“The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

If only there was another proven way of doing this without the risk of serious complications of getting sick.

I have a list of who first: him, Musk, Vance and Trump. And don't you dare take anything but vitamines

Man if only we could have measles but like a less deadly version so we could train our bodies to fight the actual thing.

Or what of there was some way to give everyone a tiny dose of the measles so that their immune system can learn it and attack it without even getting sick??
Maybe if they make the virus weakened or figure out some way to deactivate it?
Gosh, someone should work on this. It's a great idea...
- We've got a 100% true-American patriot company willing to do the invovled research, testing, and manufacturing involved in this endeavor, and it will only cost the taxpayers $500 billion dollars.
  Then Predisent Trump can say he's wiped out measles.
  Sign here.
- Sounds satanic. I will contract my diseases the way He intended 😤
- Maybe if they make the virus weakened or figure out some way to deactivate it?
  How will that serve the interests of the eugenicists who believe disease is a powerful tool of ethnic cleansing and of purging people with disabilities?

The measles can wipe out your other immunities! You'd be so much better getting the vaccine.
- But does vaccination have the 'everybody got measles' benefit without the disease's risks? Yes. Yes it does.

What a fucking dimwit.
This guy is dumber than a box of hammers.
- Hey whoa, hammers catching strays. I’m no tradesman myself but hammers are quite useful (when used appropriately) and have a number of uses outside of just driving home nails. Edit*
  <insert Dr. Evil-esque laugh>
  
  They're useful, but you wouldn't ask one to help you with homework/run a government department.
  We could continue testing their similarities by seeing what happens when we use RFK to smash the end of a nail into some wood. For science.

So, soo close to supporting vaccines.

He should lead by example. Get himself and everyone else in the WH sick first.

Ok. You first.

2 doses spaced 28 days apart gives 97% efficacy against ever catching the measles. 1 dose gives 93%. If 95% of the population gets a vaccination the disease is functionally eradicated
But take the words of a Kennedy who spent his youth as an elite committing petty crime, vandalism, theft, and dealing drugs despite having access to extreme wealth. His reward for continually fucking up was a Harvard education and an illustrious law career. Who then started a 15 year heroin and cocaine addiction and by his words kicked it after getting busted for possession the first time in his life (aka the first time he managed to experience a consequence, which took shockingly long). And of course we believe that like all heroin addicts he was able to just kick a decade and a half addiction after one round of rehab through straight willpower, despite have access to connections and some of the deepest pocketbooks in the country
The man has been full of shit since his teens. It is a shame because his family appears to have given him the circumstances to utterly ruin him via consistently giving no consequence for terrible behavior. At the same time I have little sympathy for him because unlike many of us peons who struggle with families that give poor boundaries and no consequences, his artificially removed them because they had access to obscene wealth and privilege. He didn’t have to worry about doing heroin, or assaulting women, or stealing shit. Dad would take care of it. All while living in luxury. Fuck him. I will continue to post defaming his character because people posting “worm in his brain” truly don’t get the extent of how much of a monster he is or the Kennedy dynasty is (look up rosemary kennedy for more Kennedy atrocities)
- Did you listen to the RFK Jr Behind the Bastards episodes? They were fascinating and explain why he is the way he is.
  
  There's so many bastards, I don't know how I could possibly get to all the episodes of that podcast.
  Not to mention when I try to listen I get so enraged I can't continue.
  
  I don’t know what that is but I will search it out

I still can't fathom that the US has a guy who eats roadkill and had a brainworm - the two of which might be connected - as their secretary of health.
- Don’t forget that he’s also from a rich family so he absolutely didn’t need to eat roadkill at any point in his life.
- Sometimes they're capable of not saying the quiet part out loud. If they called him the Secretary of keeping people well enough to work but sick enough to prevent revolt, it would be giving the whole game away
- I can. It's the epitome of America.
  America. Fuck you, I'm eating. - Brainworms.
- Eats roadkill?

