It's not hyperbole to say that some people you know and love will become sick or die because of what the Republicans did here.

RFK Jr. confirmed, elevating anti-vaccine activist to nation’s top health post

The Senate held a final vote on whether to approve Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services secretary after a three-month confirmation fight.

The Washington Post
@petergleick well, that mirrors the 1st Trump presidency very well then.
@mt @petergleick Yes, because nobody died during the Biden administration.

@petergleick What Trump & his puppeteers are doing there is an insult to the mentally sane nation & its government, ridiculed by a grotesque selection of completely unqualified seat-taking laughingstocks, whose only relevant "qualification" for Trump's (horror) "cabinet" would be, that (out of gross ignorance) they won't invoke the 25th Amendment to clear presidential office of a dementing psychopath & national security threat, abused by the authors of "Project 2025" & beholden to the Russian dicktator.

@petergleick to be fair, that won't happen to me because most of them already died from not having health insurance in the last few decades.

@petergleick @briankrebs

The Kennedy's lobotomized the wrong one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@darryl_ramm
That was offside... but very funny!

@ErinMC2

Yes I hated myself for that, for oh seconds...

@petergleick Honestly, my first thought after hearing this was that I should probably be getting my affairs in order.

@petergleick

All of us. They want to kill all of us! One way or the other. They want us gone.

@petergleick #PMJT we must protect Canadians against unvaccinated Americans coming into our country.

@petergleick

It will mostly be children.

Disfigured or dead.

@petergleick That has always been the point. These people were all chosen because they were the worst possible choices for each government agency. The Kremlin is behind it and RFK Jr is the equivalent of an ICBM actually hitting us.
@petergleick Send more live worms. It might improve plaque blocking sane reasoning.

@petergleick
But none of these will be Republicans, right?

No?

@petergleick sadly, many republican voters will not understand until their vote costs them a loved one.

Caliious as it may be, it is the duty of intelligent folks to rub it in their faces

@Jam123 @petergleick It's not callous at all. These folks need a wakeup call.
@Scienceisnotopinions @petergleick I suppose some part of me was trying to be civil
@Jam123 @petergleick You would be doing them a favor, at the end of the day.
