You first buddy!

Damn. If only there was a way to get protection against measles without having to get measles. Some sort of injection. That'd be useful.

Heroin really makes you focus too, it’s great for long study sessions.

Hand picked by the president to be the best person for the job for leading the dept of health.

It’d be better if you were an obscure and unimportant member of the Kennedy family and stayed that way.

Ask not what your immune system can do for you, but what you can do for your immune system

The dems really need to appoint a shadow cabinet and hold press conferences with fact checks and useful advice about how to get vaccinated.

I'm glad that I am science literate and live close to the canadian border.

• Measles estimated case-fatality rate: 1.3%
• Estimated US population: 346,715,067
• Measles deaths if everyone in the US got measles: 4,507,295
• Upper limit on estimated MMR vaccine caused anaphylaxis: 0.000066%
• Anaphylaxis case-fatality rate: 0.3%
• Estimated vaccine-caused fatality rate: 1.98 * 10^-7 %
• Estimate vaccine-caused fatalities avoided by not vaccinating US population: 0.69
• Net increase in fatalities from switching to measles natural immunity for everyone in the US: 4,507,294

So it would only be better if he wants an extra 4.5 million Americans to die.

"the vaccine is useful for some protection and for other people it wanes"

Yeah and the measles makes some people immune and for some people they die.

Edit: also, what kind of argument is that in the first place? "Yeah well sometimes it provably provides a positive benefit to people's lives in a statistically significant way, and sometimes it's neutral with no downsides????"

Brainworms like measles.

He’s so gross.

Roald Dahl's wight, kill this man.

That would remove a lot of vaccine skepticism

We did that, we gave everyone a very mild, usually symptomless, case of the measles. We called it vaccination.

"Dont trust the medical institutions until you're sick" is just the self-harm logical extension version of the plague of right-wing myopia of broke self-reliance americanism and detriment individualism. American culture is completely unsalvageable

At what point do we get to demand hazard pay from our employers for going into the office?

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?

Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

No RFK, things would be much better if YOU got measles

With you gone, people could vaccinate again and then they wouldn't get sick, you worm for brains

Yes, the old strategy of overwhelming the hospital system with mouth breathers.

Amazing strategy, Raisinhead.

“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 ...

United States Secretary of Health and Human Services here everybody.

We are in such a crazy timeline.

This is the kind of shit you'd see on some forum. If the forum was moderated, they'd eventually get booted.

When I was debating fucking morons like this, I never suspected that one of these assholes would be put in charge of our fucking health. It's just so insane.

Let the entirety of the US have measles, and a good percentage will die, another good part will be scarred for life and have disabilities from it and the country will collapse

I think RFK is the Horseman of Plague. Guess the role of Famine goes to Musk, and War belongs to Trump. I am not yet sure who is Death, but they will reveal themselves soon enough.

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

Fuck this assclown, my wife is allergic to the measles vaccination and will likely die if she gets the disease.

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

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.

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.
