Antivaxxer may do antivax things. Not a huge logical leap. And the article states preventable diseases are already on the rise lately with more people refusing to vaccinate.
Failing to use simple logic. Now that's a slogan, just for you :)
dude the raw milk thing alone is going to skyrocket preventable death and illness. Theres a reason pasteurization exists.
Oh hey, this was your same response to LGBT people being worried about Trump taking office. Meanwhile the Project 2025 crowd is champing at the bit to ban medical transition for adults.
You going to eat crow, or just be glad when it happens?
I think we all know the answer.
Yeah, haha, we definitely shouldn’t extrapolate based on what someone has done and said in the past. That would be silly. And apparently germ theory can’t hurt you if you don’t believe in it
Edit: and if you actually are old, his policies are going to kill your first. So nice knowing you. If it gets you soon enough you might even get a headstone before we all start getting unmarked paupers graves
"Roe v Wade is settled law"
Probably a wilder speculation for him to do a good job.
It's called evidence-based preparation based on the things they literally fucking promised they would do.
For real. We already saw this with the first Trump presidency. An insane amount of speculation and fearmongering about what could happen and then turns out the vast majority of it in-fact did not happen and the people spreading these speculations pay zero reputational cost for being completely wrong. People are so incredibly addicted to drama it's insane.
