    If RFK Sr. were still alive to see what his son’s become, he’d shoot himself.

    Every case of it going forward he should be charged with a murder. Any families that lose people because of these ass hats shenanigans need to be ready to sue them directly and personally. Preferably criminally rather than civilly.

      I don’t expect that to go very far in the courts; they don’t generally assign that kind of personal liability to government officials for policy decisions.

    The USA’s self-sabotage is starting to make Brexit look mild. But the USA’s disease outbreaks will kill people worldwide.

    So, are we supposed to watch as the US just sink under a sea of easily preventable diseases?

      No. Instead we can:

      • ask our Senators to reject the antivaxxers from positions where they have power over health
      • ask for our states to step up to protect vaccine availability
      • make sure people around us know how much good vaccines do
      • make sure we and our families get vaccines before they’re taken away from us

      Put that anger into organizing your community and telling people about what is going on.

      It makes much more of a difference than any kind of self harm

        Absolutely. Triggers are an opportunity to do the hard work of healing ourselves and our communities. I’m of the opinion that the reason “many are called, few are chosen” is because many of us are looking for someone else to do the hard, dirty work that very few of us are willing to step up and do.

    Jesus Christ. Would someone please tell him that falcons can get polio? That’s probably the only way he’d believe it’s dangerous.
