You shouldn´t wish anything bad to anyone, but #JFKjr may get #Alzheimers one day himself, that #Moron. Our mom´s mom´d had it, and also my direct neighbour´s wife had it, she passed a few weeks ago from pneumonia, but I live in Germany where #Alzheimers science/research is still supported.
Exactly do not lose sight of what each and every single one of them has done on their own while they're throwing each other under the bus make sure every single one of them taste tire tread
I’m not the one who made thAT asinine comment in response to the post that LITERALLY SAID THAT RFK WAS DEFUNDING ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH.
Speaking of seats, I’m sure there’s one at the kids table. Sit down and learn something 📖 📰 📺
This is why I will pull a Robin Williams if I’m diagnosed with anything. It will be less painful than how our government treats our elderly. This shit bag needs to go
Rfk Jr. is a lying, conspiracy theory spewing, pseudo scientist, who couldn't care less how many people suffer and die due to his irresponsible and entirely self-serving bs. Just ask the 83 Samoans, mostly children, who died of measles after his anti vaccine bs misled them.
He's an ENVIRONMENTAL LAWYER, not a doctor. From what I've heard many of the Felon's judicial appointees have an "unqualified" rating from the American Bar Association as well. If nothing else this shows we need to codify minimum requirements for these positions so that this can't happen again.
Yes. He pretends to be scientifically knowledgeable, hence "pseudo scientist" when talking about vaccines, etc. Most of it is just conspiracy theories, debunked myths, & utter bs. Agree there needs to be minimum requirements. Obviously, the Senate confirmation process is completely political & bogus
He's one of the most dangerous cabinet members of trump's admin. He's going to get a lot of people killed because he doesn't know what he's doing. He had no business being nominated for the job, but trump had to do something with him when he bowed out of the presidential race. Why secretary of HHS?
You probably won't. Even if u people get another ejection and turn it around, who would do the work? Knowing that any election in the future, the same,mad people may be reelected? Research takes decades sometimes, these brilliant people will move elsewhere.
And I wouldn't blame them.
But, really, don't get all my hopes up at once. Those of us ("you people") who are paying attention here really are having a great time.
I’m sure there’ll be plenty of institutions outside the US ready to carry on the work. If you’re really lucky they may even sell you the drugs when they happen.
Trump told him to trump said why waste all of the money when these people don’t know where they are this is what you’re dealing with. It’s surprising that your people don’t notice he is glad it is cut he keeps saying they’re going to die anyway, why waste the money that’s how Trump is. he don’t care
Never mind 20 years. In 30 years when you’ve got no memory, no function, no memory and no one to care for you . Bah it’ll be ok cos you won’t know anyway 😕
"Alzheimer's research extends globally beyond the US, with organizations like Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) and the World Health Organization (WHO) fostering international collaboration and research initiatives." Take heart work is ongoing elsewhere, maybe US specialists could join them?
The US is going to have some serious brain drain due to all these awful policies. We're already seeing an influx of applications from doctors from the US, which will be GREAT for Canada.
Let’s hope so. Question is, will people in the US have access to any treatment that helps? The way things are going, it probably won’t be approved for use in the US.
Trump in the background: “Alzheimer’s? That sounds familiar…did I know somebody with that?” Just your father and older sister, but I’m suuuure you didn’t get it too.
The Felon has a severe developmental disability and should have been institutionalized as a child. Unfortunately his cruel narcissistic parents couldn't deal with the fact they had an imperfect child.
Dude cut off the head of a dead whale, strapped it to the roof of his car and drove home with the whale's bodily fluids running all over the passengers and car interior. And you are now saying he did something irrational? Who would have thought?
And is a killer. Everything Robert Kennedy is doing is either destructive to the health of Americans, or tinkering.
There are only two ways to raise the shameful statistic of US ranking for longevity: 55th in the world. A universal health program, and the alleviation of poverty. Won't happen.
IDK if RFKjr is, Musk definitely is. He doesn't hate his trans daughter because she's trans, he hates her because he paid a lot of money for her to be a boy and she ruined his eugenicist plan to spread his genes out as far as possible. All his kids are sex-selected IVF babies.
