Way too many people are happy to believe comfortable lies as long as it suits them

If it allows them to avoid taking responsibility, adapting behaviour or caring about other people?

They will happily gobble anti-vaxx rhetoric

They want to believe sickness and disability can’t happy to them

They need to believe it’s a moral failing

They won’t “get it” until it happens to them. Some remain in denial even after falling ill

This anti vaxx chiropractor got measles and his four children all landed in the hospital

His kids suffered because he couldn’t face the truth

Here we go again. Time for live-fact checking, this time for #RFKJr. Tune in Tuesday and remember: #RFKlies #truthmatters. Spread the word https://energycommerce.house.gov/events/health-subcommittee-hearing-the-fiscal-year-2026-department-of-health-and-human-services-budget

They're deliberately teaching lies. Who does that?

@pupuweb perfect ! no need for #fluoride in toothpaste and water anymore I guess since people are willingly dumbing down their mental capacities 😅😅 #rfkjr #sarcasm

#RFKjr entschied am Expertenrat der CDC vorbei, dass #COVID19 #Impfungen für Schwangere nicht mehr empfohlen werden sollen. Er führte drei Studien an, die aber das Gegenteil des von ihm Behaupteten belegen. Paul Offit schrieb darüber.

Ich frage mich, ob RFKjr so deppert ist, oder ob er uns für so deppert hält.

@servelan unsurprising consider #RFK wrote a whole book about how #HIV doesn't cause #AIDS ("The Real #Fauci" or whatever)

#CookingOil #RFKJr

"We’ve outgrown the low-fat era of the 90’s (thank goodness!) but there is still a fair amount of confusion that exists around dietary fats, specifically what types of oils to choose. Some are good for you, some…not so much. When you’re choosing oils to cook with, it’s also important to consider the flavor and smoke point, which is the temperature where the oil starts to smoke and the fat starts to break down.

“The best cooking oil depends on what you're cooking and how you're preparing the food. For example, some oils offer more flavor, whereas some are more neutral,” says Sarah Anzlovar, M.S., RDN, LDN. She adds, 'From a health perspective, I look for oils that are rich in unsaturated fats—especially monounsaturated fats, like those in olive and avocado oils, and some polyunsaturated fats, like those in canola oil. These fats support heart health and may lower inflammation.'

There are quite a few options to choose from when it comes to cooking oils. How do you weed through what is fact and what’s made up by influencers on the internet? We took a closer look at the science to help you choose the best oils to cook with, and ones to limit in your diet."

@ProPublica Don't worry, that #idiot #RFKjr will break everything anyway. 🙄

"I'm hearing Republican donors. I'm hearing senators and members of Congress and staffers expressing deep concern about the direction we're going in. Many people embrace the chronic disease focus that RFK said he was going to bring, the focus on nutrition and physical activity, but so far, it's been vaccines, vaccines, vaccines. And any progress we make on chronic disease is going to pale in comparison to the harm done if we see the return of measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, and we see 50,000 people a year continuing to die from COVID-19."

Curious what data #rfkjr has used to back up his claims about food dyes 🤔

@PBSNewsHour @health-PBSNewsHour Yeah, how about that #RFKjr ? Best thing since the #PlagueDoctor 🙄

Andy Borowitz mentioned that RFK Jr.'s worm is now living in Kristi Noem's brain.
I f it is, she's putting it to better use, evidenced by her opposition to US involvement in the Israel/ Iran conflict.
It must be tough for her, being a MAGA, but not having Trump's ear.

"If someone would like to write it, I’d suggest #BillCassidy be Chapter One in Profiles in Cowardice. He can run from reporters, but he cannot hide from history. How does a lifelong advocate for #vaccination capitulate so readily to the king of the #antivaxxers?" @gregggonsalves pulls no punches on Sen. Cassidy's capitulation to #RFKJr

#RFK Jr. rejects cornerstone of #health science: #GermTheory
In his 2021 book vilifying Anthony Fauci, #RFKJr lays out support for an alternate theory.
It's important to note here that our understanding of #Kennedy's disbelief in #germ theory isn't based on speculation or deduction; it's based on Kennedy's own words. He wrote an entire section on it in his 2021 book vilifying Fauci. The section is titled "Miasma vs. Germ Theory," in the chapter "The White Man's Burden."

#Trump & #RFKJr are killing #Alzheimers #research:

**Approximately 146 AD-related #NIH grants, totaling $440 million, have been terminated.
**NIH funds to six Ivy League universities, where substantial AD research takes place, remain frozen.
** Postponed grant renewals have led to funding lapses, including at 14 Alzheimer’s disease research centers.

The #RFKjr crisis is a morality crisis. The #Autism crisis is a #HOA #GatedCommunity crisis.

People have taken away the Church, the baby Jesus with the bathwater. And for the record, I think The Bible is #Fiction - I think it is science fiction storytelling. I pick morality from Star Wars too.
