Take-home message:

  • Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is one of the main activists of the modern anti-vaccination movement.

  • The movie his corporation recently produced, Medical Racism: The New Apartheid, mixes real examples of racism in healthcare and vaccine misinformation to push an anti-vaccine agenda on marginalized communities of colour.

Seriously, the fact that he's in charge of the health system is just a metaphor for the entirety of America

It's just fucked.

Fundamentally broken, and the majority of people just shrug their shoulders.

The populace is like the elephant who was tethered to a small stake while young and doesn't realise that it can rip it out now

You're all beaten down from birth

I've seen people go into areas hit by Trump and then whining about how Trump would make prices better for them and he's hurt them instead. Then they ask if they'd wish they'd vote them and they reflexively answer "no". It's like cultural. They would vote for these morons no matter what.

They will vote to be hurt, so long as they think that the people they hate will be hurt worse

Honestly surprised the megapharma corporations that manufacture and profit off vaccines have been tolerating him this well.

Makes you wonder what the vaccine policy in Russia is.