A lot of this: cutting Medicaid throws people out of nursing homes. Playing games with Social Security impoverishes the old. It's one thing to have to think about moving your elderly parents into your home when they're still lucid and healthy and entirely different when they need skilled care.
The damage he's doing with his anti-vax nonsense and the cutting of research is monstrous. People are going to suffer and die because of these horrible people and their conspiracies.
Of course that cockwomble would do that. He is truly the stupidest person when it comes to health. But, that's why Drumpf put him in there. Drumpf is stupid and he surrounds himself with stupid people. And now we all have to suffer because of stupid people. 😡
I'm pretty sure he does. He's also severely developmentally challenged. There was a PBS interview once with someone who knew him as a kid, he said the Felon hasn't changed since he was 5. You don't get that way as an adult unless something is seriously wrong.
My mother is the youngest of 4. Her mother and two of her brothers died of it. And now she has dementia too. I'm a little terrified about me. And that would be me and my kid, as he is Gen Z.
I'm pretty sure his father and uncle have disowned him like the rest of the Kennedy family. I've always said he's more mentally unstable than his Aunt Rosemary... after her lobotomy.
Been there with my dad's dementia. My mom was the primary caregiver and I backed her up along with my oldest nephew. She had access to the VA's resources, but bore the weight of his decline. I can't imagine being in that situation with these idiots in charge and worse options.
I went through HELL caring for my mother who had dementia. It was very stressful, and I had little support. It was sad to see her decline, but the movie Momma Mia always cheered her up (and me too). I imagine it will be more stressful for caretakers under this regime.
I think the best we can hope for, for humanity's sake, is that Alzheimer's research goes offshore to where it can be more reliably funded.
I have a parent in the throes of this disease, it's so important to find a way to treat it. I don't have words that express my anger and sorrow about this
George, the young people will
have to emigrate to other
countries.Taking out $7 trillion
over 10 years will destroy the
economy for 20 years
in the middle of their
peak earning years.
Everyone loves their parents,
but if young people don’t
leave, they’ll be unemployed.
Can’t have alzheimers if nobody remembers what it is. Not that diabetes3 has ever really been properly labeled.
But why would they want us to know what the plastic and junk food does to us? Not knowing achieves all the goals of a less unhealthy system, or some bullshit.
None of them believe in artificially extending old age. Too expensive and want to use US tax dollars for other things. They don't revere our elders like India and Japan do.
I know I will have to deal with that. I truly hate this timeline.🥲
We're going through the biggest disillusionment ever. Whatever chance we thought we might have had is rotting..
I didn't want to learn to fight dragons.. Yet here we are, & I'd rather fight than let them have their way.
Be safe tmrrw
No let him see and know and be blamed and know why he is blamed ...and let him become 109 years old with a failing body yet with a clear (by his standards) mind
Unbelievable. I worked in this field for several years and so much progress was being made. It’s important work, all being discarded and erased. It’s even more odd he’s doing this considering dementia runs in Trump’s family.
I would say the dementia in Trump's family is prancing right in front of our faces. Some amalgam of FTD and vascular dementia in the setting of pervasive psychopathy and malignant narcissism.
Haven't kept up with everything since my last neuro course ('10), so tell me if this sounds right:
Alz researchers hit snags & needed better understanding of glia overall + in context, so when breakthrus picked up, the work was both revelatory for all of neuroscience AND held therapeutic promise.
My mom has it. This is devastating for me and for millions of Americans. Now hoping other countries do the research (as we will lose tons of scientists as well).
My mom was just diagnosed. She is still working because she can't afford not to. She just deals with forgetfulness so far. I used to take care of alzheimers patients. It's a horrible disease, and I'm not ready for it, and to top it off, my dad has Parkinsons. I'm in a wheelchair so I'm not going to
I am so sorry. It’s tough. All I can tell you is when they get to the advanced stage, they no longer suffer. They are no longer aware of anything around them.
I’m a Gen X too. I will die at my desk as I won’t be able to retire due to the fact my 401k is now non existent, and healthcare is expensive, and this fuck wit is gutting our healthcare.
