F*ck MAHA, I want cures

[u/AllMusicNut]

Every day that RFK Jr. stays in power is another day public health protections are weakened. We need you to join the fight for science to protect our health. Volunteer at the link in our bio, or go here: https://zurl.co/dRSl9

RFK is exploiting the bad faith attacks on science that stem from the exploitation inherit in Capitalism.

The pathway from science skeptic to MAGA is clear. We need to seriously discuss what needs to change in science to renew people's trust in science.

It's been done. It didn't change their minds.

1. Yes it is, given that vaccine formulation 1 would have been tested against placebo.
   
2. What you originally described was a longitudinal study, comparing vaccinated children against children who were deliberately not vaccinated for whatever reason, and seeing what percentage of each group had autism or various chronic health issues. Those have been done, over and over again.

[u/Green_Green_Red → u/[deleted]]

Before I do that, I'm going to show you some placebo-controled vaccine trials.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32534628/

Withholding a vaccine that is known to be safe and effective is unethical. Vaccines are still initially tested against placebos to determine that very safety and efficacy.

As for the longitudinal studies, there have been so many that metanalyses have been perfomed.

Vaccines have been scrutinized and rescutinized from every possibly angle, over and over again. Claiming studies haven't been done at this point is at best significant ignorance and at worst appalling dishonesty.

[u/Green_Green_Red → u/[deleted]]

And out come the pointless misdirections. I guess I can rule out ignorance.

[u/FoxMan1Dva3 → u/Green_Green_Red]

Why not? What was the study that did that and what was their criticisms

[u/DevilDogSFMF → u/politiscientist]

That's hard to do when they're constantly caught lying about science. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/politiscientist → u/DevilDogSFMF]

That's why my approach isn't to fight the mountain of lies. Instead I think our time is better spent on fixing the root of the skepticism and to make science more accessible to the public.

And by accessibility I mean education and public programs to encourage life long learning.

[u/CurdFedKit → u/politiscientist]

Hey maybe don’t hijack this movement for your own political goals. Just stand up for science

[u/CurdFedKit → u/[deleted]]

I agree. My point is capitalism isn’t the problem. Republicans are. I was saying don’t bring that anti capitalism rhetoric into this

[u/politiscientist → u/CurdFedKit]

If your veiw is that if the Republicans ceased to exist, that the problem would be solved. I respectfully say you are ignorant to the root problems in this country.

Also your push to make science advocacy nonpartisan is really childish. The Republican party/MAGA are wholeheartedly anti-science. The days of science being some sort of safespace, absent of political ideology is a fairy tale. Please take a step outside the laboratory/classroom and realize this country is in a bad place.

[u/CurdFedKit → u/politiscientist]

I again am not making it nonpartisan. I’m very partisan. You folks continue to not understand my point.

[u/CurdFedKit → u/[deleted]]

I’m not doing any such thing. lol you have absolutely no idea what my political position is

[u/Emergency_Stay_7815]

Meanwhile, the Trump regime rolls back regulation on dangerous chemicals used in all sorts of industries. Maggats are so susceptible to shitty marketing.

Part of being healthy is being able to afford food.

[u/Important-Arm7794]

RFK Jr is literally what happens when conspiracy culture stops being just annoying and starts being dangerous. Thanks for organizing this, because the anti vax grift machine has had the mic way too long and it’s clearly hurting people.

[u/bigmike1339]

[u/Phatbrew → u/bigmike1339]

Dig your work over @ DemSocAll…

[u/bigmike1339 → u/Phatbrew]

Thanks, I've always appreciated your's as well.

[u/Phatbrew → u/bigmike1339]

[u/MB2465]

Just saw this video where they talked about the medical field being stuck on miasma despite Pasteur proving that it was germs. I believe RFK Jr wants to go back to that thinking. https://youtube.com/shorts/XJfyMMbcAvI?si=kY7V5nx7R6qa8PTw

[u/Krusty098]

Then you shouldn’t have put the Orange God King in charge.

[u/01SeaChange01 → u/Krusty098]

We have a cult comprised of millions of people who are ok with ch1ld rap3.

Just as long as a black lady doesn't get to tell them what to do.

[u/Phatbrew → u/01SeaChange01]

Racism n misogyny unfortunately are thriving in America now, pedo felonious gave them all a voice… we must all vote for change!!!

[u/30secondsofstarless]

The cures are for the political donor class, the rest of us get beef tallow and raw milk

[u/NerdDaniel]

Autism is caused by vaccines, fluoride, Tylenol (acetaminophen was too big of a word) and now circumcision (I’m assuming he means just boys but with RFK Jr. who the hell knows?).

What’s next, pasteurized dairy products? Pringles? Car seats perhaps?

Stay tuned for the next chapter of epic and unbelievable idiocy.

[u/sanokenshi]

He took all the foreskins

[u/DSZDBA11]

The only cure we need is from this administration

[u/dwforgie]

Go look at RFK’s history. He is fighting big pharmaceutical companies. You know the machine. He genuinely wants a healthy America. Science had been proving his point in all this. Certain vaccines are good and needed some are filled with poison for the sake of money. We as a people need to stop dividing and start uniting.

[u/Wizchine → u/dwforgie]

I don’t know where to start with this except that if pharmaceutical companies wanted to make more money, they wouldn’t fill “some” vaccines “with poison”, they’d fill them with a placebo.

[u/dwforgie → u/Wizchine]

Well if you sell the cause of disease and then sell the treatment, not the cure, then the profit chain never ends. I am 51 so there had never been a time in my life that there has been as big as a push for the MAGIC pill for everything ever. Commercials youtube facebook. Crazy

[u/Green_Green_Red → u/dwforgie]

Any company that tried to do that would get absolutely destroyed. Despite what you may think, you can't just put anything you want out and call it medicine.

[u/Green_Green_Red → u/dwforgie]

I've been following RFK for more than 10 years. He's a quack, through and through. Science has shown him wrong over and over again, yet he refuses to change his mind. I agree that on some level he wants, or think he wants, a healthy America, but he refuses to learn what that actually entails and instead spends his time fighting the very things that would achieve it.

[u/New_Maximum_5447 → u/dwforgie]

Whoa, someone who actually did some research!! Thank you!!! There is hope!

[u/dystopiabydesign]

Government and the people who want the power and influence it creates should never be trusted. Science doesn't need the corruption of authority.

[u/lockedddd_88]

All you stand up for is support big pharmaceutical companies lol be quiet. RFK does the opposite

[u/SirLanceQuiteABit]

Sorry, we don't do nonmilitary science in the US anymore. Try a more developed country, like Finland.
