I feel like using terms like "vaccine skeptic" for these morons is a major PR win for them. It makes it sound way more legitimate than it is. Fuck corporate media sanewashing everything going on politically right now.

Headline later...

90% of people with autism were vaccinated! Vaccines cause autism!

Actual data later

90% of the population is vaccinated. The rate of autism in the 90% and remaining unvaccinated 10% is exactly the same.

They really should review dihydrogen monoxide which is continually pushed by doctors but has a 100% mortality rate! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Goodness me. It's so dangerous it eats away at untreated metal. How could they foist this dangerous mixture onto us. It's worse than micro plastics. I heard estimates that claim it's now found in every living American.... and may even be now found in almost all of our food. Absolutely disgusting.

This is why RFK only drinks methylated paint thinner.

Well that and he confused the methyl-part with methamphetamine.

Don’t do meth. Or methyl alcohol. Both are awful.

methylene blue to be exact, he has been seen in a video, of him using a large dropper of methylene blue on a flight into his drink. he bought into the unsubstantiated reports of it being useful.

With data manipulation you can prove that vaccines cause pigs to fly

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Of course. There are a larger number of vaccinated people who have used a trebuchet than non-vaccinated people, and trebuchets are a great way of helping pigs fly

Being skeptic is not bad. Not seek nor relay on scientific evidences is the problem...

[–] Helvetica@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I feel like I should start wearing a mask again in stores and other crowds, because this administration is going to kill me if I wait for the experts.

ps There are no experts anymore just these anti vaccine loony fuckshits.

I never stopped. And I damn well won't be anytime soon.

A large enough proportion of the populace has deemed it their God Given Right to infect anyone and everyone under the doctrine of "It's Just the Flu, Bro".

I'd just like to caveat that a slim majority of American voters outdid themselves to undo decades of past hard-won progress.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A third of eligible voters didn't vote. The remaining people who did vote were almost evenly split. So, in rough numbers, 1/3rd of American voters put us all in this mess.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (5 children)

No, 2/3rds.

The third-ish that voted for Trump, and the third-ish that didn't vote for Harris.

In other words, the majority of Americans either wanted this government, or didn't care if this was the government.

Mark Geier

Is that the patient 0 of that autism claim? The one that was discredited decades ago (both the person and the claim)?

The biggest problem with him was, he just couldn't admit he had been wrong and continued to spout the bullshit, thus discovering a moderately profitable grift. And now his son is continuing it.
