    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.

        Man I would feel so good getting to laugh at that.

        It would be a guilt free belly kinda laugh that actually makes me feel better.

        Knowing how much pain he was feeling and how miserable he is would literally make my stress level go down.

    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?

      Copying and pasting everything Chat GPT output was a choice. Perhaps not the cleverest one but it’s still a choice.

    Our best chance is that he gets one of these diseases that is effectively treatable with a vaccine.

    Thing is, even with that, he’d just take the vaccine and proceed to lie about it for profit. His father must be turning over in his grave.

        I’ve said all along that these people will ultimately be done in by their own virtuosic incompetence.

        Managing an operation as complex and huge as the US Government by traitors, incompetents, narcissists, Nazis, drunks, addicts, weirdos, propagandists, and criminals is not sustainable. They will eventually burn their own house down, and we should surround the fire, and when one of them tries to escape, we should catch them, and toss them right back in.

    Like most con men, RFK is using people’s ignorance of what odds mean. If the chance of getting sick from swimming in that water is only say one percent, he knows the odds are extremely good that he won’t individually get sick, and then he will palm this off as “evidence” that it’s all a big fuss over nothing. The park service might know maybe 100,000 people will swim in that water this season, so they’ll probably save about a thousand from getting sick by closing the place. Even if somebody who does get sick manages to get the attention of a news outlet, they can be scoffed at as an anomaly. “How do you even know the water was responsible? Where else have you been? You’re just looking for attention!”

        They won’t kill us all, just the ones dumb enough to believe reverting to the pre-science era to reinforce political beliefs is a good idea.

        Funny enough not even Steve Jobs level money can save you if you prefer alternative treatments over modern medicine. Of course despite your stupidity you end up stealing a liver that actually someone else deserves more because you are stinking rich but even that does not prevent the inevitable.

    Usually the people in charge of regimes like this are often sadistic hypocrites and absolutely know that what they spout is bullshit. RFK jr. here on the other hand, is apparently actually a fucking idiot.

    I love that we’re literally going back in time. They thought we’d have flying cars and end world hunger, but instead we have to watch our politicians swim in shit water.

    Stop calling everyone a “skeptic” and call them what they are: deniers. Anti-science, fact resistant deniers. Calling people germ-theory skeptics, or climate skeptics, or vaccine skeptics, and so on and so on, makes it sound like there’s an honest scientific debate going on

      Exactly. Skepticism is about casting doubt on beliefs and dogmas, not outright rejecting facts. When it comes to germs and vaccines there’s scientific consensus on those matters. They’re as close to facts as you can get. But rejecting those you’re not a skeptic, you’re a denier. There’s no scientific debate on those topics, only a political debate on whether to reject science or not.

            i’m adding, not disagreeing… guess i should’ve said, “yeah comrade, well put, scientists are the real skeptics 🤝”
            but, for the record, i agree with your preceding comment.
            i apologize for lack of clarity 🎩 🤏

      ‘idiots’ is my preferred term. I’m in favor of calling stupid people out again. Too long has stupidity been condoned and even championed ‘He tells it like it is’.

      They are morons and need to be called that unabashedly.

        He’ll be calling himself a ‘gravity-theory sceptic’ next and flinging himself off a building. It’s the only next logical step.

        I honest to God can’t believe how such fucking morons managed to get power. RFK jr. Would have been seen as a bigger crackpot than Alex Jones if he wasn’t RFK’s son.
