How do you feel about the risk he presents to national health if we have an infectious disease outbreak?

What would Cat turd have to say?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that he had a parasitic worm in his brain around 2010, which doctors initially thought was a tumor but later identified as a pork tapeworm larva that had caused a cyst and some brain tissue damage. The parasite, which was a Taenia solium larva, died, and Kennedy has since recovered from any lingering effects. While a doctor suggested the worm may have "eaten a portion" of his brain, the parasite likely caused inflammation and cognitive issues by forming a cyst that damaged brain tissue, not by actively consuming it, according to PBS NewsHour.

Kennedy’s daughter recalled the whale incident in a 2012 interview with Town and Country magazine, which recently resurfaced and was shared extensively on social media. Kathleen Kennedy said when she was 6 years old, her dad got word that a dead whale had washed ashore. He got a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head and strapped it to the roof of their minivan for a five-hour drive home.

“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kathleen Kennedy recalls. “We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”

tell you what I think.....up until COVID I think most Americans had 100% faith in our national health system - NIH, CDC, FDA etc - after COVID and discovering how we were lied to about the vaccine, it's effects and all the other made up things like the 6 feet rule etc.

There has always been this underlying doubt about why so much autism. I don't know what causes it, but research is definitely warranted.

Right now, I don't 100% trust our system. And it isn't RFK Jr. The entire system is suspect IMO and has been for years. I posted somewhere in another thread, my wife and I got the moderna shot the first day it became available, booster exactly when requires. We both just got COVID. I simply don't trust the COVID boosters anymore. We have all these scientists and you'd think they could agree on the vaccine, but they can't. Our system has become too politicized and has been before RFK

Seems to me that a shakeup in the system is warranted

Vaccines don't cause autism.

The Covid vaccines worked exactly as they were expected to for the original strain, now they are less effective, similar to the flu vaccines because of changes to the strains,

The vaccines are an educated guess at this point for the flu, but they still make the effects less severe if you do get it.

That's literally how vaccines work.

What's scary is this anti vax rhetoric that is leading people to not vaccinate against diseases such as measles and polio. That's scary since they had largely been eradicated.

Here is a real situation, Parents who choose to not vaccinate their children against Chicken Pox, now place that child at high risk if someone with Shingles comes near them.

The suggestion that you were lied to is maddening to hear, especially coming from someone as smart as you. Ned that's how science works - when youre dealing with a novel virus, your original recommendations are based on learnings from previous viruses and that's where the six foot rule came from - don't forget this was in the very beginning before they knew much about the virus at all, but what do you think would put you in more danger, six feet or one foot?? Just because they later learned it could be transmitted over longer distances doesn't mean you were lied to - they just learned more.

And the vaccine was engineered to attack the original strain and many lives would have been saved if all the deniers got vaxxed in the beginning, instead of doing everything in their power to enable it to spread and mutate until it evaded the vaccine's protection. So what they told you then was mostly true but you're using the info you learned after the virus had mutated to form your opinion that they lied to you, which is silly. You still may have prevented yourself from a serious illness or even death though there's no way to prove a negative.

It's as simple as this:
  • Trump lost the election which pissed off his supporters because the FDA didn't approve the vaccine before the election. Plus they knew he lost because of the way he mangled the response.
  • Hence the maga propaganda army went defcon 1 against everything vaccine and covid related and they also wanted Biden to fail since he stridently advocated getting vaccinated.
  • You listened to all these non-expert voices who continue to sow misinformation to this day.
  • If you feel lied to, it's not because of the voices coming from the health industry, it's because you allowed the propaganda to influence you.
  • After multiple billions of doses being administered around the world, we have all the evidence we need that the vaccine is safe IF you listen to the experts, who do not disagree, but that's not who you're listening to.
  • There was no reason to overturn the system just because the unqualified magagentsia are against it, because I can assure you this overturn that you're applauding will have deadly consequences.
  • You're too smart for this so do better and don't align with the Neanderthals in your party. It's dangerous for all of us.

I hope he completely overhauls the whole department after Covid. It was a tragedy what they did. Complete and utter failure. I hope he revamps so many things, the previous admin was a failure.
You are ridiculously fvcking insane and a real danger to the rest of us.

If you think he is qualified, I have to believe you are an idiot
The only idiots are the people who came up with the 6 feet rule. And thought it was a good idea to wear masks. And the ones who think Helatitis B vaccines should be administered to every infant.

Total clown show over there.

Fauci was a disaster. The other fruitcake was a total disaster.

Regime change and RFK jr is the man for the job.

LOL "Came up with" in the beginning made sense based on what they learned from past viruses but people with nano brains can't comprehend that's how science works - you have to start somewhere. Would you have trusted them OR LISTENED if they said 15 feet? Let's be honest, you didn't gaf what they recommended, you weren't going to follow it because you're an amoral cretin who couldn't give two ***** about public health.

