What would a “national emergency to eat healthy, etc” look like, policy wise?
And yes, we all get it, your life is awesome. You tell us constantly how great you are. Congrats on being better than everyone. Doesn’t mean your penchant for supporting extreme right wingers is “reasonable.”
I didn’t. Which is why I tend to trust medical related science to people who did graduate from medical school.
Why do you have a problem with RFK questioning the established medical community?
He can question it all he wants, but he shouldn’t be taken seriously as an expert on the subject.
So you should have a medical degree to be taken seriously on medical topics if you’re running for office?
Yes, when it comes to medical science you should have at least a medical degree and significant experience in order to be taken seriously as an expert on medical science on a national/global level.
Politicians in office or running for office can present and debate policy based on that medical science, but what RFK and others are doing is making up their own medical science, which they are not qualified to do.
Fact based policy ideas can be debated, but RFK isn’t interested in facts.
Im calling bullshit here. What makes you say that
Ah yes, a meme from noted doctor and virologist James Woods. I mean, he’s played a doctor in movies, right?
What makes you say RFK isn’t interested in facts?
I feel like the answer is pretty obvious here. He doesn’t deal in facts. He deals in psuedoscience and long discredited beliefs about vaccines.
If you had a loved one who had cancer, would you recommend to them that they go see RFK jr for treatment?
Maybe. Maybe not.
But if you’re going to make a statement like that I feel like you should explain yourself
Lol. You’re either trolling or you’re a gold medalist in the idiot olympics. Either way, no point in engaging with you any further.
Exactly what I expected. You’re full of shit.
I think I was mistaken with that particular part of my claim and you are mostly correct here. The only person I was able to find who claimed it with authority in a quick google search was Biden. Obviously, his staff had to walk it back. Not that it’s a nothing burger for a president to say such a thing, but no one takes him seriously so I’ll give him a pass. Others hinted at it with open ended statements, mainly media types.
However, I don’t think you can deny the goalpost has been moved quite a bit as to what this vaccine actually does. And this is understandable, especially in light of my next point.
Maybe you didn’t mean to include the word, “rushed” in your first sentence. It’s definitely contradictory to what you stated in sentence three. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to convey.
In my opinion, the reason the goalposts for these vaccines kept moving is because no-one knew anything about it. They knew it didn’t kill everybody in the initial, rushed testing. They knew it reduced severity, slowed spread etc.
I’m not claiming the vaccine is the mark of the beast from Revelation. If I were elderly or had some co-morbidities I’d consider taking it.
As I stated on previous post, I think we potentially dodged a bullet, and hopefully there are no long term effects. (We just don’t know yet)
We then mandated it for many people. And I’m libertarianish so obviously that sticks in my craw.
I don’t remember msm calling for the unvaxed to be exterminated. Maybe you were just being hyperbolic? I do remember them using language that would be considered “othering” and shaming. Heck man, I remember being incredibly torn early on. I’ve got a wife and four young kids to consider, it was a stressful time for sure, for everyone.Check these out:
AP FACT CHECK: Biden goes too far in assurances on vaccines
President Joe Biden is offering what sounds like an absolute guarantee: If you're vaccinated, you won't get COVID-19. You won't end up in the hospital or die from it.apnews.com
CDC reverses statement by director that vaccinated people are no longer contagious
“We are continuing to evaluate the evidence,” a CDC spokesman said.thehill.com
Biden said, ‘If you get vaccinated, you won’t get COVID.’ Today, he tested positive for COVID - Washington Examiner
President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID today, the White House announced. The positive test comes several months after Biden received his second booster shot in March. This would mean Biden has had four vaccine doses and still tested positive for COVID. "This morning, President Biden...www.washingtonexaminer.com
Now, you did mention expert, but the internet has managed to nearly wipe clean all the people of MSM that were calling nightly for people who did want want the vaccine to be exterminated. That being said, you would think the POTUS and CDC director would be in touch with the experts.
Excellent point. The obesity crises is a multifaceted issue for sure. I do wish they would’ve paid it more lip service early on but it would’ve never made a huge difference if this virus was as deadly as we feared it could be initially. Hopefully people are paying attention, because that info is readily available now, and are making necessary lifestyle changes where they can.

We can see your critical thinking skills are pretty shallow.
Looks like your rabies shot didn't take.
And for the record, you should never take medical advice from Joe Rogan, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson or RFK.
That may be so. But, their advice was more correct than the official sources in regards to covid and the vaccine.
That says way more about the official sources than it does about anyone else.
Tell me you don't understand how science works without telling me you don't understand how science works.
Advice from right-wing propagandists is only right if you believe them more than professionals and only with cherry-picked anecdotal hindsight.
Let's not forget the vaccine was formulated to protect against the original strain of the virus that was much less transmissible and at that time it did appear to protect against the spread, but there were so many people who didn't get vaccinated that it quickly mutated into a highly contagious strain(s) that evaded the vaccine's protection. Just because the virus changed and mutated didn't mean the goalposts moved, it just means the science and hence the advice changed as the virus evolved.
Trump says stupider shit than that every day but the magats have just normalized it and dismiss it as "that's just Donald"

You're 100% correct. The majority of the Republican Party has lost their minds supporting someone who isn't even a Republican.
Exhibit A of the stupidity of a large portion of my party.
You compared Hilary Clinton complaining about the FBI and Russia stuff to Trump claiming the election was rigged. Hilary conceded and Trump never did and then he helped incite an insurrection at worst or a mob of crazy right wingers attacking the capital at the very least.
They aren't the same. Saying that they are makes you sound unintelligent.
Not sure why you only focus on my posts when you come after the left-leaning posters, because I care about my credibility and always try to make sure that what I say is backed up with fact-based evidence. But please explain what's unhinged about the post you responded to. Don't walk away from the question or call names, just provide what's wrong or "unhinged" about it.
They are the in fact, the same thing.
Also, Trump isn't being charged with insurrection.
Imagine being this fvcking gullible and stupid
It's what he does every day, so YEAH, I can imagine it.
Yeah man, for someone who believes that illnesses are caused by demon sperm and gets their medicine from Barney's Feed & Seed, I can see why you'd think that.
