    RFK is a skid mark on the Kennedy name. He knowingly snake-oiled ivermectin, counter to the data and extreme majority of medical professsionals. Don’t pretend it was an “oopsie- he was told the wrong thing!” That’s super disingenuous.

    He’s not even a good snake oil salesman. If you honestly believe the shit you used to defend him, I have some tickets to heaven I can get you for a killer discount lmao

        Ok for sure the ivermectin thing wasn’t smart. But it was the only alternative to the vaccine being talked about at the time.

        It was not. It was a flight of utter fancy. It was a fiction.

        While that was a mistake, he does have a good point about pharmaceutical companies pushing out the COVID vaccines very quickly and making as killing in profits.

        He does not. No one got rich off of the COVID-19 vaccines. In fact, vaccines in general are not a cash cow for the pharmaceutical industry. I’m not saying the industry is populated by good people—lol nope—but if you follow the money it doesn’t go far because there isn’t much of it. They get the good PR from selling vaccines, and then they make money from ED pills and such.

        Many people have reported serious permanent side effect to those vaccines.

        No they haven’t. And don’t try to toss VAERS data at me; it’ll just prove that you don’t know what that database is. In reality the side effects from the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are almost miraculously low—somewhat lower than the industry standard in terms of occurrences, and much lower than the industry standard in terms of severity. Most importantly, though, they were dramatically lower than just catching the disease.

        Maybe there should’ve been a bit more quality assurance or more tests to ensure there wouldn’t be any problems.

        mRNA vaccines have been in development since 1993. The pharmaceutical industry wasn’t pushing it because traditional vaccines were good enough (read: cheaper) between 1993-2020, but the R&D was consistent for that time.

        Then again, it was in a period where the vaccine was absolutely necessary and as soon as possible. So… Yeah. We didn’t really have a choice.

        We definitely did need the speed of mRNA in vitro transcription vaccines at the height of the pandemic. But it’s not like this was a “second-best” option, or a case where we were settling for something.

        I implore you, get your medical information from reliable sources.

            You are perpetuating dangerous lies in an attempt to defend a horrible liar. You need to REALLY consider why the fuck you do that. Educate yourself before spewing that nonsense.

                He was a hack long before the brain worm. The worm thing is absolutely pertinent and you are correct that should preclude him from any serious run, but he’s been selling snake oil for a looooong time and has many reasons beyond mere medical stuff that should top the list of why he’s a piece of shit leader.

                I don’t know what to tell you if you need to have a discussion about a grifter. To take him seriously, you have to pretty seriously have zero knowledge about what he lies about. If that’s the case, perhaps you should be researching the topic with a reputable source instead of playing devils advocate for a lying POS.

                You have to be utterly stupid or willfully ignorant to A) take him seriously B) ignore the fact that his claims were, to an extreme degree, publicly refuted.

                But sure, tell me more how you expect us to seriously discuss the merits of Mr. Brain Worm.

                    If you’re ignorant about the guy, maybe try not playing devils advocate and spreading his lies. Do some basic research before muddying discourse and looking like a knob.
