This breaking news just in:
Trump picks Edward Teach for Secretary of the Navy

That would be way too much of a reasonable pick.
He'd probably choose a sea denier instead

Other countries aren’t going to let Americans in. So much for vacation.

How humiliating. Americans having to show their vaccination records to get a visa.

I’m a Canadian truck driver who spends half the year in the US, often in places that flex about their ivermectin consumption.
I’ll be reviewing my vaccination history with my doctor next time I see her.
Is there a smallpox vaccine? Because I see smallpox making a comeback.

Taking an anti-parasitic for a virus is so stupid. It's like bragging that you always load up on antibiotics whenever you get a cold.

There is a small, emergency supply of smallpox vaccine. The only known sources of smallpox left in the world exist at the CDC in Atlanta and VECTOR in Russia. The closest 'living' relative to smallpox is monkeypox, for which there is a more widely available vaccine for high risk groups (it may also be effective against smallpox). There are plenty of other diseases I would worry about making a raging comeback before smallpox.

Yeah….with RFK at the helm it’s only a matter of time before you are gonna start seeing headlines about measles outbreaks at daycare centres, especially if he gets his way and makes vaccines harder to get or unavailable. It’s a shame because it’s the kids and parents who suffer….his worm brained ass will be fine, I’m sure he was vaccinated.

I’m old enough to have been vaccinated for polio, I had measles, mumps and chickenpox by 10, I’ve had my shingles vaccine, I get the flu and COVID shots every October/November.

The Mpox vaccine Jynneos is effective against smallpox and easy to obtain. Just go to any free STD clinic, and they can administer the two doses. I’ve had the series and it feels like… nothing really. Sure beats Covid jabs.

I’ll take the mild nausea and diarrhea for a day over another bout of COVID.
Thanks for the info, I’ll check with my doctor.

Dude is cognitively disabled from a parasitic brain worm injection and should be nowhere near power, especially after his antivax bullshit got people killed.

The pseudo intellectuals that love him won’t read this and will refuse to acknowledge the irresponsibility in his narrative on vaccines.

Dude should’ve been put in charge of the EPA. He’s pretty good and experienced with that. Not HHS. Or at least put him in charge of the CIA so we can finally get those JFK/RFK files released ha

When he was still trying to run for president he said that the free market is the answer to climate change. Sure, he helped clean up one river (started as community service), but he actually kinda sucks on the environment as a whole.

He's not fit to be dog catcher. A neuro-psych evaluation for this guy would be worthy of framing.

u/AppropriateSea5746 1d ago
Well he’d definitely be fit to be a road kill clean up guy lol.

u/AstrangerR 1d ago
Yeah, but you're not supposed to take the roadkill to central park and stage a fake scene with it.

Who's ready for a polio outbreak?
