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

In case it's not clear enough, successful revocation means NOBODY can get 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

Just concentrate on the corn syrup you idiot. Pretty much everyone is on board with that.

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.

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!

/s

Kennedy is an imminent threat to the health and safety of our children. I wish the worm would finish the job.

Quick, someone lookup any owners of iron lung manufacturers. It will be one of these schmucks. Always follow the money

"No-one even really gets polio anymore, so it's just a waste of money..."

Fuck this idiot piece of shit. Hasn't even started and I'm so sick of this nation again.

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 ~~Samaritans~~Pakleds.

Have a nice day, America. This guy was clearly out of reach.

Edit: goofed

Maybe they will drag him in court for that one day, for killing Americans in an un-American way, i.e. without bullets.

Let’s see if even Mitch McConnell would confirm this guy given that he had polio. Don’t have much faith though.

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

The brain worms are strong with this one.

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.

It’s like they’re begging us to rise up in revolution.

MALILA!

(Make America Live in Iron Lungs Again)

Should we be making efforts to preserve guidance pages from cdc.gov, or do we trust that Internet Archive will survive through this administration to provide archived copies via wayback machine?

Bitch of it is that we almost drove that virus into irrelevant cycles. I think I read a couple of years ago that the UN believed we could declare victory on the disease by focusing on some suffering African areas. Who knew th at a western country of 300+ million would want to make iron lungs fashionable again? Sorry, Dr. Salk.

According to Wikipedia, wild and fully potent polio is still circulating in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In addition, many developing countries are using live vaccines (weakened strains of polio) which can sometimes regain their ability to spread, even if they don't do much damage.

Polio not gone, it's just waiting for fools to think so - and to prematurely drop their defenses.

I hate that I wish such terrible things on these terrible people.

Reading the headline and it literally made me do the meme:

Indeed, Kennedy is a fuck nut.

I guess it just works too well?

If my kid gets some kind of mutated polio that gets around his vaccine from this shit, I know who will be on a list.

And so it begins...

Edit: ...or ends, depending on the situation.

So idiotic I actually laughed reading that first paragraph.
