Remember kids,
It’s funny that rolling stone has the gall to publish this
In 2005 they published his article “deadly immunity” along with salon.com. It was filled with factual errors but it helped popularize the anti vaccine movement.
Salon eventually listened to fact checkers who were vocal about the fact that the article was absolute nonsense and misinformation. They admitted fault and that they should have done more due diligence. Even that was a fucking joke - a year after the article they listed numerous corrections showing the article was horrendously researched by an absolute fool with no peer review whatsoever. And while salon did eventually retract the article and distance themselves from the article it took six fucking years for them to do so despite glaring errors
Rolling stone on the other hand left the article printed for a decade and a half, at least. While the article above suggests they both retracted it that was clearly not the case:
heres a snapshot from 2020, when it still existed on their site
Note the byline: they moved to preserve the article, it actually had been broken in a site facelift. They made effort to ensure the article was not retracted
Rolling stone is a key factor in the anti vaccination movement and why Kennedy has a platform
Rfk was one of a dozen people responsible for 65% of antivax content on instagram
Fuck rfk and fuck rolling stone. Have journalistic integrity and do the bare minimum of fact checking. Fuck this “we always have to present both sides to be fair” bullshit. You don’t have to do that when one is objectively wrong
We really shouldn't be glorifying anyone's family to the extent America did with the Kennedys. Many of them are and were worthless shitsacks. Of the dozen or so I have met only Teddy and Joe were impressive and Teddy's dead.
I don’t know who the bigger clown is, but I think it’s Hannity. What a little groveling lying fuck he is.
RFK Jr. is grossly irresponsible.
If you guys make it out of this the other side, all these people need to be tried for treason. You cannot let them go unpunished. These lies are enabling the downfall of the US to happen peacefully and without resistance. So sad to see it happen.
Don't be so sure that these lies, or "this style of politics" is only enabling the downfall in the US. The Internet is breaching the barrier of what once was the big pond separating us from the US.
It's already used in modern politics around the world as justification for similar topics. Some people even demand "DOGE-like" actions against bureaucracy in countries of the EU. Be a little more like Musk.
Shit's staining.
Treason is an extremely-rare charge in the US, and the conditions for it are very narrow.
They are much narrower than "doing things that are detrimental to the country".
I am confident that RFK Jr. would not meet the bar.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason_laws_in_the_United_States
In the United States, there are both federal and state laws prohibiting treason.[1] Treason is defined on the federal level in Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution as "only in levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Most state constitutions include similar definitions of treason, specifically limited to levying war against the state, "adhering to the enemies" of the state, or aiding the enemies of the state, and requiring two witnesses or a confession in open court.[2] Fewer than 30 people have ever been charged with treason under these laws.[3]
At this rate by 2028 we'll all be too sick and hungry to vote.
Treason requires working on behalf of an enemy nation. By every indication RFKJr is just another wealthy spoiled dumbfuck. There's nothing that suggests his idiocy was designed to benefit a foreign power.
He needs to be sued into the ground for his actions in office.
...suggested that the best way to get lifetime immunity from the measles is to simply become infected with measles, and that the measles vaccine is dangerous to those who take it.
He’s so very close to understanding how vaccines work.
If you have the measles, and are not vaccinated, you cannot tale the vaccine to help the body. The only thing you can do then, that has been studied and proven to help, is taking vitamin A. Also, not being malnourished to begin with, goes a long way.
That still doesn’t make RFK right about anything. The article is about encouraging people to be vaccinated.
Your comment is what the cool kids call sus
If you have the measles because you were not vaccinated. FTFY