I have a young child. I have absolutely ZERO interest in them being harmed by completely ignorant policy. Fuck this guy & fuck this regime.
- The fun part is you can do everything right, and your child can still be harmed because the asshats living near you don't trust science because it makes them feel dumb.
  Isn't that fun? Yippee! What a time to be alive (for now)!

Maybe we could make a weakened form of the virus that would give you immunity without getting you sick? That way everyone could get measles without a lot of people dying.
We could call it “a vaccine.”
- Or we could call it.... (cue pinky to corner of mouth) ... "MINI-MEasles"
- And what if this "weakened form" gives you autism? Have you thought about that?
  Edit: guess this needed a '\s'
  
  Well gee, if that were a possibility, we could do research to see if that was the case, like multiple times, each time showing that it's NOT THE FUCKING CASE. Autism DOES NOT result from measles vaccination.
  The MMR Vaccine and Autism https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6768751/
  Does Vaccination Increase the Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9464417/ Conclusions
  According to our review, there is no link between the development of ASD and immunization. The dramatic increase in the prevalence of ASD created widespread concern. Many theories have been offered to explain the link between vaccination and the development of autism, including changes in immune system function, abnormal organic acid synthesis, mercury toxicity, the effects of gliamorphin on cerebral function, and the link between MMR and autism. However, all these theories remain theoretical, and our review finds no evidence of a link between them and the development of autism. Parents experienced vaccination reluctance following the release of the Wakefield study on the supposed MMR vaccine-autism relationship. It raises concern and challenges vaccine acceptance among parents, leading to the re-emergence of vaccine-preventable diseases. It still raises concern in some parents; we recommend that public health officials continue to advocate and encourage vaccination. The public may require more studies to rule out the association between ASD and vaccination.
  
  Too late
  
  Except it doesn't

It would be better if... Several hundred thousands of people died... Hmmmm

"Never interrupt the enemy when they are making a mistake"
But the rest of you - You might wanna consider a MMR booster, maybe a TDAP while you are at it. We like keeping the good guys around..

We tried this every year up until 1963 and it didnt work

and dying is the cure to everything bad that can happen by living
smh

This is B.S., man. I'm gonna go see Doctor Worm and re-evaluate this merger.
Doctor Worm: "BEEF CHICKEN MALT LICKIN' DADDY'S HEAD BE TICKIN'!"
- Obligatory song

  You rang?

Lead by example, asshole

Hey that’s how immunizations work!
- If only we could get that without actually having to endure symptoms...
- That's crazy talk. Immunizations give you the autism cooties.
  /s in case someone thinks I'm MAGA or something
- Nooo... 😲
  At some point these nitwits are going to a) say that the wheel is woke then b) reinvent it.
- If you survive...

Death cult.

It's hard to believe we're only a couple months into this...

You're just not eating enough carrots, my dude. You got measles due to carrot deficiency.
- The recommended amount of carrots is very reasonable. Only 12 per meal. (no not the baby carrots ha ha)
  
  What if I told you they make baby carrots by cutting down regular carrots? Yeah your world just turned upside down baby.
  It's amazing that Dr Worm isn't even the worst person in power right now. He's in like 5th place

Dear Mr Worm, pls take his other half brain.
- I think that's already happened.

It would be a shame if he got a dart w/ it in his neck. But of course he’s vaxxed
- But of course he’s vaxxed
  That's the worst about this timeline. It's all out in the open, yet people continue to parrot all the grifters' completely open grifts, with conviction. 🤷 Post-truth society.

You first, asshole.

You first

I can't believe we are riding this same rollercoaster again after only 5 years.
- Didn't you hear?! Harris was 100% on board with killing all the Palestinians!
  Even though she wasn't but that doesn't matter because all voting is corrupt and doesn't mean anything.
  
  Harris' policies didn't sufficiently match my personal preferences, so I voted for the guy who hates me.

If there ever was a disqualifying statement for a leadership position...

I agree with Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, that is a good way to exponentially increase his kill count

At the risk of being banned, I hope this guy gets the Mushroom Kingdom treatment. He has the potential to snuff out exponentially more American and global lives than the most bloodthirsty immigration detective or prosecutor.
