When you consider the man making those statements about vaccines, surely you would march right into the nearest vaccination place and ask for one. He is not an intelligent man, I don't care who his daddy is, or what his last name is. He's a numbnut. My husband and I had three shots each during the last outbreak, I will admit each one hit me a bit harder than the previous one, but I never fainted, had a stroke, turned funny shades of purple, or fell thrashing to the ground in agony.

Frankly it's not a issue. People are going to do what they need/want/hope to do, regardless of dire threats. In a way it's like telling someone with shingles, "if you get the shingles shot you gonna die a painful death"...no, you gonna live a lot longer.

Ta, Robyn. Is Bobby Brainworm Junior still welcome at the family compound at Hyannis Port? If so, I recommend he hide out there and go back to shooting smack. At least that way, he'd only be harming himself and not the general populace. If not, he can find somewhere else to hole up and go back to being a junkie.

Remember, friends, at every single protest, organized or disorganized, No Kings, Mayday, 50501, AOT, K, lead your fellow protesters in this chant: Epstein. Epstein! EPstein!! EPSTEIN!!! ad infinitum.

@robyn I don't know if anyone else brought this up, and it could certainly be an autocorrect issue thanks to unwanted AI bot integration into every program known to man, but in paragraph 2 you say "exasperates" when the correct word is "exacerbates". RFKJ is definitely exasperating, but exacerbates is what we use when something is causing something else to be worse 😁

Glad I scrolled; I was about to issue the same loving correction.

I was just wondering where all those gravestones of children under 5 disappeared to after 1955. What could have caused that?

“retraction is warranted only when serious errors invalidate findings or there is documented scientific misconduct, neither of which occurred here.”

That's a nice way of saying stay in your lane, you goddam bozo.

Even if a later, better study contradicted its findings, it still wouldn't be retracted. See also: Spinosaurus

"Spinosaurus swam. No, he was a giant heron. No, he swam too. No, his tail was too stiff..."

That epic saga was/is fun to follow, though.

Gee, it's almost as though there's a reason why *a methodology section* exists in scientific papers.

But why bother when argumentum ex culo is so much more convenient?

RFK, Jr.'s still cool with aluminium in the vaccines, right?

A fine example of a man. An aspirational inspiration. The courage of his convictions -- chasing his dream! And... look at those Huge Pectoral Muscles!

Why does everyone think science, education, and medical doctors know more than a former heroin addict, and brain worm survivor knows?

Turns out scientists won't listen to someone who isn't also a scientist.

BC they recognize that a lack of expertise means someone isn't qualified to comment.

Bobby Brainworm needs to go on trial for practising medicine without a license. Though I'd prefer something simpler, like murder.

Scientists, medical associations, docs and other people who actually know wtf they are talking about can take whatever position they want, but Bobby Brainworm won't care. The problems are that coverage and accessibility of vaccines is linked to National guidelines approved by this lunatic AND he has threatened that health providers who don't follow his rules won't be protected under the "Vaccine Injury Law". If you don't think providers will be worrying about someone suing them for monetary or political gain....well, I would point out all the disasters with women's reproductive care courtesy of the draconian abortion laws.

Remember folks, the ass clown who took his own grandkids swimming in a sewage-polluted creek where swimming had been banned for 50 years because of sewage contamination, is now the one who is in charge of the health and well-being of everyone's children.

How the hell did we get here.

I've wondered the same thing for quite some time...and the answer is, "it ain't over yet...wait till you see the next chapter."