And then don't forget, they are also going to be cutting Medicare and Medicaid so actually getting medical care is going to be even harder than it already is. I guess it's okay since none of us will have jobs and we can all stay home to care for our elderly parents
Nasty piece of work is so nice... he's a fkg idiot and a huge, a bigly black eye to the Kennedy legacy...remember he said worms were eating his brain...
Someone should explain the concept of KARMA to rfk (much the “Jr” to his dad). From the looks of things, you will likely benefit personally from advances in dementia research. 🧐
Roberts voted w RATIONAL justices but 5-4 gave trump want he wants - STOP ALL EDU IN RURAL POOR AREAS! White poor Kids must work fields& meat slaughter houses. Not b in school! & scotus pigs AGREE! Gifted
No, I'll remember that my mother, who is obsessively worried about developing Alzheimer's after being care giver to my grandmother who suffered through it for 15 years, voted for Trump.
I'm over letting people off the hook for voting for hateful politics. I'm not caring for self-inflection.
Right? Egads. I'm doing this NOW. Caregiver/POA and chief bottle washer for my aunt with Alzheimers. She was born in 1946. Earliest boomer, diagnosed when she was 74.
Yeah, I went through being my Mom's sole caretaker with dementia during COVID and I've said "this is not an experience I would wish on anybody" but summoning sympathy for the people who enabled this ghoul might be a challenge.
So, WTF is the problem with research on Alzheimers?
I get that he is convinced that vaccines "are bad", but CURING DISEASES?
Why DON'T we want to do that?
The ONLY conclusion is that the MAGA GOAL is to make everyone SICK.
Boomers are mobilized. Most of us are caregivers. Also, mostly gray heads are at the protests and townhalls. Maybe it will mobilize the 36% that didn't vote. Hint: Boomers are not in that group.
Most of the ones that didn't vote did so because Biden-Harris "didn't do enough" to help Gaza. Now the Felon is talking about razing Gaza to the ground and rebuilding it as his own paradise for rich people. Hopefully they see what they did wrong and have learned from it.
No one who has seen someone they love so lost and afraid in their aging years is ok with this. Think of your parent terrified at times and you can’t comfort them because they don’t know who you are. Have lunch with a mother or father who doesn’t know you are their child. This is just so screwed up.
Parkinson's too. Both are horrible, debilitating diseases. Of course, if it happened to his family he'd just stick them in a home somewhere & forget about them.
I am so angry about this. I watched what Parkinson’s did to my grandmother over the course of the 12 years she lived with it. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. This is just cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
I cared for my aunt who raised her last five years with Parkinsons. So heartbreaking to see a vibrant person become barely able to move. Even more so when it doesn't affect their minds.
Thank you. I have good support & she currently lives with one of my brothers. This disease is awful and I pray we discover treatments/cure so others don’t need to suffer
My aunt fell & broke her tailbone when she wasn't so bad, then went downhill rapidly. Drs. said a shock to the body like that can make it happen. We were going to support groups in the beginning & saw all different ways it affects people. Very sad.
My uncle had Alzheimer's. He was 6'4", wife was 5'2".Became convinced she was having affair with her boyfriend she had pre-WWII. They were 88. She finally put in home. I was scared he would hurt her. Call me crying 'cause church had came by & told her she'd burn for it. Told her to find new church.

But at least they didn't cut Alzheimer's research.
You might want to sit down, I've just learned something terrible about our funding.
Speaking of seats, I’m sure there’s one at the kids table. Sit down and learn something 📖 📰 📺

Damage is done. How long will it take us to try to salvage what we can?
But, really, don't get all my hopes up at once. Those of us ("you people") who are paying attention here really are having a great time.
I hope you're wrong and we can attract talent again.

you guys need to get a hold of your government, it's not like you'd let us from the outside come in and arrest your traitors
What are they doing with the money instead is what I want to know.
PET welcomed the draft dodgers with open arms!!

Cruel and toxic idiot.
I don't think RFK Jr. Has to worry much about being elderly..
Hence why he doesn't care about Alzheimer's..

What did people think was going to happen.
Did they think it wasn't going to affect them ?

I sure would've liked Harris's policies that would help us care for ailing parents. Too bad she had an annoying voice/laugh or whatever.

This is monstrous. So unbelievably cruel.
