My spanish teacher in middle school had a limp from polio in her childhood and kids would snicker about it behind her back. We have no concept of what polio is anymore
Kennedy is an imminent threat to the health and safety of our children. I wish the worm would finish the job.
Indeed, Kennedy is a fuck nut.
Just concentrate on the corn syrup you idiot. Pretty much everyone is on board with that.
That industry will just buy out every room in every Trump hotel for a week and Trump will tell him to suit the fuck up or fire him and hire Joe Exotic.
And the legalization of weed.
yes. its amazing but there is a small nugget of win in some of their stuff.
You’d think they’re already murdering enough of us with the expensive/delayed/denied healthcare, the starvation wages, the cruel for-profit prisons, the cops, and the refusal to give even emergency abortions…but nope…they want to murder more of us.

RFK Jr is the virus. Luigi is the vaccine.
What the fuck my grandpa had a skinny leg and a hole in his back from medical tubes due to polio as a kid, this shit is no joke
Seriously. I’ve said this before here, but travel somewhere the polio vaccine wasn’t widely available. The amount of suffering via deformity and impacted development it causes is frightening.
In case it’s not clear enough, successful revocation means NOBODY can get the vaccine.
I’m fucking moving to Canada if this happens. This is one of the best vaccines ever made.
Ah, a classic move by “the party of personal freedoms”.
Wait it even the wealthy? Wonder how many wealthy babies need to suffer before the poors can get their world back.
None. The wealthy can just take a trip to another country if it comes to that.
I mean once you have polio no amount of leisurely travel will cure you…?
Rules for thee, not the wealthy.
Fuck this idiot piece of shit. Hasn’t even started and I’m so sick of this nation again.
Seriously. I’m going to be the most bitter and continuously angry person you’ve ever met by the end of this four years, and I’m not looking forward to it one bit.
Make no mistake though, I’m going to be so free with “aren’t you glad this is what you voted for” to magas in my family and at work that the schadenfreude alone will be enough to power a small city.
Don’t worry, they may only get two years, but the damage they can deal will probably last the rest of your life. And if you’re transgender, the rest of your life might even be done before the two years are up.
I feel like my “being able to tolerate living in a nation led by imbeciles” meter had barely started refilling this past four years. I think I needed 16 or so for something close to a full recharge. I’m prepared to reach new lows.
“No-one even really gets polio anymore, so it’s just a waste of money…”
Just have polio partys for children so that they can catch it early and be protected!
Holy shit did he really say this??
This is the kind of argument you see from the dipshit vaccine denialists, though. But typically, they like to credit modern septic systems/clean water for a lot of things.
I think it’s really only maybe (younger) boomers and on down that could make the absolutely ridiculous arguments the vaccine denialists make, though. Most of the older people - esp Greatest Generation, but also older boomers, most likely - knew better from having seen children die/suffer from awful diseases.
But yeah, starting with Gen X and on down - the dumbassery around vaccines has slowly started taking off and seems to be getting worse as it goes…
No
Yeah, that’s something Trump would say.
Buckle up for the next NYT headline:
RFK Jr is the real vaccination-class hero, not experienced nurses and doctors and hundreds of years of medical science
RFK Jr acknowledges health care system is flawed.
“RFK Jr: an iconoclast set to shake up a complacent public health establishment.”
“If progressives truly want to bring the surge of polio deaths in the United States to an end they will have to learn to be nicer to our wealthy friends.”
I hate that I wish such terrible things on these terrible people.
This administration is going to ruin the lives of/kill so many people.
The upside of Covid is that we jump-started vaccine research and have seen so much stuff at scale, and quickly. It might hold huge promise for things like cancer treatment.
And these absolute fucking clowns are going to probably stall all that out. I sure hope other countries are not impacted in any way by this complete idiocy. The idea that complete morons would kill scientific progress like this is infuriating.
Hopefully someone just leaks all of the mRNA technical info so that other countries can make them.
Luckily the US isn’t the only country doing medical research.
My dads best friend had polio as a child. He still found a wife and had two wonderful children and a fulfilled life. Just because your legs are crippled, you need leg braces, special shoes and a wheelchair doesn’t mean you can’t have a great life!

This is a world-laughs-at-you, history-book-making, memes-for-a-century level headline.
America thinks it’s The Federation but really it’s the result of a torrid affair between the Ferengi and the
SamaritansPakleds.
Have a nice day, America. This guy was clearly out of reach.
Edit: goofed
The episode of Star Trek: TNG is called “Samaritan Snare”. The race is called the Pakleds.
We are Pakleds. Our ship is the Mondor. It is broken.
Right. In that episode, Pakleds were snaring the Samaritans. Basically grifting their way through the universe by taking advantage of good Samaritans. OP is still not quite nailing it.
OP is communicating using the shared experience of art. They’re certainly our neighbor, just as the good Samaritan was to the beaten Jew :)
Ferrengi and Pakleds, but yeah
