Except that the antivaxxers are in charge of the budget for pandemic preparedness.

So they're not just putting their heads in the sand, they're forcing our heads in the sand too

The hottest illegal drug of 2025 will be black-market vaccines. Some will work, some will be placebos or worse (as happens when a supply chain is taken over by organised crime). The DEA will announce record-breaking seizures of “dangerous experimental drugs” from China. Those who can afford to will fly across the Atlantic to a country with walk-in vaccinations for noncitizens.

Lol (but more seriously I think that black market self administered injections would be too scary for the average person)

My first thought was that it 100% depends on how scary the disease you're trying to treat is.

And then I remembered some folks were chugging horse dewormer during COVID and I'm not so sure anymore.

This exactly. I'm not worried about them. I'm worried as to whether I'll be able to survive without a vaccine.

That RFK will likely block. That Dr. Oz will likely prevent any study on.

We're entering fascism folks. Hold on to your butts.

Vaccines notwithstanding, I'm also worried about whether our food supply will be safe from their malarkey.

Good luck surviving tainted food supply chains with Commander Snake Oil and Captain Road Kill running things.

Stuff like this is going to lead people like me to either raise my own food or buy as local as possible. Because all the safety nets will be cut and you won't be able to trust the government to do their job.

Which is exactly what they want. They want people to be as afraid of the government as they are.

Doubtful, major pharma brands made a killing, they may be weird business monsters but they are still business monsters and will bend to the dollar.

More than business monsters, they're ego monsters.
