    RFK is a skid mark on the Kennedy name. He knowingly snake-oiled ivermectin, counter to the data and extreme majority of medical professsionals. Don’t pretend it was an “oopsie- he was told the wrong thing!” That’s super disingenuous.

    He’s not even a good snake oil salesman. If you honestly believe the shit you used to defend him, I have some tickets to heaven I can get you for a killer discount lmao

      Ok for sure the ivermectin thing wasn’t smart. But it was the only alternative to the vaccine being talked about at the time. While that was a mistake, he does have a good point about pharmaceutical companies pushing out the COVID vaccines very quickly and making as killing in profits. Many people have reported serious permanent side effect to those vaccines. Maybe there should’ve been a bit more quality assurance or more tests to ensure there wouldn’t be any problems. Then again, it was in a period where the vaccine was absolutely necessary and as soon as possible. So… Yeah. We didn’t really have a choice.
