    Oh fuck, I hadn’t even thought of this chucklefucks views on this stuff. I’m totally going to lose my Adderall and then, shortly after, my job.

    Sending people to government run “wellness farms” in the country for “reparenting” doesn’t sound terrifying at all.

      Just to be clear that’s a pretty low blow. There’s so much fucked about the guy without going against addiction, which is a real and devastating illness.

        It’s about the hypocrisy. He’s had real addiction issues and considers blind-tested medicine to be the same. I don’t think anyone that has had a heroin addiction should ever be the top government healthcare voice, no matter their personal recovery. You need to earn that position and his past should completely disqualify him.

            Or anyone [whose] brain has been eaten by a worm.

            I feel like that should be on a questionnaire somewhere. “Have you done these drugs?”, “Is there a worm controlling your brain now?”, “Can we talk to the worm?”, etc

    I hope the hearing ask him about the worm controlling him.

    And then about the dead worm they found in his brain as well.

    I hate this country. If I didn’t have my son here with me, I’d try my best to get into Canada. I wouldn’t go without him.

      Assuming your son is a minor then as long as you can meet PR reqs for Canada you’ll often be able to bring them across with you. I will grant that if there are complex medical needs involved this gets a lot more difficult - but if you can get full citizenship then family members are much easier to get in.

    He gets Botox injections in his throat to help with his vocal cords. If only there were other ways that purposely getting injected with dead or weakened virus could help people.

    What I find hilarious about RFK, is that he’s supposed to be this paragon of health, with his spasmodic dysphonia, documented mercury poisoning, and history of heroin addiction. Also, while neurocysticercosis (most common brain worm) is common and is like the most common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in the developing world, DO NOT EVER take public health advice from someone with a history of a brain worm.

    His take on antidepressants is also like he wants people to raw dog the next 4 years.
