See, you're thinking with logic. That's your problem.
What we are witnessing is a coordinated effort to sway public opinion to continue the gravy train that the drug companies have been living on for who knows how long.
Last week I was listening to a clip from NPR where they were clutching their pearls about this topic and they had a great chance to dispute RFK's actual reasoning. What did they do instead? Lied about him and smeared his character.
That sort of stuff may work on people that already don't like someone but it is very weak to me. If someone is so wrong that it is as absurd(this is what critics of RFK say), you shouldn't attack them. You should refute them. The problem is they can't.
Now, I'm not defending RFK. I disagree with him on several things but the point here is one I don't disagree with. The US government has been printing money for these companies long enough. Not to mention the protections they have against lawsuits from victims from their products. Most people still have no clue that companies can't really be sued for the damages their products cause.
This whole anti-vax things really annoys me. RFK and anyone that even hints that they have a brain is called anti-vax. Its absolutely absurd. The insinuation is that there is only two positions. Vaccines are safe and they are dangerous and don't work. Imagine thinking every medicine is "safe". Whatever that means. Its absurd. Most treatments have trade-offs. People like RFK have been asking touch questions for decades and the responses to them tell me that they are on to something. There's a sick relationship between industry and the regulators.
What is most funny to me is that the media has smeared RFK for being anti-vax and is still doing this. Now with this announcement which cuts funding for MRNa, we learn that traditional vaccines are not being cut. Hmm, that's weird. He's not cutting that. Seems like an anti-vax guy would do that. Well, every time I have ever seen RFK he says he is not anti-vax. He just wants the truth out there and for people to have choices and the power to hold the industry accountable. See, that sounds reasonable. Not crazy. We can't have that. RFK is a nut.
Bottom line though. RFK is a dude. He doesn't matter. I don't care about him at all. He's just the guy that shows us the game. How you are attacked if you threaten the system. When you see the system attack someone like him you know they are on to something.
