Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, has a history of extreme rhetoric and conspiracy theories about vaccines.

In previously unreported comments at autism conferences, Kennedy likened vaccination programs to Catholic Church abuse scandals and Nazi death camps and argued for jailing vaccine scientists.

He has falsely claimed vaccines cause autism and accused public health agencies like the CDC of corruption and hiding vaccine dangers.

Critics fear his leadership could dismantle vaccine safety efforts, decrease public trust, and disrupt public health policy.

    So, I’ve got a theory. I think the rich and powerful know that we are fucking the earth beyond repair. I think they know that the only way forward is to cull a huge portion of the human race.

    If you think about it. Automation has come to a point that 100,000 people could potentially run a high tech society with little effort and maintenance.

        Plus, a significant number of that 100,000 would just spend all their time traveling from factory to factory frantically repairing and maintaining all of that automated equipment. Sounds like hell.
