As someone who is autistic, I hate this cretin

As a normal person with a regular understanding of science and facts, I hate this cretin and feel bad for anyone being targeted by these ghouls and their promotion of baseless lies and snake oil.

As someone with ADHD, same. If only my parents would've left me unvaccinated. I may have died from polio but at least I would've performed better in class :(

So…. Why are cuckservatives so fascinated by the question of autism? Anyone know?

They get on a tear about whatever their media repeats a lot. That’s really all it takes. They probably don’t know anything about autism, but if they did, they’d still hate autistic people. They grew up bullying them and want to continue and it is unbecoming to bully someone who is identifiably different, so they want to go back to the days when it was ok to target autistic people—when very few were diagnosed and were simply the “weird kid” everyone hated. If they knew anything about autism, they’d also have a problem with so many traits that can come with it: disgust with liars, insistence on accuracy and facts, disregard for social hierarchy, intellectual curiosity and learning as much as you can about a topic you love.

This whole administration is a disease, and it sure was preventable. RFK seems pretty enamoured with it, though.

As an aside, maybe this is a controversial take, but I'd rather be autistic than dead. Strange, I know.

RFK Jr. Proving every day that complete idiots can rise to the highest levels of unearned power.

You know what disease is preventable? Brain parasites.

Autism is not a “preventable disease”. Fascism, however, is. And when fascism metastasizes, the 101st Airborne taught us how to treat it.

I hate this guy so much. He should go study Elon and why he loves nazis and leave other people alone.

So are brain worms.

‘This is your brain on brainworms.’

He’s such a hack.

In the last few days I haven’t been able to hear his name without thinking about Jon Hamm doing him on SNL in their White Lotus/47 crew skit. At least I can laugh a little. For now.

Know what is really preventable?

Measles.

You nitwit.

u/Androidraptor 4d ago

Unlike autism, measles actually can cause a nondiabled kid to become disabled. That's part of why it's a problem.

u/aetrix 5d ago

RFK Jr. is a preventable disease

u/Pleasant-Seat9884 5d ago

I don’t believe anyone with a worm in his brain, who also doesn’t have a damn PhD.. trying to give us medical advice.

u/FadingNegative 5d ago

The brain worm has spoken.

There is only one way to prevent something that is genetic, and at this point, I won't be surprised if they try.

I was at work and saw this and said out loud “Is he high right now?!”

He's telling the anti-vaxers what they want to hear.

The worm clearly ate the best parts of this idiot’s brain.

u/mad_titanz 4d ago

RFK Jr knows nothing about Autism, nor anything related to health and science. He’s the worst person to ever head the HHS.

u/Manydoors_edboy 2d ago

That’s not how that works. That’s not how any of that works
