Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines and pledged to replace them with his own picks.

The 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had been in a state of flux since Kennedy took over. Its first meeting this year had been delayed when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly postponed its February meeting.

If at first you don’t get the answer you want fire everybody running counter to you and hire people not even holding a GED who swear by shooting bleach up your ass.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Okay, wow. He’s an attorney, which means he’s a Juris Doctor, so that’s basically like being a regular doctor. Plus he’s had a ton of parasites, so he gets it.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He just wants the safety of vaccines to be properly researched!* Honest!

*And not by scientists.

[–] GoobyMcMooby@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Let’s give the reins to the guy with no medical degree who did unethical experiments on autistic kids! Doctors shouldn’t be experts! That’s elitism!

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can't wait to see what completly unqualified idiots he appoints to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

Weren't they saying good thing about vaccines a few week ago? After saying they were useless? After saying they were efficient? After saying they caused whatever? After saying they weren't against them? After saying they caused cognitive decline in kids? After saying they did not have an opinion? After saying they would not use them?

If a massive amount of people were not put in harms way by this senile sick idiot, it would be hilarious to make a montage of their interviews flip-flops.

Not at all religious, but the book of Revelation looks more and more prophetic every day...

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

Oddly enough, most of these fanatics either believe it to the letter or use it as a tool to manifest others into doing things in service of it coming true.

All you need for a prophecy to come true is enough people to believe it, apparently

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago

If you think it resembles it at all, it's because the people perpetuating it are literally trying to fulfill it.

[–] person420@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 week ago

There's a term for this. A "self-fulfilling prophecy"

There is a TikTok beauty trend where stupid people are rubbing beef tallow on their faces. Is this why RFK’s face looks like it came out of a fryer?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Behold, the face of health in America:

RFK Jr.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago

He agrees; no one should take health advice from him.

UK's NHS and Health Canada have been my officially trusted sources of health guidance since Feb 2025.

This is amazing. I am so glad we can rip this bandaid off. Now all the yuckles are gonna starve and pass from preventable sickness. Boiling away from short attention spans.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Except urban areas are much more susceptible to contagious diseases, and tend to run blue. This seems to be a calculated attempt to cull urban blue voters.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Blue voters are generally vaccinated

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

That falls apart when vaccines are no longer approved or available

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Against what? No one is vaccinated against the next pandemic, and RFK is making sure Americans never will be.

Rest of the world needs to ban Americans. Who knows what kind of diseases they will be bringing.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The truly sad thing is that Pestilence and his goons halted food and medicines that prevented or suppressed serious diseases in poor countries. This will irreversibly spread HIV, TB, and other terrible diseases like malaria.

Even more worrying, people that used to be fed grains and other food staples from American farmers are no longer getting food shipments. This means American farmers can't sell their crops to the government anymore, and the people who received food are now starving. This encourages instability, war, famine, and worst of all, bushmeat hunting, which can harbor all sorts of endemic diseases. Some have rarely come into contact with people, so they've never made the jump to humans as a host. But the more people hunt wild game, the more and more chances it has to get things just right in order to jump to humans and spread. This is most likely the root cause of HIV and COVID, and there's speculation that Ebola started infecting humans the same way.

This is already a huge problem, and it's only to get worse as climate change makes conditions even more favorable to bacteria, viruses, and most worryingly, fungi, which we don't have many medicines for.

What a gross person. I don't know what's the fucking point of this.

Chaos, destruction. He's one who wants to watch it burn.

I honestly believe they literally get off on abusing vast swathes of humanity. I'll bet Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller jerks off while looking at photos of Nazi death camps. This freak too, probably, or something similar.
