RFK is a swindler. He sets a bar that doesn't exist. As he goes around shutting down various vaccines and medications, he says "Look folks, I just want these to be safe!"
Well, the thing is, there's not really such a thing as "safe" re: vaccines and medications. Hell, if you look at aspirin, there are thousands of injuries and even some deaths caused by it every year. Yet, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to eliminate aspirin.
He's setting an impossible standard and then selectively terminating anyone who doesn't fulfill it.
ANY medication/vaccine carries some inherent risk. The wise thing to do is if the benefits outweigh the risks, then allow it, otherwise, do not.
Imagine if all cars had to be taken off the road until we had a "safe" car that never had an accident. I think we'd be walking for quite some time.
Unfortunately, America is full of people who are long on anger and short on logic. They are tearing down things that took decades to construct.
The damage being done right now will take decades to unravel.
Fuck you, RFK. You were bad enough when you were a solo wingnut, but now the choices you are making is screwing over millions of people.
All the law makers should be held liable for negligent homicide for not passing laws requiring breathalyzers be installed on every car!
Also the max speed should be 40kmh to prevent deaths!
And EV, to prevent even more deaths
Don't give him ideas.
