I’ve been expecting these newsisms to die for like 10 years now. It’s begun to infect my own speech. Blast, slam, it feels like I’m reading headlines written for attention addled children. RFK is definitely going to kill millions, but all I can think about is this ridiculous verbiage.
These kinds of headlines don't attract nor satisfy ADHD people any better than normal people, it is just lazy headline writing.
No, RFK will not kill millions. Millions choosing to listen to that idiot will kill millions.
No, I'm not going to take medical advice from Kid Rock, either.
So when the government ceases to subsidies vaccines for children how are you going to afford to get your kids vaccinated?
When the number of vaccinated people falls below the herd immunity point how are you going to afford to be treated for viral infections that will sweep through the population, that you'll have no idea are there because the CDC has been destroyed.
And when you and your loved ones get a particular cancer and you discover that RFK killed off the NIH grant to research and develop treatments, what will you do then?
Shit my mother died because they weren't accepting any more people into the RNA anti cancer treatment trial for her particular type of cancer (because of inadequate funding).
Pretty sure vaccination will have to take priority over sports team tickets.
Again, 70 million people voted for this and another 60 million didn't vote at all. It takes a nation to build a shit hole.
I’m not sure what you mean. He’s the secretary of health and human services, not an influencer. He’s not suggesting people do anything, he’s steering and enforcing actions through agencies that he has sway over.
