Cause saving everyone’s lives for the sake of saving lives is not profitable and woke.

Fucking morons.

    The cons have always been idiots about world organizations, but I think Covid completely broke their brains when it came to issues of health.

    The anti-vaccine bullshit combined with unhinged nativism and conspiracy theories about Fauci and Wuhan, etc…

    And now we have a complete dumbass like RFK jr trying to deny Americans vaccines and push even more protein onto Americans.

    JFC.

      Much of the fundies’ religion originated from tent-show snake-oil merchants. They’re rubes. You can’t maintain that level of gullibility and also know how to deal with science.

      In 2020 Daszak was named by the World Health Organization as the sole U.S.-based representative on a team sent to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

      An open letter co-authored by Daszak, signed by 27 scientists and published in The Lancet on 19 February 2020, stated: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin…and overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife.”

      In May 2024 the United States Department of Health and Human Services suspended all federal funding for Daszak and the EHA, saying that he did not properly monitor research activities at the WIV and failed to report on their high-risk experiments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Daszak

      Americans are convinced we are one carb heavy meal away from protein deficiency starvation.

        LOL, yeah.

        I’m bracing for things to get even stupider in my conversations with gym bro nutritional experts that take it upon themselves to go macronutrient-splaining how I’m not going to be able to sustain myself on a diet I’ve been eating for decades, LOL.

        It was already quite stupid already.
