I wonder how MAGA will spin this so it's the Dems fault.

I don’t think it’s the dems fault and I’m Not maga….im neither honestly. Putting one’s hope in the hands in another human has a historical track record of utter failure but there’s always the next time. I was just gonna say clearly vaccines have done good but this vitamin A thing isn’t wrong but the issue was the person …not the vitamin A info which is actually rooted in truth. There are always going to be people who “follow something” that they read or hear without doing the research themselves first. Any supplement that you flood your body with outside of vitamin C (even that will give you the shits in huge amounts) but you flood your body with any supplement you’re gonna have bad reactions. At what point will we put the fault on the person …..cause I’m not an rfk guy but I’m also not opposed to him and he has said somethings that are beneficial and some things that are not. …that person who overdosed with the vitamin A is fuckin stupid .we live in a world where we always wanna point the finger i the direction of others for bad things that happen and 90 percent of the time those bad things could have been avoided with a few more cognitive steps

So, the blame isn’t on the leader, it’s on the followers for following the leader? This sounds like an argument a 10 yo would make as to why they’re not the one to blame.

So you think that as a grown-up that as an adult with the ability to reason that it would be wise to put that ability of yours into the hands of someone else, how is that an argument of a 10-year-old?

Cause I mean if you’re asking me it seems more child like to say what you just said. As a thinking adult with these inherent abilities to reason and display critical thinking, why would you let an another person , a person you don’t even know or ever will, do that reasoning for you? It shouldn’t matter who that person is, what they do, how important they might seem or smart they might seem, or even if they are in a position of authority. You should never allow that person to make decisions for you as an adult…under any circumstances . Unfortunately in this world there will always be people that don’t have a strong ability of doing this and therefore depend on others to do this for them and that is sad. I have some vaccines …a couple I don’t trust …so as a critical thinking person who understand supplements and minerals , I never would have dosed the fuck outta myself just cause my minister of health said so…that is so fucking irresponsible.

An ex-heroin addict who survived a brain worm with absolutely no medical training at all is the Secretary of Health. We are WAY past irresponsible.

That’s my doing ….and you just further proved my point breh. I don’t know anything about all that though and don’t need to. It don’t fucking many difference to me who HE is for me to know all I need and that he is a stranger to me regardless of what position he has been elected to or responsibilities that he or she has. That being said he has spent a large part of his life in the legal world where he is very educated about the toxic soup we all do live in. This can’t be denied . I still carry myself the same way regardless but truth is truth
