    Our best chance is that he gets one of these diseases that is effectively treatable with a vaccine.

    Thing is, even with that, he’d just take the vaccine and proceed to lie about it for profit. His father must be turning over in his grave.

        I’ve said all along that these people will ultimately be done in by their own virtuosic incompetence.

        Managing an operation as complex and huge as the US Government by traitors, incompetents, narcissists, Nazis, drunks, addicts, weirdos, propagandists, and criminals is not sustainable. They will eventually burn their own house down, and we should surround the fire, and when one of them tries to escape, we should catch them, and toss them right back in.

    Ok so what is the most obvious, unhide-able , agonizing, and debilitating disease he can get from this?

    Because I hope he gets 330 million cases of it.

        Man I would feel so good getting to laugh at that.

        It would be a guilt free belly kinda laugh that actually makes me feel better.

        Knowing how much pain he was feeling and how miserable he is would literally make my stress level go down.

    THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS

    Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it’s gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.

      You do know that rivers and creeks can go on for miles right? And that they will widen and narrow at various points?

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to “prove his point” about germ theory being wrong. But it’s inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.

        I get where you’re coming from, but in the interest of keeping my comment simple I left out that he claimed to be hiking in Dumbarton Oaks Park, which is not far (and downstream) from the picture I posted such that it wouldn’t be plausible that it would be that narrow.

        But I’ll also point out the level of incredulity my comment is getting on a social media site, vs. RFK Jr.'s, which should strike anyone familiar with Rock Creek as almost certainly wrong. Yet everyone in the whole news media is either willfully ignoring this or just too lazy to look into it. And honestly it pisses me off because this lack of giving a fuck about basic facts from reporters who we falsely imagine as being employed in reporting facts shows how much we’re in a post-truth society and why we got a con artist as our president.

      In images shared on social media, Kennedy can be seen getting fully underwater, including his head, and then splashing around with several of his grandchildren. Kennedy, who does not have any background in medicine or science, was a long-time anti-vaccine advocate before President Trump appointed him to be health secretary. In a 2021 book, Kennedy indicated that he does not believe in germ theory, the fundamental concept that microscopic pathogens, such as those abundant in sewage, are the cause of disease.

      I get sometimes going “I’ll roll the dice”

      • Me: I’d like my steak medium rare
      • Government: That could expose you to some health risks because it’s not cooked well done.
      • Me: Yep, I’d rather enjoy a medium rare steak and take my chances.

      What the fuck was the logic on this one though?!

      • RFK: I want to swim in sewage
      • Government: it’s a bad idea to swim in sewage
      • RFK: I LOVE SEWAGE!!!

    Stop calling everyone a “skeptic” and call them what they are: deniers. Anti-science, fact resistant deniers. Calling people germ-theory skeptics, or climate skeptics, or vaccine skeptics, and so on and so on, makes it sound like there’s an honest scientific debate going on

      Exactly. Skepticism is about casting doubt on beliefs and dogmas, not outright rejecting facts. When it comes to germs and vaccines there’s scientific consensus on those matters. They’re as close to facts as you can get. But rejecting those you’re not a skeptic, you’re a denier. There’s no scientific debate on those topics, only a political debate on whether to reject science or not.

      ‘idiots’ is my preferred term. I’m in favor of calling stupid people out again. Too long has stupidity been condoned and even championed ‘He tells it like it is’.

      They are morons and need to be called that unabashedly.
