Vae, people are upset about that because RFK Jr. has a (

How do you suppose America is going to be healthy again if its population has weakened immunity to deadly diseases? I'm not trying to troll you; I'm genuinely curious why you think this is fine.

Not the way americans eat and (can't/won't/doesn't understand how) cure themselves, it's all on BIGPHARMA!!11111 (but Blackrock and the MIC are fine, mind you, and of course Tesla/SpaceX/ Neuralink, Elon is a Renaissance artisan not a greedy capitalist, nooooo.......)
Demo(N)cracy is so stupid.

The weak ones die, the strong survive fine and love Trump because they're love his narrative that reinforces their believes to be strong ones.
That's how the evil (narcissistic) system is stable and working.

Humans have existed for thousands of years without modern medicine, whose only purpose is to make money. When we die it's God's will. I heard that a lot during COVID. It's easy to say when you're healthy.
The RFK Jr. pick was expected after he ceased his campaign. His reactionary agenda is clear, but he's such a kook I don't know what to expect results-wise.

Antimarxists are SO marxist they can't even realize how much.
Nonetheless, why they don't apply the argument to Elon and Neuralink? Why a sudafrican special kid is so.....special to be immune to that argument?

Make vaccine-preventable diseases great again!

Because they believe Musk saved America by buying Twitter and pushing the Trump campaign over the finish line. They really do think Musk saved America.
But if Musk had worked for Democrats, he would have been vilified by the same people, because it's all about which team you're on, not what you have done.
Either way, Musk has been a pretty good American despite his eccentric adolescent behavior. Tesla and SpaceX have achieved a lot.

As crass as that all sounds I couldn't find anything inherently wrong with what you've said, even though it seems more of a sarcastic response.
I suppose that it is true that the strong ones survive and the weak ones die during pandemics. That sort of thinking is great if one wants to live closer to nature, but creating medications so the weaker ones can survive is what makes us different from animals.
I've wondered how well the vaccinations actually work myself but I tend to take whatever ones I can get. I did know a couple people that mostly likely died from Covid as they had it when they passed away, but they were not healthy people to begin with. One took the vaccine and the other didn't. I also worked in for a company where every single employee was a cyclist and all were reasonably healthy. The older ones like me that got Covid after getting the vaccine struggled with it more than the younger ones that got Covid. We all got the same vaccine though. Nature attempted to cull the older weaker ones from my work but the vaccine most likely saved lives, including my own.
Is it wrong thinking that people not taking a vaccine is a good thing? It's certainly a more natural way of living, if you are a caveman. Culling the weaker older generations would also save the government a lot of money in the long run.

I think it's emblematic of a generation who grew up without having to deal with people they knew dying of diseases like tuberculosis or diphtheria or pertussis. Ironically, the efficacy of those vaccines made it easier for people to believe that they'd didn't need them because they didn't have to contend with disease in their lives. An older colleague was telling me how her grandparents, who were farmers and lifelong conservatives, didn't hesitate to embrace new vaccinations because they had seen too many of their friends and family members die.
