ROFL What is this worm driven host doing?! Doesn't the worm know that E. Coli infections can be deadly for the elderly? (Yes, I am being super facetious because reading about a Germ Theory Skeptic in the modern age has effectively broken my brain. The evidence that proves microorganisms like bacteria, parasites, and viruses are real is truly a massive amount. That's a lot of knowledge that this dumb, incompetent human being is simply ignoring). Ugh, this wasn't on my bingo card for this month. A small part of me hopes that E. Coli proves to him that germ theory isn't something that can be dismissed, and he dies from his foolishness.

It is crazy that the director of health services doesn't believe in germ theory. I don't care what your political beliefs are but the health secretary should have some medical background.

He's not there because of his qualifications, but his allegiance to tRump. Same with all of his picks. It's all calculated so when they pull the noose tight no one will be able to stop 'em!

That man deserves dysentery

If there's any upside to this man being an idiot by 14th century standards it's that he's more likely to get deathly ill.

Steve-O can't compete with this man

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Steve was admittedly stuffed to the gills with booze and every drug available, and still is somehow more reasonable than this clown

O... Ok! The situation in taking care of itself.

One day is no big deal. If he really wants to make his point, he should do it every day for a month.

(Leave the grandkids at home, though.)

I can be a big deal if it gets in your nose and other areas

Fucker probably found the least contaminated part for this stunt.

I wonder why he says we should fortify our immune system if he doesn't think germs cause diseases? Like, what is the immune system doing making cells that can eat bacteria?

He's the septic skeptic.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ok so what is the most obvious, unhide-able , agonizing, and debilitating disease he can get from this?

Because I hope he gets 330 million cases of it.

Don't worry, he put a spiritual spin on it (probably) so it's ok, it's actually cleansing you see!

The germaphobia in me is trying to figure out this thought process... 🤔🧐

[–] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

RFK Jr doesn't have a "thought process."
