Ars Tribunus Militum
Who to believe? Qualified epidemiologists who've worked at the CDC for decades since gaining their medical degrees? Or an arts major and sometime lawyer with worms for brains who swims in sewage? Choices, choices...
Edit: RFK Jr got over 750,000 votes in 2024, despite pulling out of the race, and who knows how many voted for Trump because of his endorsement. Somehow, as a society, we've got to a place where this, incredibly, is an actual dilemma for some people.

Rats! I was hoping this was open refusal to bend to arbitrary, authoritarian caprice.
That is what's needed: intelligent, committed civil disobedience and refusal to cooperate with arbitrary, authoritarian caprice.
Standing up for democracy & reason, on principle, is likely the only way USA will stave off social and economic collapse (perhaps even civil war).

Maybe we can replace the dead brain worm with a live worm with a degree from Harvard medical school? That way all parties involved could come out ahead -- a Win-Win all around (maybe even for the worm).

I respect users of Comic Sans. They still have a soul and some imagination, and they're likely not MBAs. This guy has neither, and he's a moron.

Thanks, all you Republican House and Senate members, for not having a single vertebra amongst you.
May you catch whatever foul illnesses RFK, Jr. is going to spawn - and may you choke on your own bodily fluids begging for a vaccine that doesn't exist because of your cowardice and stupidity. A pox on all your houses.

I need some help smithing a word or phrase that means "unforced error" but with the raw vehemence of a "clusterfuck". I'm lightly inclined to keep it simple and just go with "unforced clusterfuck" but I feel this misses the opportunity for some real creativity.

Anecdote regarding how my son's pediatrician valued RFK's proclamation: At his physical yesterday afternoon, she recommended SARS/Covid, influenza, and HPV vaccines for him.
He went home with sore arms.

Don't you dare bug me!
Smack-Fu Master, in training
His 'report' was based on AI non-existent studies. Strangely enough.
Not sure if I can give a link but here it is:
https://cybernews.com/news/white-house-health-report-ai-hallucinations/
And here is the title just in case:
AI at play? White House health report cited non-existent studies

An appropriate comment for this entire administration, and a lot more.
Is this the "great filter" Elon keeps talking about?

I think people are confusing cause and effect here.
The AI nonexistent studies were quite clearly based on RFK Jr's rough draft -- or more likely on the outline -- of the report.

hmm you know there's an interesting libel case to be made for the real researchers having their names associated with these AI hallucinations

Comic Sans might be more appropriate for anything coming out of this administration.

That's not what he said, so please stop lying and spreading misinformation. Here's the quote from the CBS interview.
"The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID, we're still doing a lot of work on it, but the pandemic is over."
Notice, he did not say it was no longer an issue. Please rinse your brain out with bleach after watching Fox News and then coming here to comment.

Why? We aren't laughing.
At least, not because it's funny. ('Hysteria' is not the same as 'humor'.)

Get while the gettin's good. If the "every accusation is a confession" pattern holds true, the vaccines next year will make frogs gay and implant a tracker in you.

I was more thinking "sans comédie", you're right. Not sure there's a good font for stuff that's all spite, with a solid sprinkling of AI generated nonsense (tariff rates set with idiotic formula, health care advisories with non-existing references, etc.)
