Time to start investing in iron lung and wheelchair manufacturers. My late dad had polio when he was in his 20s. It almost killed him and left him crippled for life. The vaccine was rolled out a few years later and he was always thankful that it stopped so many people going through what he did.
Then this dipshit comes along…
My grandfather had polio, and walked with a can his entire life. At least that’s what I can tell from pictures, he died before any of his grandchildren were born.
I met a man who had polio. His party trick was being able to twist his leg at the knee to put his heel next to his ear, because the paralysis caused his leg to waste away.
I hear a lot of talk about boomers pulling up the ladder behind them. This is also lighting fire to the ground below
Un-fucking-real.
Make Polio Great Again.
Well, most MAGA folks want a return to 1950’s America and you don’t get more 1950’s America than a polio outbreak.
Pay walled anybody got a link I can read the fucking article? Sick of paywalls especially on stuff this important.
Thanks that fucker is terrifying. I hope they don’t get confirmed. Also hope the fucker catches a case of polio then maybe he will sing a different tune.
Based on the time period into which he was born, he’s definitely been vaccinated for polio.
I guess I’m still not getting it. What’s the motivation here? What’s in it for clowns like Kennedy when they decide they know more about vaccines than the people who have worked in the field for their entire careers?
Just an idle rich kid looking for a cause to champion?
I know that’s what drives me crazy too. As opposed to a lot of harmful conservative policies that are clearly motivated by a desire to look out for the interests of the wealthy or pander to xenophobes, the anti-vaxx stuff is just pure contagious madness.
I guess instead of preventing disease they’d rather sell you treatment
or will only give the vaccines to the right people?
Does he own stock in any iron lung manufacturers?
Don’t forget baby coffins.
best I can guess is that the goal is to invent new cult doctrines to recruit new members and to further brainwash the existing members
but at the same time it really does feel like the dipshit actually believes this shit, so… yeah I’m with ya
That took about exactly as long as I expected.
I guess that worm must have ate the portion of kennedy’s brain that remembers polio.
Making the iron lung great again. MAGA dooming people to horrific lives.
A lawyer who was too stupid to become a doctor, suing doctors and virologists for something he has no knowledge of. Priceless.
I’m just hearing Plinkett / Stoklasa from the early Star Wars prequel videos.
George Lucas didn’t ruin my childhood… fucking polio did!
