RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Jeffrey Epstein had doctors prescribe birth control and sedatives to his victims. They also screened his victims for STDs. He had dentists work on their teeth. I’d like to know who these people are and why they have been protected.

Busted out my favorite T-shirt to get my COVID19 and flu vaccines. Usually I have a big smile on my face, but this time, I can’t just be happy about it. I’m also angry for all the people struggling to get their vaccines, and for the reason it’s happening. So here’s my message for RFK Jr.

Another quote from RFK Jr.’s podcast on ibogaine: “One of the things we are trying to do is to figure out how to get data on all of this to supply to the FDA to get approval for an IND to do a study…most of the stories that you hear are what we would term anecdotal…”. This is not how an IND works.

I have listened to RFK Jr.’s latest podcast episode just for y’all. It’s about ibogaine, a psychoactive compound that is at present illegal in the United States. Direct quote on the topic from RFK Jr. himself: “Ibogaine is not safe. You can die from it”.

Sounds like we’re about to find out if Mitch McConnell has been on eternity leave or not.

Children’s Health “Defense” is the anti-vax organization that RFK Jr. founded. They are the same group that is proudly supporting the mother who has been charged with murdering her 18-month-old twins, but who is attempting to blame their deaths on vaccines. This is, as usual, disgraceful.

Buenas noches.

Photo of a sky as the light is disappearing at sunset. There are three clouds that kind of look like three mountains. A crescent moon and Venus are on the right hand side.

It doesn’t matter if you eat organic foods. It doesn’t matter if you exercise regularly. It doesn’t matter if you inject peptides. It doesn’t matter if you have “good genes”. None of these things will prevent you from contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. There is only one thing that will.

Less than 72 hours before this happened in Phoenix.

When you go to the polls and vote for a Republican, you are voting for an escalation of preventable deaths, continued erosion of food safety, and anti-science disinformation. Not a single Republican has done a goddamned thing about the destruction being wrought by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
