    That’s exactly how a vaccine works you dummy it just uses an inert version of the virus that isn’t as dangerous.

    Looks like it is really hard for onion to make a parody: https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-vows-to-make-measles-deaths-so-common-they-wont-be-upsetting-anymore/

    Edit: and you know what’s crazy? He is advocating that everyone should get measles, because when he was young that was normal.

    His voice is caused by disease called spasmodic dysphonia, which is also linked to childhood measles or mumps:

    It’d be better if you were an obscure and unimportant member of the Kennedy family and stayed that way.

        I heard about him from a Behind the Bastards podcast a few years back. I knew he was a dumpster fire and was really surprised/not surprised he got a position.

        Surprised because he’s an idiot. Not surprised because it’s par for this administration.

    It can be better if only Republicans got measles. They’re the ones that like them right? Why don’t they all get them?

    Thank you so much America and RFK. Vaccines have become contested as scientific fact, and the only way to truly show the world the truth, is to rip away vaccines from a country that has them, and count the dead before and after. Your willingness to sacrifice potentially thousands of American lives to prove your opponents’ point, is almost Christ-like in its self-sacrificial nature, and Trump-like in its mythical level of stupidity and disregard for the value of human life. The rest of the world thanks you for ridding our countries of any traction vaccine skeptics might ever have had. We thank you for your service.

    At what point do we get to demand hazard pay from our employers for going into the office?

    We are in such a crazy timeline.

    This is the kind of shit you’d see on some forum. If the forum was moderated, they’d eventually get booted.

    When I was debating fucking morons like this, I never suspected that one of these assholes would be put in charge of our fucking health. It’s just so insane.

    What if we were to somehow make the virus inert first, and then give it to everyone? Maybe he’s onto something there…

    Oh wait that’s a vaccine

    Not supporting this dude, but I watched the whole video and he never once said it would be better if everyone got measles. Maybe I missed it; if so, please correct me. He mentioned a waning effect with the vaccine vs full-blown infection, which I highly doubt is accurate (I’ll research it later), but that’s a massive stretch to get to the headline. He even recommended vaccines and said they will be available for free to anyone that needs them. I’ve gotten a little lazy in fact checking left leaning stuff because I always felt it was a little more trustworthy. I’m just starting to wonder how much I’ve been blindly accepting because it conforms to my biases.

      Thanks for watching it and writing this. Good to know it’s not as stupid as it’s made out to be.

      I’ve actually got fed up with left-leaning outrage news because any time I check it it’s twisted out of shape or plain wrong. I’m sure there’s plenty the same in right-leaning-outrage-news, I just don’t see it in the first place!

      I wish people who want a world of truth and science wouldn’t lie to get support.

          See, the thing is, I don’t get any right wing news. Maybe I should? So I can lament how bad it is?

        The written article also doesn’t say it would be better if everyone got measles. I listened to the interview long enough to see the article is quoting him accurately and fairly. At least for that.

        Then he spent probably too much time talking about vitamin A, and I didn’t listen to the rest

        It’s really just a lying outrage headline - from the written article

    The only way to stop a bad guy with measles is a good guy with measles, I guess.
