That's not RFK Jr. talking. He died long ago. His body is being controlled by the worms.

I think the worms are the most intelligent part about the guy.

This was the worms' plan all along: finally revenge on the chickens.

I guess that would succeed in killing off a bunch of the elderly and infirmed, which be a huge savings to Medicare and social Security, so it's a win-win right?

/S if it wasn't implied already

That is exactly how the Nazis in charge are thinking about this. They assume they'll make it through because they're constitutionally superior, while the weak die and are no longer a burden on the Übermenschen.

So “do nothing” is his answer to bird flu and measles?

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Everyone who survives will be immune.

That's the whole logic. It was awful enough with Covid's 1% mortality. Measles only kills about 0.1%. Bird flu kills 90-100% of infected birds and 50% of infected humans. And there's plenty of lasting/permanent deficits short of literal death. They're psychopaths.

Oh cool, so this world ensure it spreads to humans. Would could go wrong?

Anyone have the quotes handy on how they want to destroy the country and rebuild as feudal kingdoms?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

Genius.

That’s just about got the whole zeitgeist sewn up.
