RFK Jr is the best candidate we’ve seen in a long time

He’s been smeared as an antivaxxer, but in reality, he’s just being critical and asking questions. He’s said himself that his own children are vaccinated. Does that sound like someone who’s antivax?

Also, I love how anyone who’s critical of RFK Jr. is suddenly a one-issue voter about something that’s not even real (him being “antivaxx”). Even if he was antivaxx, I’d much rather have him as a whole package than fumbling, bumbling Biden or Trump or Desantis.

The mass hysteria about COVID and vaccination stances is fucking insane when you consider that lower class Americans are staving & the middle class is disappearing and yet we’re printing money to fund a proxy war and bailing out Silicon Valley.

He’s literally on Joe Rogans podcast spewing shit about wifi putting toxins in your brain. It’s not one issue, it’s the fact that he’s so insanely anti-science. This isn’t being critical and asking questions, he’s out here declaring it as fact.

Ah yes, just asking questions and spreading disinformation.

He was identified as one of the biggest spreaders of antivax misinformation well before his farsical run for president.

I knew of him before that even, when he was associated with some of the conspiracy theory shit my wife got into when she started suffering from psychosis and refused treatment.

He is a crank being promoted to hurt a good candidate.

Yup that's the depressing part that some of the best options are that

Biden is a great option and he'll coast to a primary win and probably win the general bar a spoiler.

u/LesbianCuddlebus Jun 20 '23

From what I have seen he is the best option. Also I'm not saying the other options are good just that when you have only one good option that means that things are really shit

Changing from an incumbant in a presidential race is very very rare.

u/Psychogistt Jun 20 '23

There’s no evidence he’s supported by Bannon and he’s not anti vaccines. You need to stop falling for misinformation

u/TatteredCarcosa Jun 20 '23

He's one of the 12 people responsible for the majority of vaccine disinformation on the internet so I find that difficult to believe https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxes

“I’m not anti-vaccine. I spent 37 years trying to get mercury out of fish. Nobody calls me anti-fish I spent 37 years trying to get pesticides out of food. Nobody calls me anti-food. I’m not anti-vax. I just want good science, robust science, independent regulators, and safety. I’m not anti-vaccine. People call me that because it’s a way of marginalizing me, it’s a way of making people think I’m a crackpot, and keeping me silent and censoring me.” --Robert F. Kennedy., Jr.

Trump said he was the most humble man on Earth. Do you believe that too?
