If you wanted to kill a bunch of Americans for some reason, without all the sticky issues around murder and the like, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with better than these past couple of months.

what's hilarious is, if you read the actual study from '94, that suggested there might be a link.... a middleschool-level of science is needed to refute it.

Remember, correlation is not causation, and that's all they really had. worse, they looked at 12 kids and zoomed in on the MMR vaccine. Which was incredibly common. Pretty much everyone between like the fifties or sixties until the 90's had vaccines.

if correlation is causation, and 12 kids is enough to establish correlation... then have more to consider there. I presume they were all, you know, wearing clothes, for example. Or shoes. Or had hair. They all probably spent time outside, too, in the sunlight. They all probably slept at night. OOO I know. They all probably ate food. and drank water, and not-water-stuffs. PB&J sandwiches.

edit to add: pluto was discovered the same year the diagnostic rules for autism were established, too. so pluto, the planet, causes autism.

So autistic people are from Pluto? Illegal aliens? Pluto is covered with ICE, that must be how they got here. Deported.

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pluto isn't a planet.

Argument destroyed, pharma shill ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yes it is, and I have the solar quest board game board to prove it.

Also, I will fight you. Nobody does Pluto dirty like that.

(For the record, the reclassified it to “dwarf planet” so it’s still a planet. I also understand why they did, but they could have made an exception…. Maybe even turn it into a “fun fact” lesson. Instead… they chose violence.)

Measles wreaks much more bodily havoc than just its 1% fatality rate

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Sounds like a great way to cripple a generation

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just maybe all the deaths eventually will make people turn on them. Unlikely, but who knows.

If we ever get a non republican back it will probably hit a boiling point right then.

[–] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

It didn't seem to change their mind with COVID deaths. They just blamed something else killed them

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

According to the website, Dr. Edwards opened the clinic when “a divine appointment in 2011 opened his eyes to the fact that US medical schools only teach a very narrow way of disease and symptom management with pharmaceuticals instead of disease and symptom resolution by addressing root causes.”

doesn't get more "root cause" than stopping a viral infection in its tracks with an effective vaccine. jfc.

So let me get this straight: He's against vaccines, but in favor of administering steroids to children? Okay, relax Satan.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, TBF, when it comes to steroids and children - they are prescribed at times by doctors.

Although given that it's RFK jr we are talking about here and the fact that he has zero training in any of this and is most definitely not a doctor....all of this is highly sus.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Wanna bet vaccines are prescribed more frequently?

[–] Tillman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

It’s like his family’s previous sickle cell testing but on white people.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Your parrot just has measles! Go ahead and rub this ointment on it....
