You can’t panic if you’re unaware of impending death. It’s the structural purpose behind the chutes designed by Temple Grandin for cows entering the slaughter facility.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, RFK Jr is the Horseman Pestilence.

The brain worm guy wants to cut funding for Ebola? How dumb are these people. Basically they want to kill us all.

RFK can be a test case for how vitamins and horse paste cure ebola.

Here we go. Another “oops, we didn’t mean to do that” moment? I hope so.

This fucking regime needs to be stopped. One way or another.

Anybody ask why?

Let the bloodletting begin. 🤬🤬🤬

They are practically destroying the country intentionally! Why?

If Trump worked for a foreign adversary, what would he be doing different??

Tell me...what?!

Evil monsters don't even begin to describe the moral depravity and cruelty of the Trump administration.

It’s really frightening. So the authors of P2025 have decided that there should be no government intervention to protect its citizens. ZERO NONE! Every person is on their own. (except the white Christian nationalists)

So he doesn't want vaccines because he's an idiot who thinks they cause autism.

Does he think disease in general isn't real? What's the reasoning here?

wintersong.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I know you're being somewhat rhetorical here, but it's important to remember that RFK Jr doesn't accept the Germ Theory of Disease and in fact, has expressed support for the discredited Miasma Theory of Disease, which hasn't been accepted science since the 19th Century

cnep.bsky.social•6 hours ago

So yeah, he doesn't think it's real

wintersong.bsky.social•6 hours ago

As absurd as it is to say that the U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services in 2025 doesn't fully believe in germs, instead preferring a discredited theory of disease dating back to Ancient Greece, that seems to be where we're at.

This is dangerous a form of #censorship! #Researchers , submit a testimonial about the impact of censorship on your work! We are including these in a toolkit for contacting elected officials, to help individuals make a strong case to demand an intervention! https://defendresearch.org #DefendResearch

What could go wrong?

There were only four BioSafety Level-4 labs in the United States. One less now. These things do not just pop-up when needed, so let's hope we don't have an emergency, because 'hope' is always such a good plan for the future.

yeah, no monitoring over seas, no doctors doing the work, no funds to research this nasty disease and others. What do we know for certain? These pathogens can not be contained through prayer.

vikeswin.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Termination of research at the IRF not only disrupts critical scientific work but also reflects a broader trend of diminishing support for public health infrastructure, with potential long-term consequences for disease preparedness and response. Trump is bent on destroying public health

All because wearing a mask would have mussed up his shitty combover.
