"When Kennedy claims that autism is worse than Covid-19 because the latter only kills “old people” and “metabolically healthy” people don’t die from it, or when a Maha associate claims that measles is “an essential rite of passage, immunologically”, you’re hearing the language of soft eugenics.

Don’t let vaccines protect everyone, instead let the infirm and weak be culled so that the strong will survive and perpetuate."

How can we get healthier without healthcare? Kennedy repeatedly puts the onus of disease on diet and lifestyle while minimizing the role of social services and doctors.

Blaming the weak for their own sickness is one half of the coin of soft eugenics. The other is encouraging the perceived strong to procreate more, which brings us to Elon Musk.....His fever dream of a crumbling civilization can only be salvaged when “smart” people pump out more babies.

The interesting part is that intelligence is related to that of your mother..... So only men that pick smart women will create a smart new generation.
