Just a Reminder That RFK Jr. Thinks Poppers Cause AIDS

https://www.yahoo.com/news/just-reminder-rfk-jr-thinks-180648929.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJJv8AVvytueM2ZIaZb3jTyVI4dTBNqm7eDS7t-L4KiuNQhPLGOlkzHUtHiRq7fescaOKqbE4_MT-PXU2TpIlvPpO1mQJDJu9gcbnVJlJ9Xf5VIWg3dS6mn-k0NCTWlYg6631v65bgE2g2yFZ_NBAaKXmheljvWoF9JeNBQtElQD

As journalist Justin Ling observed last year, Kennedy has enthusiastically promoted an untrue link between poppers and AIDS at least since his 2021 book The Real Anthony Fauci. In that book, Kennedy frequently cited the long-discredited work of AIDS denialist Peter Duesberg, falsely claiming that “heavy recreational drug use in gay men and drug addicts was the real cause of immune deficiency” among AIDS victims of the 1980s and 1990s. Kennedy went on to write that he had never “found any evidence that HIV ever actually kills a T-cell,” asserting that the connection between HIV and AIDS was itself the product of a medical conspiracy with former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci at its head.


He's even more of a piece of shit than I thought possible.

If he was Bob Jones, jr from humble beginnings though it would be like nine people on the planet circling their little wagons for him.

Being the lesser son of greater sires carries him even here, maybe particularly here.

Nostalgia.

Mordred comes to mind.

(Although that may be partly because I just came here from Siwsan's post of Merlin.)

He has no fucking medical background and pulls "science" facts from his ass.

Also, I love how the very first thing Trump appointees want to make America great by firing thousands of federal employees and eliminating all social security net services. Granny in Arkansas thinks it's hard to afford food now, wait until her social security income gets slashed. Johnny Veteran thinks the VA will continue to pay him disability? Think again. People are going to be devastated by these cuts if they're able to get them through.

And wish the Kennedy curse would have gotten him instead of the better men in the family like his dad, uncles, and cousin.

What a real piece of shit loser not worthy to be the son of a great man.

Disgusting human being, of course orange man loves him.
