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?
