    What a stupid motherfucker. Anyone who voted for these venal clowns ought to be ashamed of themselves.

    Dumb son of a bitch doesn’t even understand that a vaccine is “giving someone the disease” without killing them. God damn are we devolving that fast?

    Not supporting this dude, but I watched the whole video and he never once said it would be better if everyone got measles. Maybe I missed it; if so, please correct me. He mentioned a waning effect with the vaccine vs full-blown infection, which I highly doubt is accurate (I’ll research it later), but that’s a massive stretch to get to the headline. He even recommended vaccines and said they will be available for free to anyone that needs them. I’ve gotten a little lazy in fact checking left leaning stuff because I always felt it was a little more trustworthy. I’m just starting to wonder how much I’ve been blindly accepting because it conforms to my biases.

      Thanks for watching it and writing this. Good to know it’s not as stupid as it’s made out to be.

      I’ve actually got fed up with left-leaning outrage news because any time I check it it’s twisted out of shape or plain wrong. I’m sure there’s plenty the same in right-leaning-outrage-news, I just don’t see it in the first place!

      I wish people who want a world of truth and science wouldn’t lie to get support.

        The written article also doesn’t say it would be better if everyone got measles. I listened to the interview long enough to see the article is quoting him accurately and fairly. At least for that.

        Then he spent probably too much time talking about vitamin A, and I didn’t listen to the rest

        It’s really just a lying outrage headline - from the written article

    Remember the conspiracy theorists who though “the government” was using Covid-19 to cull the population? I wonder what they’re up to right now.

    Measles also resets your immune system for every other thing your body already learned to deal with. No, it would not be fucking better.

    “The measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News.

    Wouldn’t it be great if there was something else that gave you protection against measles infection, without you actually having to have measles? If only …
