Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Finally this loser advocates for something I don't like.
Read what a lot of you are saying in this thread about "rare W" and the like and realize this poignant saying...
"You can't only piss in one PART of the pool"
You won't get just the one thing you want from RFK, you'll get it all - Stop taking the bait, dipshits. This is the candy he's trying to give you while sliding down your pants with the other hand and slathering coconut oil on your b-hole.
Trump won, so the US will get a pissed pool no matter what.
To say “rare w” isn't to deny that, it's acknowledging that even though the pool is absolutely disgusting with 80% piss, at least that'll help some people with skin conditions.
Yep that's basically it. "Rare W" is not an endorsement, it's pretty much the opposite : recognizing that an otherwise terrible person/organization did something good or made a good point for once.
He's a weird mix of "cannot be allowed near the job" and great ideas.
Well, two. This and getting the stigma off of psychedelics.
Nothing's worth having an anti-vaxxer in charge, though. Not even close.
You forgot his third one, he supports stem cell research, which is odd given that his new buddies don't approve of creating new sources of stem cells (aborted fetal tissue).
Well, IVF is still legal for the time being.
And fun fact! Depending on the facility, if there's any unused fertilized eggs left the woman/couple can decide to donate them to medical stem cell research facilities.

There are fools who believe that Big Pharma won't take over Big Supplement (and the ads will be for supplements).
I wonder if that ban includes quack remedies?
I guess the worm didn't eat all of it.
Rare RFK W.
The other was avoiding processed foods. I'm guessing he won't be allowed to implement that either when his boss gets a wheelbarrow full of cash from the McClown.
There's a shot of RFK and the rest of the Dream Team holding a Big Mac somewhere and he genuinely looks like they've asked him to pose with a freshly laid dog turd.
Trump is smiling in the picture like he just made his new stooge pose with a dog turd
RFK just looks terrible in every picture I've seen
Seriously, he gives me major whiplash. Like 90% of his opinions are pure bullshit, but I often agree with the remainder.
He also left the dead carcas of a bear in Central Park.
He also drove over 300 miles to cut the head off a beached whale and bring it home.
RFK does a lot of strange things, and i don't think it was 100% the brain worm either.
Yes, that would be good, but let's be real here, this is basically a statement that says "hey big pharma, I'm not getting enough campaign contributions!! Get off your ass and give me some cash!" - Trump
This will NEVER get passed in a Trump administration. It's all window dressing on a big pile of streaming shit.
RFK doesn't mind annoying the corporatocracy..
Most of what RFK proposes or wants to propose would impact the bottom line of big pharma.
You think they're going to allow that?
Never fuck with the money.
I seem many bad things being said, and some hopeful things mixed in. I'm just waiting until it's all said and done to assess the outcome.
Ooh, anything else about him worth mentioning?
"Man wants to spend time socializing with children and giving them gifts" is an odd lead in for "unapologetic child molester stalks local park"
Nearly all countries do this. Even the regressive ones. It's one of the biggest reasons why pharma is a massive cash cow in the US, alongside the fact that we don't negotiate drug prices aside from a handful of drugs and only medicare/medicaid and only the past <4 years or so.
Honestly kind of weird, you would expect him to allow literally anybody to advertise their drugs from his usual deregulatory stance.
Heh, he's crazy as all get-out, but I agree with getting drug ads away from the uneducated public. If an ad has to have "ask your doctor about", it shouldn't exist anywhere, not just TV.
He just wants this one to de-educate people on the existence of drugs in general, but honestly, if you need to see a doctor to talk about them/get them, they don't need advertising in the first place. It does open up a bigger discussion on knowledge about the availability of pharmaceutical treatments, though, since some people probably ask their doctors about symptom treatment based on ads. It's purely reactive and the wrong way to take care of your health, but, I won't ignore the obviously systematic issues with access to affordable healthcare for proactive care, vs. "make this hurting stop" care.
For as many foolish things Kennedy has talked about wanting to institute, a drug ad ban is not one of them. Kinda awesome, actually.
It's fucking weird how this motherfucker is against vaccines, for raw milk, but also wants to do things that actually would be good, as well, like this. That worm really did a number on him...
Fishing for bribes imo.
Ads, yes. Class action legal ads for pharmasutical side effects/injury can stay. Do your testing ya smucks.
