Imagine right before the confirmation hearing, companies like Pfizer, Moderna, big vaccine makers decided to sue him and all other prominent vaccine skeptics/critics for defamation.

I absolutely hope they do. Anti-Vaxxers are dangerous lunatics and I have no problem saying it. I will never, ever give any quarter to those people whatsoever. The only exception is for those who actually have a bad reaction to vaccinations. I'm completely serious about this. This man is a dangerous ****ing lunatic.

It's weird how liberals all seem to think that "vaccines" are one of the top political issues in 2024, and beyond.

Needles to say, they're not. If they were, I'm sure Harris would've probably relegated Trump to just the states McCain carried in 2008.

Being really neurotic about something, isn't particularly compelling.

Vaccines themselves aren't as much the issue as being anti-vaccine is a symptom of being detached from reality.

Consider the media bubble that you're in when you actually think that it's Democrats and not Republicans who refuse to shut up about vaccines.

I am undecided because the people who make the deadly chemicals also have families to feed

Democrats killed the executive filibuster in November 2013 and Republicans didn't bring it back when they had the majority. The executive filibuster would've allowed the minority to deny cloture and continue debating the nominee should any senator dare to force a vote on the nominee.

At the hearing he literally admitted under oath that despite the fact he has been pushing anti-vaxx snake oil for YEARS, HE VACCINATES HIS KIDS


He literally just does it for the fun of it I guess....

RFK at the hearing: "I have always been pro-science"

Also RFK:

BENNET: I’ll take that as a yes. I have to move on Mr. Kennedy. Did you say that Lyme disease is is highly likely a materially engineered bioweapon? I made sure I put in the highly likely. Did you say Lyme disease is a highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon?

KENNEDY: I probably did say that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rogan and many of the others in the meatheadosphere are more negative about Trump during his next ten years in power. Some people just enjoy being contrarian for the sake of it.

Vaccines should always be a personal choice and should never be forced against one's will. Hell, there should be a constitutional amendment safeguarding the right to informed consent regarding vaccines.

I say this as someone who did not support or vote for Bernie Sanders: We really screwed up by not electing him president.

South of our border they elected a DemSoc/SocDem left-wing populist very similar to Bernie (AMLO), and in just 1 term he gave Mexico Single-Payer Healthcare, raised the minimum wage to a living wage, legalized weed, codified abortion and Gay Marriage, and his party won a literal electoral mandate in all the chambers.....

Imagine what BERNIE could have done in around that time in a "More developed Nation". Bro, the New Deal would have looked like child's play.....

New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan got very emotional bringing up her son who has cerebral palsy. She urged people to "trust settled science".

The DNC screwed up too by stealing it from him. We could've had him in 2016 but we got Hillary instead, and we lost, and now we're here.
