MALILA!
(Make America Live in Iron Lungs Again)
Should we be making efforts to preserve guidance pages from cdc.gov, or do we trust that Internet Archive will survive through this administration to provide archived copies via wayback machine?
You won’t have to live in an iron lung if your health care provider refuses to cover the cost. See? The system works!
If there’s a file of this somewhere for me to archive, I’ve likely got space.
I’ve already got Wikipedia, medwiki and a few others in local files as I expect any fascist to destroy information and replace it with whatever suits their narrative
Not sure / not that I’m aware of. I was going to see if anyone was working on crowdsourcing an archive via scraping or some similar method. Does Wayback Machine let you download archives, maybe?
Let’s see if even Mitch McConnell would confirm this guy given that he had polio. Don’t have much faith though.
I think the GOP have already proven that they’d rather die than admit they were wrong.
*they would rather kill our children with preventable viruses than admit they were wrong
Surely this Republican who faced hardship won’t want anyone else to go through what he did.
Quick, someone lookup any owners of iron lung manufacturers. It will be one of these schmucks. Always follow the money
Indeed, Kennedy is a fuck nut.

Fuck this idiot piece of shit. Hasn’t even started and I’m so sick of this nation again.
Seriously. I’m going to be the most bitter and continuously angry person you’ve ever met by the end of this four years, and I’m not looking forward to it one bit.
Make no mistake though, I’m going to be so free with “aren’t you glad this is what you voted for” to magas in my family and at work that the schadenfreude alone will be enough to power a small city.
Don’t worry, they may only get two years, but the damage they can deal will probably last the rest of your life. And if you’re transgender, the rest of your life might even be done before the two years are up.
Reading the headline and it literally made me do the meme:

If my kid gets some kind of mutated polio that gets around his vaccine from this shit, I know who will be on a list.
Maybe they will drag him in court for that one day, for killing Americans in an un-American way, i.e. without bullets.
Buckle up for the next NYT headline:
RFK Jr is the real vaccination-class hero, not experienced nurses and doctors and hundreds of years of medical science
“RFK Jr: an iconoclast set to shake up a complacent public health establishment.”
“If progressives truly want to bring the surge of polio deaths in the United States to an end they will have to learn to be nicer to our wealthy friends.”
RFK Jr acknowledges health care system is flawed.
Bitch of it is that we almost drove that virus into irrelevant cycles. I think I read a couple of years ago that the UN believed we could declare victory on the disease by focusing on some suffering African areas. Who knew th at a western country of 300+ million would want to make iron lungs fashionable again? Sorry, Dr. Salk.
Bold of you to assume they won’t just send people with polio to extermination camps.
The country does not.
A batshit sliver of people do. One of them just happens to be appointed to the Department of Health and Human Services.
This is not a majority stance.
If the result is the same does the distinction matter?
Exactly. Viruses could care less if you’re a lunatic or not.
Yes. It means we’re in distress and need help
Help from who? What would that look like?
Well… The EU further increasing their regulations and punishments on US mega corps would be welcome. Official programs for medical tourism would also be nice, even in countries without universal healthcare the costs are cheaper even with a round trip flight to another continent
We also have a very impulsive and narcissistic manchild about to return to the white house. He’s deeply insecure and likes to project - if figures mock and laugh at him publicly enough from the right angle, he’ll respond. He’s a wildcard so it’ll be like hearding cats, but in the absurdist state of the country it could actually help us
Or it can be as simple as treating us like oppressed victims. The US as the land of freedom and opportunity is an image that holds us back… We’re not very free and we have very few opportunities (unless you’re rich). Chipping holes in that facade really gets to some people
We might be the largest military and economic power, but we’re largely brainwashed by optics, and so that’s a weak spot that can be exploited
The country had a chance to show that though. None of this is surprising.
In case it’s not clear enough, successful revocation means NOBODY can get the vaccine.
Wait it even the wealthy? Wonder how many wealthy babies need to suffer before the poors can get their world back.
Rules for thee, not the wealthy.
None. The wealthy can just take a trip to another country if it comes to that.
I mean once you have polio no amount of leisurely travel will cure you…?
But if you are wealthy you can take your kid to a doctor in Canada or something to get vaccinated…
I’m fucking moving to Canada if this happens. This is one of the best vaccines ever made.
Ah, a classic move by “the party of personal freedoms”.
Kennedy is an imminent threat to the health and safety of our children. I wish the worm would finish the job.
Just concentrate on the corn syrup you idiot. Pretty much everyone is on board with that.
And the legalization of weed.
yes. its amazing but there is a small nugget of win in some of their stuff.
You have fun finding those nuggets among the fun new slavery and lack of any future elections lol
um. u2. I guess.
A stopped clock…
oh you may not have realized but you accidentally put an l in there.
That industry will just buy out every room in every Trump hotel for a week and Trump will tell him to shut the fuck up or fire him and hire Joe Exotic.
He’s already got dr Oz lined up in the same position for when he fires Kennedy. I’d bet real money it’ll be on the order of 2 months, so mar 1 or so. He loves telling people they are fired, and he think episodically from 15 seasons of the Apprentice show.
Oh hey, more misinformation from this guy lol
You’ve got some hurt feelings from when we disagreed in another comment, dont you Jeff. You’ve got to let that stuff go. Your downvotes are not my fault.
If I was downvoted, I missed it. I’m just here to call out inaccurate information
