Peter GleickThose mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work?
The people who invented them got the f***ing Nobel Prize.
And they've saved literally millions of lives already.
Idaho buckeye@petergleick the super rich no longer need so many people in the country so we are at the start of an internal US genocide. Everything is being destroyed for the masses which will reduce the population. Seems obvious to me
Julescelt@idahobucks @petergleick I actually believed the movie Elysium was science fiction...not a manual for the rich.
Juho MäntysaloIn this case it's not about genocide, but the ruling class thinking their destiny can somehow be untangled from the rest of society.
The joke being that if such untangling would actually succeed, then it would be easy to remove them from society altogether. Put rocks in front of their hermetically sealed luxury vault and lose the map to it, and all that.
Cambirdsong@petergleick Figuratively and literally sickening.
FinchHaven sfbaNot going to fire up the wayback machine and really look up the background, but I'm pretty sure that the far-right moral panic about mRNA vaccines is the myth that somewhere in the ancient past there were aborted human fetal cells involved
Fast forward many decades and the 'moral' far right is still all in a lather because of yet another mass hallucination

Ouch! “Mengele in a Kennedy suit.”
Just the juxtaposition of those two names! 😐

Debbie Belair@petergleick These conspiracy theory folks will find any little negative thing to get an audience for the R wing.
It's true that they aren't what they should be and won't stop the spread of covid and that's probably what he's looking at.
However, it's better than nothing right now and it's a stupid move to stop them. He will be killing a lot of people.
This is where research is valuable. We have to keep on developing new ones otherwise this pandemic will continue.
Johnno@petergleick Every member of Trump's Executive Team has been chosen for two reasons. Firstly, they should not be a threat to him, exposing his abysmal ignorance. And secondly, for their utter incompetence at the job they have been asked to do.
Carolleisa@petergleick Bobby gonna show daddy he can make his mark on the world.
This entire cabinet is dangerous.
#Jungian thought “The Puer Aeternus-possessed man lives ….a “provisional life.” At a deep and perhaps subconscious level, he feels he has not entered “real life” yet.
As such, he’s in an endless holding pattern—hence the term “failure to launch” syndrome.
Sadly, his brain worm died. And now he no longer has a brain.
Because if he did have a brain he would not do these asinine things. 😠

My camera shoots fascistsAnd that monster will be the first to get any new mRNA vaccine from Canada or the EU when the next new disease shows up.
OldFartPhil@petergleick RFK Jr is a crank. The world is full of them.
The blame lies with the man who nominated him and the Republican Senators who confirmed him. If there was any justice in the universe, they'd all contract a debilitating disease that could have been prevented with a mRNA vaccine.
Andy Fletcher@OldFartPhil @petergleick lets see if we can think of a mad Canadian who is into bioengineering.
Oh hello "The thought emporium". :)

Alison Meeks@petergleick I wish for him epic chronic dysentery.
John Torres-O’Callaghan@petergleick framing is important:
The first Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed was a huge success, saving millions of lives. RFK Jr.’s sabotage will make sure Trump can’t do it again.
Joe@jocallag42 @petergleick Are you saying that RFK jr. is doing this on purpose to spite Trump ?
nini@petergleick can’t someone over at Modena just buy $1 million in Trump crypto already?
Chuck@petergleick The first death caused by his ‘policies’ should lead to a murder charge.
Cloudslave@petergleick his brain-worm is activating again.
MonarchLady@petergleick Sad and disappointed to hear this. I was a volunteer in the Pfizer mRNA flu vaccine trial. I had no ill effects other than a sore arm. I've not had flu since (I have kept up on other flu vaccines.).
Hambledown_Road@petergleick Bobby would be turning in his bloody grave.
KrazyKat@petergleick Nobel Prize? If THAT mattered, they’d have given to DONALD the FIRST already!
Excuse me please. I have to go vomit now.

Nicole ParsonsReminder, RFK Jr has a patron billionaire who bought him a cabinet position, Tim Mellon.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/02/robert-f-kennedy-jr-republican-donor-super-pac
Tim Mellon is one of the six dynasties funding Project 2025, Bradley, Koch, Coors, Scaife, Seid, and Uihlein.

Mellon is a xenophobic bigot who paid for the border wall & bought billboards about Venezuela.

Ylönën@petergleick Fascists don't care about facts.
Christopher Faille@petergleick But did any of those fancy-schmancy Nobel Prize winners ever get away with killing a bear and stashing it in Central Park? Surely we should be happy to have such a genius lead us toward health.
Frank Heijkamp@petergleick Fascists don't do facts. #fascistsDontDoFacts
Toni Aittoniemi@petergleick Yes. It doesn’t make any sense.
But none of this US government is supposed to, either.
It’s authoritarian, even if they don’t command like they used to. But this new libertarian authoritarianism is still about loyalty, like it always was.
You still demonstrate your loyalty more, the more insane and against common sense proposals you support. The more difficult the bullet is to bite, the more they know your loyalty is for them and not the issues.

Linda Sgoluppi Artist@petergleick I try not to have dark thoughts, I really do but there are times when I wish Karma would kick in, in a most poetic way for the likes of RFK Jr.

Paul 💙 28 💔 💚RFK Jr pulling the mRNA vaccine funding is not because the trump administration has no scientific background, is unaware of vaccines value and ignorant of the consequences.
It is because the they know the consequences and want them to happen
@petergleick power of the super rich.

"Investing in better solutions"?
But what can be better than a technique that took 40 years of work to be developed and on top of that is a huge hope on the fight against cancer?
RFK has never heard about immunotherapy?

Yes but the Nobel prize isn't American so doesn't really exist in MAGA land. Real Americans fight disease with thoughts and prayers. And guns.

Andrew J Spaulding@petergleick. The Qanon quack is just throwing out his conspiracies. He's not an authority on anything!
humourmetom@petergleick We can all thank Kennedy for saving us from living longer, healthier lives
Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@petergleick But surely the Nobel Prize is forrin and therefore commie and woke?
MarkR@petergleick RFK is man focused on actively being stupid. Should be sued for premeditated manslaughter.