And LOL that RFK is qualified for any job in health related fields.

"Even more demoralizing has been the hollowing out of institutions the Kennedys have built and supported for decades — the Peace Corps, USAID, and Head Start, among others. But with Bobby the only one in a real position of power, the Kennedys didn’t seem able to do much except lament the situation. In April, Kerry published a riff on Martin Niemöller’s famous poem, “First They Came,” to express her angst about Trump’s unending stream of attacks on the government, including USAID and the U.S. Institute of Peace, where she is a board member:

First they came for USAID & USIP
And I did not speak out
Because I was not part of USAID or USIP
"The fact that Bobby was working to reshape America’s health system, of all things, was especially hard to stomach. John F. Kennedy had signed the Vaccination Assistance Act, which ensured access to immunizations against diseases like polio, and Ted Kennedy devoted much of his Senate career to health care, up through the Affordable Care Act, which passed months after his death. “He is undermining everything his uncle worked on for many years,” Jim Manley, who spent 11 years assisting Ted in the Senate, told me this spring. “Do you have any idea how much time he spent protecting the CDC and NIH? How hard he worked to provide health care for all Americans? This guy is trying to destroy everything — I’m so mad I can’t even think about it straight.”

In addition to endorsing cuts to Medicaid, Bobby has taken aim at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and laid off staffers at the CDC who coordinated a partnership with the Special Olympics. While visiting a conference of Native American tribes earlier this year, Bobby promised to continue his father’s commitment to improving the lives of Native Americans — only for the Trump administration to cut a USDA program focused on providing healthy food on reservations. Manley gave credit to Caroline for speaking out forcefully but was upset by the relative quiet from the other Kennedys. “It’s been virtual radio silence,” Manley said. “He’s just dumping all over their legacy, and I don’t see any of them doing anything.”

So how should they have approached the early stages of the pandemic? Waiting months until there was enough data to have more conclusive guidelines? Don’t forget how overwhelmed our healthcare systems were at that time.

for anyone, right or left that has complained about our health system, RFK should be a breath of fresh air. We've been complaining about the impact of big pharma on our system, at least he's doing something outside the box.

I get a kick out of his no BS response to some of these senators. Like Sen Whitehouse saying he can't get responses from HHS. Kennedy's response "you have my phone number, I haven't heard from you for 7 months". Or with Sen wyden, complaining about HHS - kennedy's response (paraphrasing) ..you've been sitting in that chair for 26 years and health has decreased by 76%, what have you done?

I don't agree with his positions on all vaccines...those like measles, mumps, polio have been around for decades and have proven to be effective. Yoshi might have a better idea than I, but seems to me we shouldn't be screwing around with them

RFK was right for the most part. The amount of money those people are taking to sell the country to vaccine manufacturers is crazy. I’m not antivax but some of this is common sense. Why are infants getting Hep B vaccines? Why are there so many and is it possible to space them out? It’s simply trying to understand why we are generally so unhealthy despite spending exponentially more on our health. It’s a holistic approach to the overall health of the nation. He looks a lot more put together than the last person, I would at least take advice from him. I don’t listen to fat asses tell me about health. Watching Peter Hotez lecture people about health as he’s tipping the scales at 275 lbs is hilarious.

Yeah, who would want to listen to someone as accomplished as Dr Peter Hotez when you have a quack-a-doodle, conspiracy theorist who does push-ups you could listen to? Ok Darwin...

like most of us, yoshi has his point of view and also like most of us his biases come through in his posts. I've been able to have some good back and forth with him. I don't always agree with him and I'm sure he doesn't always agree with me. But that's OK, that's life.

The most difficult line to cross is identifying where the facts that we use come from. A lot of the media that publish data have their own built in biases but they publish as facts only part of the actual fact. So, if you don't understand the process it's easy to get caught up in statements that make sense, but only tell part of the story. Most of us don't have any idea of the federal budgeting process or the federal accounting process. So it's easy to get caught up in the deficit/debt debate where two people can literally look at the same facts, apply their own mental filter (based on what they know) and come to different conclusions, neither of which might be right.

I'm not ready to discount yoshi's posts. We all need to understand the other side's perspectives.

Appreciate the comments.

So that you have some context, @fatpiggy blocked me when he didnt like that I could easily, and consistently show that he was completely wrong.

He is also a poster who made a ban bet under a different username, then instead of honoring his bet, he changed his profile and continued posting. He has admitted this.

Honestly, he's a bit of a head scratcher as a poster and it's almost like a shared account with two or more people posting. He will react very sanely such as when Trump refused to release the Epstein files, then the next day fully support the decision and attack anyone who disagrees.
