I'm fairly certain, they just all got together to make a list of all the stupid things they could do to own the libs.

The neat thing about this one, is that It only hurts the people that are going to follow him. The people who didn't vote for that side know better.

Unfortunately, vaccines aren't all 100% protective. And there are people who get the disease even though they were vaccinated. That means that the idiots who don't get vaccinated can spread the virus to people who wouldn't have gotten sick otherwise. Which of course doesn't mean that vaccination is bad, only that it is not perfectly protective. For example, I have had all the Covid vaccinations up to the day I got Covid. I only knew I had Covid because my wife, who was one booster behind me, got sick with Covid so even though I felt fine, I tested and saw that I also had Covid. But the vaccine kept me from getting sick.

You would hope so, but there’s just as many ‘crunchy’ people on the left as there are in the right.

Most of those people are now all in for Trump. I'm not even sure I'd call them "left" in the way that people mean anyway, even before they became Trump supporters.

Mfw the lefty "natural" bullshit peddled by health nuts gets tacit approval from my conservative parents trying to eat "traditionally" aka raw everything.

Yeah, my anarchocommunist cousin had to have explosive diarrhea like half a dozen times before she'd admit it was raw milk causing it.

She is VERY fortunate that she didn't get much sicker!

Anarchists are not known for acknowledging the benefits of government regulation.

Get ready, there's going to be a whole lot of peeling off the warning labels.

I wonder, well they outright outlaw vaccines, or they just be privatized only...

RFK's version of the conspiracy is that vaccines are a scam inflicted by private pharma. Given his druthers, he would probably outlaw not just vaccines, but all corporation-produced medicine.

If the state were to fund it adequately... I find little flaw with it.

I suspect he's just preparing to make the pharmaceutical lobby pay their dues.
