+1 MAGA/ Antivax cult of stupidity |
Hearing libs say things like “brain worm” and “Drumpf” as though it’s hilarious is like watching that lady in pink call trump a dotard |

They’re citing a non-peer reviewed study which has selection bias. Sick, and making us all sicker. |
I am somewhat nonplussed about that this is the rejoinder. That it is not peer-reviewed is precisely the point; the authors were (supposedly) too scared to try to publish it. The selection bias point is an important one, but people are wielding the phrase like it is conclusive. It really is more nuanced. On the one hand, it is easy to imagine (1) that the unvaccinated are more suspicious of the medical establishment and (2) people who see the doctor get fewer diagnoses for reasons other than health. On the other hand, it’s also true that healthier people go to the doctor less often, and, besides, many of the conditions of interest (like ADHD) are *not* diagnosed by a routine doctor visit. |

Maybe if you're easily impressed, sure. Listening to testimony from experts doesn't confer subject matter expertise. It doesn't bestow knowledge of the theory and principles undergirding vaccines. It's like claiming expertise in detective work because you listen to a lot of true crime podcasts. Not the first time that a lawyer fancies himself an expert in an unrelated field, and it won't be the last, but it's still disappointing, and maybe even more disappointing that uncritical rubes are lapping it up. |

The Marsh Family delivers:
Parody of Simon and Garfunkel: “We”ll see measles and polio down by the schoolyard, mumps and rubella down by the schoolyard…” They are genius but makes me want to weep. |
I’m sorry you think RFK jr is not garbage? Not to mention he’s not qualified for the job and he’s a liar |
| MAFA loves to breed it’s going to be fabulous when they have no health care and polio |
Why isn’t he qualified? |
It's not hilarious. It's really sad that a horrible heroin addict with absolutely no training is making medical decisions. |
What training does he lack? He has literally the same degrees as his predecessor. |
I know this is an old thread. I am reading “Housemaid”with my book club. Then I thought of this politician. |
Becerra was on the House Ways and Means Committee when he was in Congress. He worked on health legislation. Kennedy took drugs and is anti-vax. Hmmmm |
