ignoring basic health advice?

Of course the fallout will sadly still impact everybody

alexbhann.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yet polio has almost been eradicated because of vaccines and the only side effect is people living better lives.

Thinning the herd as is their way/goal.

I feel like this is the bad timeline ngl

MAGA should be sorry they let this happen.

Trump only picks the dumbest people

willyjay60.bsky.social•106 days ago

How can a grown man who 100% had numerous vaccines growing up in school, along with 100’s of millions of the rest of us, that helped eradicate deadly diseases, now think they are harmful? And how is that guy going to be head of HHS? It was the worst of times…

Welcome back to all the diseases! We sure have missed you

Jeebus, what can possibly go wrong?

Absolute bloody madness…

This is madness 🙈

justinwier.bsky.social•106 days ago

Dunno what’s worse. This appointment, or seeing Jared Polis praise it.

Someone's gotta teach these kindergartners some lessons about life /s

Doctor Wormbrain in the house! I don't know who's worse, this crackpot or Attorney General Quagmire.

I don’t think his brain-eating worm is really dead.

Before the polio vaccine, polio was a major cause of disability and death in children.
Polio was the world's most feared disease
USA,16,000 cases a year in the 20th century.
Fatality rates
Fatality ratio 2%-5% kids
Up to 15% to 30% for adolescents and adults
25% to 75% with bulbar involvement

Bring back polio

Make Polio Great Again

Jesus Christ.

What’s next? MTG for Secretary of Education?

sasbug.bsky.social•105 days ago

No they’re doing away with the dept of education. Why would anyone agree to this. What if you change states and the curriculum isn’t the same? That’s a very basic question but nobody will answer it

chacha21girl.bsky.social•105 days ago

Boebert got that one...🤣🤣🤣

paradiddletriplets.bsky.social•105 days ago

This is gonna cull the herd, bigly.

mrjesse91.bsky.social•106 days ago

I’m against mandates, but I’m personally very pro-vaccine. RFK Jr. isn’t going to stop me from getting the vaccines my primary care provider recommends.

gobblervt-aspeca.bsky.social•106 days ago

But will insurance still cover them if they are no longer deemed preventive medicine? 🤔🤔

mrjesse91.bsky.social•106 days ago

I would think so. Vaccines are cheaper than treatment of the diseases they help prevent and mitigate.

gobblervt-aspeca.bsky.social•106 days ago

I hope you’re right!

azchick2.bsky.social•106 days ago

All this will yield us is a return of polio and a bunch of dead, little kids. WTF

excedra.bsky.social•106 days ago

It's so frustrating that the entire rightwing movement in this country is a massive Motte and Bailey where they say insane shit 24/7 like this to get their conspiracy theorist or racist base pumped up and then use their media ecosystem to present themselves as just "the party that wants cheap eggs."

sasbug.bsky.social•105 days ago

I understand most of this and I despise MAGA people too but we cannot continue to claim racism. We have to be better and how are they racist when so many POC voted for this?

excedra.bsky.social•105 days ago

I actually wasn't trying to say they're all racist or conspiracy theorists. I was saying Trump says stuff that racist/insane people love, which energizes them to vote, while conservative media polishes his message to voters, which is why so many POC voted for him. Hence why it's a Motte and Bailey.

comgordon.bsky.social•106 days ago

WE didn’t. Unprincipled MAGA dipshits and online leftists who convinced their fans that both Harris and Trump are just as bad are who to blame. We saw the writing on the wall. Never let them forget it

laek912.bsky.social•106 days ago

We are doomed!

This just has me sent today. It’s like that dipshit keeps asking himself: who would be the absolute worst candidate for this position? Or: Who would piss off the left the most?
He’s not even remotely serious with any of these picks.
These are the signs of a fascist takeover.
