"It's unclear how the new members will be vetted". Dunked in the nearest lake to determine if they float.

Advocating for higher-quality foods at the same time as the dismantling of the FDA and a return to a pre-Sinclairian Jungle is a recipe for death and disaster.

They absolutely want people and especially children to suffer and die. There is no other explanation.

"Without removing the current members, the current Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028," Kennedy added.

On the other hand, they made a nice clean demarcation point to ignore, disregard, or treat with extreme skepticism anything this committee recommends for the foreseeable future.
The long term damage is going to be a problem. They’ve politicized a committee that under no circumstances should be politicized. They fucking ruin everything.

The human suffering this absolute turd will cause is just about impossible to imagine. I hear there's an open space at CECOT now, and I'd like to make a nomination for who gets to fill it.

I think about my youngest son, then four weeks old, fighting for his life against a brutal RSV infection, having dropped back to his birth weight, too weak even to cry, unable to eat because his body is producing so much mucus that it's filling his stomach.
I think about him in the hospital, with the doctors and nurses gowning up and putting on face shields in what seemed like absurd levels of PPE, a gavage line snaked into his nose and down into his stomach to drip-feed his mother's milk, a CPAP attached to his face and a ventilator nearby in case it suddenly becomes necessary.
I think about the week that he spent there, his mom by his side the entire time. I think about his 17-month-old brother wandering the house looking for him, calling his name, and not understanding where he and mommy are. I think about my inability to explain to such a young person what was happening, and struggling with how to explain what happened to him if the worst came to be.
I was so excited when the RSV vaccine was approved. I don't want anyone to have to go through what my wife and I went through. It's normally a background virus, one of those that passes around the group of illnesses that we call a cold. But sometimes, it turns extraordinarily dangerous. The 2017-2018 season saw twice the normal number of deaths due to RSV, with over 8,000 dead just in hospital records. My son could have been one of them. Many very young kids were.
Damn you, Robert Kennedy, Jr. Damn you to hell. You have besmirched your father's name and have placed and will place hundreds of thousands of people in unnecessary danger. History will see the blood on your hands, and history will not forget you.

Fuck this fucking fucker.
I was so happy when my wife and kids were able to get the covid vaccine, and so happy we were vaccinated for flu this year. I already trusted vaccines, worm for brains.
(Edit, to be clear, I was happy I could get vaccinated, but i was ecstatic when they could.)

"A clean sweep is necessary to [completely undermine] public confidence in vaccine science," Kennedy said in a statement.

Just when I think I've laid down enough wine to get through this administration without sobering up, some new bullshit has me reaching for a cork pull. Give me a break, Bobby.

I'm getting the feeling the brain worm is just steering its host, in an Ophiocordyceps-like situation. That would explain why the official policy is now to root for the pathogens, and not the humans...

Well, we’re dead. And tha’s if we are lucky.
RFKjr is going to unleash a plague of blindness, deafness, paralysis, and assorted other preventable afflictions on the children of America just because science is too difficult for hi to understand (and is full of those pesky smarty-pants who have to be right about everything).
I just hope someone sues him and the rest of his corrupt crew for enabling people to spread disease as easily as they spread misinformation!

Don't be shy, they = The Republican Party.
The Republican Party wants to:
- Starve children
- Allow women to die
- subjugate non-white people
- Push people into poverty
- Allow people to die from disease, pollution, and hatred
- and for a bonus...give tax breaks to very wealthy people
The Republican Party does not care about
- law and order
- family values
- individual rights
- compassion for one's neighbors
Their motto is..
I got mine, fuck you.
That is the Trump republican party.

Don't forget that a certain republican went on record, during a town hall meeting in response to this, by saying "Well everyone's going to die one day anyway". The republicans are a nihilistic death cult that don't care if someone dies sooner or later because "eh we're all going to die anyway". This representative tried to save face later on by sarcastically saying "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said everyone's going to die because some people can't accept that".
So yes, lots of people are going to die, and when we say that, we mean SOON. What's the difference? Several decades, depending on the person.

I have to hand it to RFK. He's figured out what we've been doing wrong all these years.
If sick people were healthy, they wouldn't be sick.
Duh. Get those sick people to a health-a-torium pronto.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
The most egregious comic book villains ever imagined can't hold a candle to the depravity of Kennedy. Given that comic book villainy is the level at which Kennedy operates, I think that he and the brain oozing blithering doddypolls Kennedy hires should wear appropriate uniforms. Here's my suggestion.

By "higher-quality foods" he means lard and raw milk. Good thing he's strengthening the CDC to track the campylobacter and listeria outbreaks.

It's WAY better that people who already have more money than they could possibly spend, have more money, rather than waste public funds on the takers in this society.
It's simple logic, really.
