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.
He’s not even in office yet.
It’s like they’re begging us to rise up in revolution.
They know that when it comes down to it you won’t. They know that the older generations are too set in their ways and the younger generation is more concerned about Naughty Dog’s new game. It’s takes very little for Americans to piss and moan on social media but much much mote before mass uprising. There are trillions of dollars to be fleeced from the middle class before any significant resistance arises.
Quick, someone lookup any owners of iron lung manufacturers. It will be one of these schmucks. Always follow the money
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.
Surely this Republican who faced hardship won’t want anyone else to go through what he did.
I think the GOP have already proven that they’d rather die than admit they were wrong.
*they would rather kill our children with preventable viruses than admit they were wrong
Kennedy is an imminent threat to the health and safety of our children. I wish the worm would finish the job.
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
Just concentrate on the corn syrup you idiot. Pretty much everyone is on board with that.
That industry will just buy out every room in every Trump hotel for a week and Trump will tell him to shut the fuck up or fire him and hire Joe Exotic.
He’s already got dr Oz lined up in the same position for when he fires Kennedy. I’d bet real money it’ll be on the order of 2 months, so mar 1 or so. He loves telling people they are fired, and he think episodically from 15 seasons of the Apprentice show.
And the legalization of weed.
yes. its amazing but there is a small nugget of win in some of their stuff.
You have fun finding those nuggets among the fun new slavery and lack of any future elections lol
um. u2. I guess.
A stopped clock…
oh you may not have realized but you accidentally put an l in there.
In case it’s not clear enough, successful revocation means NOBODY can get the vaccine.
I’m fucking moving to Canada if this happens. This is one of the best vaccines ever made.
Ah, a classic move by “the party of personal freedoms”.
Wait it even the wealthy? Wonder how many wealthy babies need to suffer before the poors can get their world back.
None. The wealthy can just take a trip to another country if it comes to that.
I mean once you have polio no amount of leisurely travel will cure you…?
But if you are wealthy you can take your kid to a doctor in Canada or something to get vaccinated…
Rules for thee, not the wealthy.
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
And he is one of the lucky ones.
Seriously. I’ve said this before here, but travel somewhere the polio vaccine wasn’t widely available. The amount of suffering via deformity and impacted development it causes is frightening.
Highly recommend watching the documentary “Benda Bilili!” about a group of street musicians in Kinshasa, DRC. They’re mostly paralyzed due to childhood polio, but it’s a very uplifting doc. They even sang a lovely song on their debut album about it called Polio.
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
“RFK Jr: an iconoclast set to shake up a complacent public health establishment.”
“If progressives truly want to bring the surge of polio deaths in the United States to an end they will have to learn to be nicer to our wealthy friends.”
RFK Jr acknowledges health care system is flawed.
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.
#FreeLuigi
RFK Jr is the virus. Luigi is the vaccine.
So idiotic I actually laughed reading that first paragraph.
