I want off this ride.

[u/PhoenixGate69 → u/lurkertiltheend]

This is the worst timeline.

I would like a refund.

[u/Brilliant_Effort_Guy]

Aaaaaaaand there it is. Intimidating healthcare providers and likely driving some of them out when we will need them the most. Flu season 2025/2026 is going to be liiiiiiit

[u/PrestigiousCrab6345 → u/Brilliant_Effort_Guy]

I got my shot this month. The new COVID booster comes out on September. I am going to buy six more months of reduced risk for serious symptoms.

[u/Antz0r]

RFK Jr cannot remain and his replacement cannot be an antivaxxer.

[u/Anxious-String3316]

RFK Jr. is a nut, he believes crazy things, just random opinions of his are turned into CDC guidelines. I am going to upset, very upset, if I can't get a COVID vaccine, I don't care if I have to pay for it myself.

RFK Jr. will be reponsible for killing millions if he stays in for four years, this is in addition to the tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, he killed by pushing pseudoscience and anti vaccine craziness around the world.

[u/Flimsy-Fortune-6437 → u/Anxious-String3316]

One of the nuttier things he apparently believes is that CDC recommendations carry some legal weight. They don’t. CDC has no regulatory authority. And he’s supposedly a lawyer

[u/ominous_squirrel → u/Flimsy-Fortune-6437]

Presidential EOs also hold no weight outside the Executive Branch and yet here we are

[u/Admirable_Trash3257 → u/Flimsy-Fortune-6437]

The worm ate the part of his brain that knew lawyer stuff and the feces tainted his brain

[u/LatrodectusGeometric → u/Admirable_Trash3257]

I mean that was kind of his argument in court for why he shouldn’t give his ex alimony

[u/Flimsy-Fortune-6437 → u/LatrodectusGeometric]

Please tell me you’re joking

[u/LatrodectusGeometric → u/Flimsy-Fortune-6437]

Oh no the reason we know about the brain worm is because he actually testified to the divorce court that he couldn’t be expected to pay serious alimony because he couldn’t make good money working as a lawyer anymore because he was cognitively impacted by his brain parasite.

This was actually literally his argument.

[u/ominous_squirrel → u/Anxious-String3316]

RFK Jr’s ideology killed dozens in Samoa and he doubled down. A man like that doesn’t change for dozens and he doesn’t change for millions. It’s a self-reenforcing worldview

Certainly plenty of us regular people are on board with ending this agenda before it kills more Americans. But where are the corporations? Big pharma? Wall Street? A single gd mainstream Republican politician?

It’s unfathomable that so many people who have power are secretly for this or just too scared to do anything. It’s unfathomable except for the fact that this is how it is played out every other time in human history where fascism takes over

[u/B0LT-Me → u/ominous_squirrel]

In their minds, they are doing what they need to do to survive. That usually takes precedence for the majority

[u/West-Application-375 → u/Anxious-String3316]

I work in clinic and I want the vaccine. I'm losing my mind over this

[u/IntelligentStyle402 → u/Anxious-String3316]

Yes, the entire Kennedy family told us that when they endorsed President Biden. Brain worm is a creeper and a felon.

[u/Physical_Ad5840 → u/Anxious-String3316]

We may as well have random antivax tik tok influencers making policy.

[u/irishmermaid13]

If insurance companies don’t want to pay for worse health outcomes, maybe they should listen to the actual doctors. Corporate greed could actually save us here!

[u/725Cali → u/irishmermaid13]

Likely not. They just look at their profits. If they save money at the front end, they're going to do it. And if/when people get sick, they have no problem denying care

[u/ScentedFire → u/725Cali]

The costs will come very quickly if they choose to do that.

[u/peanutspump → u/ScentedFire]

They look at these things in short term gains, like it’s not human health and life they’re dealing in. They don’t care if it’s cost effective long term, or the right thing to do. Someone high up needs to keep their job in the short term by meeting whatever profit goals for the quarter, so that’s the focus.

[u/WolverineofTerrier → u/ScentedFire]

The Trump admin will just come after them if they step out of bounds against what they want. They’ll eat the costs over becoming a target.

[u/vaping_menace]

RFK is a dangerous kook.

[u/Lonely_skeptic]

Kennedy should be liable for the harm done by his asinine, uninformed policies., His advisors Are equally unqualified, except as anti-vaccination nutjobs.

[u/LatrodectusGeometric]

Bad title. RFK Jr. THREATENS docs. He has absolutely no ability to follow through on what he is threatening, that is absolutely not his jurisdiction.

[u/eclwires]

Because freedom! Here’s your daily reminder that all of RFK Jr’s children are fully vaccinated.

[u/Designer-Contract852 → u/eclwires]

And so is he!

[u/Broken_By_Default]

RFK wants natural herd immunity. So about 20mil of you will have to die. Good luck. 👍

[u/FrankenGretchen]

Does that mean the CD is now liable for injuries from people following their guidelines? That's how that works, right?

[u/B0LT-Me]

He literally wants people to die. Or he is the stupidest fucking creature on earth

[u/CatRescuer8 → u/B0LT-Me]

Or both

[u/lurkertiltheend]

You know what’s crazy is that Trump actually has something truly remarkable as his legacy - the Covid vaccine rollout. It saved millions of lives. And he’s destroying it with this bullshit. The ONE thing he got right

[u/bluewhale3030 → u/lurkertiltheend]

Well the only reason he even got that right is because he had sane people putting pressure on him to do the right thing. And they still had to listen to him talking about injecting bleach and crap like that. He was never the real hero in thst situation. And this time he doesn't have any handlers. A terminally stupid, egotistical maniac who has no critical thinking skills, can't read, likely has dementia, and believes whatever his aides tell him is in charge of our country and has control over what happens to a large part of the world. We truly live in the dumbest timeline. edit: spelling 

[u/B0LT-Me → u/lurkertiltheend]

Unfortunately, I don't think he gives a shit about his legacy. I think he cares about more millions of dollars, not being in jail, and fucking over everyone that he imagines slighted him.

[u/Sdguppy1966]

That motherfucker.

[u/Abbacoverband]

I read the article, and he's talking out of his ass. There is no link between the recommendation and liability within the vaccine injury act of 86. 

[u/bluewhale3030 → u/Abbacoverband]

Does he ever not talk out of his ass?

[u/escahpee]

I went to the Dr today and he was all over this s**t. He went over what we needed to and then I just listened to him rant. He's such a good guy

[u/IHaveSomeOpinions09]

As long as a drug/vaccine is FDA approved, any doctor can prescribe it off-label. All they have to do is discuss with the patient/parent (and document) that it’s off-label, what the risks are, and why they’re recommending it anyway.

[u/Liz_LemonLime → u/IHaveSomeOpinions09]

Then the patient has to pray and often submit a preauth request for their insurance to cover something off label.

[u/Byte606]

Time for a local DA to evaluate criminal extortion charges against RFK Jr.

[u/Physical_Ad5840]

"you must let kids die, for the good of the regime, or face prison time", is RFK's wet dream.

[u/gerbilchunks]

The clowns gotta go

[u/LostmydadtoCOVID]

How dare a non-physician (let alone a total moron) try to tell physicians how to practice! Remove RFK Jr. NOW!

[u/it-was-justathought]

Well - we as a nation voted them in.
