“You’ll never believe it, Mr Kennedy. According to our data, vaccines causes cancer”, he says, smiling. “Once we increased our vaccination rates, cancer became a major cause of death within 15 years. I suspect that far fewer people will die of cancer, if we simply roll our policies back
And more people will die of polio, measles, mumps, and other preventable diseases BEFORE they have the chance to die from cancer!
"Name one person that died of cancer who never received a vaccine for anything. That's what I thought!"
F cancer.
Not that way...
There's no such thing as a "vaccine skeptic".
Skeptic implies that they could have their opinion swayed if presented with evidence. The fact that they're still "skeptical" despite literal mountains of evidence shows that they only call themselves "skeptics" because it makes them sound reasonable, when in reality if they could have been swayed by reason they would have changed their minds a long time ago.
they try to downplay anti-vaxxers, thats what they really are, this include vaccine hesitency.
Any paper showing Vaccines don't cause Autism is immediately disregarded as "propaganda from the far left"
They really should review dihydrogen monoxide which is continually pushed by doctors but has a 100% mortality rate! DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Goodness me. It's so dangerous it eats away at untreated metal. How could they foist this dangerous mixture onto us. It's worse than micro plastics. I heard estimates that claim it's now found in every living American.... and may even be now found in almost all of our food. Absolutely disgusting.
This is why RFK only drinks methylated paint thinner.
Well that and he confused the methyl-part with methamphetamine.
Don’t do meth. Or methyl alcohol. Both are awful.
methylene blue to be exact, he has been seen in a video, of him using a large dropper of methylene blue on a flight into his drink. he bought into the unsubstantiated reports of it being useful.
The leading cause of death is life!
If the word "skeptic" in the title actually meant that, this would be a good thing. It's good to be skeptic about everything until you're shown evidence. The problem here is that those folks aren't really skeptic.
Yeah, he's a liar, not a skeptic. He's denying evidence, not demanding it.
WaPo strikes again with a plausibly deniable disinformation title, using the word "skeptic" wrong on purpose. I expect nothing less from Bezos.
Autism isn't a fucking defect
They are less susceptible to propaganda, which authorities figures hate.
These people have co-opted the work "skeptic".
I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god's role in my life, now I'm agnostic.
My parents became "skeptical" of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer "skeptical" but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.
I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find "proof" of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.
They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).
The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their "independent" researchers (crunchy influencers).
🤮
When you're agnostic you're just a closet atheist. It's not that atheists are sure there is no god, we're not, nobody can say that for sure. We can (and do) say, however, that you don't have to worry about made up fairy tale rules, there likely isn't a god. Just be a nice person and you'll be fine.
I feel like using terms like "vaccine skeptic" for these morons is a major PR win for them. It makes it sound way more legitimate than it is. Fuck corporate media sanewashing everything going on politically right now.
I feel like I should start wearing a mask again in stores and other crowds, because this administration is going to kill me if I wait for the experts.
ps There are no experts anymore just these anti vaccine loony fuckshits.
I never stopped. And I damn well won't be anytime soon.
A large enough proportion of the populace has deemed it their God Given Right to infect anyone and everyone under the doctrine of "It's Just the Flu, Bro".
I'd just like to caveat that a slim majority of American voters outdid themselves to undo decades of past hard-won progress.
A third of eligible voters didn't vote. The remaining people who did vote were almost evenly split. So, in rough numbers, 1/3rd of American voters put us all in this mess.
No, 2/3rds.
The third-ish that voted for Trump, and the third-ish that didn't vote for Harris.
In other words, the majority of Americans either wanted this government, or didn't care if this was the government.
a slim majority
Not even that. The majority of voters, 50.2%, voted for Harris or third party.
And how many eligible voters didn't bother to vote? They're also equally responsible for this.
All because of one debunked research paper fuck long ago. Damn did that do so much damage
Wouldn't that involve them causing autism to prove it does?
"I'm autistic because I was a test subject for a government op..."
bruh...
Honestly there is an even darker side to this.
There are parents who would rather see there kid die from a preventable disease than have Autism.
Plot twist: they scale up the study nationwide, offering free flu vaccines to anyone who "volunteers" for the study as long as they take an autism test before and after.
There was never a link to begin with. Never.
*denialist
"LET'S FIGURE OUT AND CURE AUTISM" they say as if a considerable amount of humanity's greatest inventions/discoveries aren't accredited to people across the spectrum.
Mark Geier
Is that the patient 0 of that autism claim? The one that was discredited decades ago (both the person and the claim)?
The biggest problem with him was, he just couldn't admit he had been wrong and continued to spout the bullshit, thus discovering a moderately profitable grift. And now his son is continuing it.
Someone please create a AI video of a debate with Trump about vaccines, where he gets dunked.
If they don't play fair, we don't have to either.
Headline later...
90% of people with autism were vaccinated! Vaccines cause autism!
Actual data later
90% of the population is vaccinated. The rate of autism in the 90% and remaining unvaccinated 10% is exactly the same.
pro-worm but agaisnt vaccines.
Being skeptic is not bad. Not seek nor relay on scientific evidences is the problem...
