Schmuck may be AIPAC's favorite arms dealers in terms of cash payments with the easily predicted departure of Genocide Joe Biden.
Is this pic from this week?
No. Not sure when taken.
bad in any case was just curious
It would be nice if RFK "actually" did something! He is paralyzed by his own ignorance and cannot see beyond his own limitations.
kennedy doesnt even know how to spell measles
He doesn’t know how to spell FDA
Let me guess ... @schumer.senate.gov wrote another "strongly-worded" letter.
2025: The return of measles and fascism
RFK Jr has no interest in health in terms of combatting disease or saving lives. His interest is rooted in his personal quest for vitality & virility by way of superstition, fetishism & junk science. He tans to a crisp, takes testosterone, & consumes parasites. But vaccines? Those will kill you.
> called on Did Senator Schumer not have the paper to write a strongly worded letter???
Oh for heaven's sake what is this deranged hysteria, more kids get shot every year in the US than ever die of measles
It is not hysteria when you have a newborn baby and they can’t be vaccinated against the measles because they are too young! It is also not hysteria when in 2000 it was declared eradicated in the US! One of the most contagious diseases in history! Vaccines work! Believe it or not! Ask Jonas Salk!
And before these so called vaccines we had measles catching parties, boomers are the last generation with fully functioning immune systems
I am a boomer and my mother never took me to a measles catching party! She believed in vaccines when they were available. I had 4 children and never took them to a disease exposing party either! Funny, they got their vaccines and never had any problems. 4 functioning fully responsible adults!
WE had polio only when I was a kid
there were no vaccines when I was a kid so we had parties to all catch them at once and avoid multiple quarantines, for such a so called infectious disease my older sister and brother never caught it, not did most of our neighbours or my parents or teachers, but I did get whooping cough after Vax
It is hysteria when we consider that the rich world whining about this allow 22,500 kids to die of starvation every fucking day and do nothing but cut food aid
Bro is more likely to start shooting heroin again.
And Bobby answered ???
Congratulations on your prominent role in all this, A. G. Sulzberger’s shit rag.
Fucked up future for USA
Proverbs 27:12 "The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty." In times of rising illness, may we act with wisdom and compassion, protecting the vulnerable and seeking the welfare of all through truth and responsible care.
Send a strongly worded letter.
RFK Jr does not work for Americans. WHO does he work for? Russia?
Kennedy's dim wit does not know what he is doing, and he is dumb.
All of these comments blaming Schumer are ridiculous. Dems have NO VOTES. Dems are doing what they can. If anything, this situation where one party has ALL three houses needs to be looked at.
With no mention of the glaringly obvious cause of the aforesaid emergency
Won’t happen. His job is to to kill old and sick people. And kids. He’s doing fine.
No emergency to me, I'm immune. I know who aren't immune though. This to me is a god given gift, no emergency at all.
My son doesn’t have the vaccine because he’s not old enough you fucking dickhead
If you have other kids of age I imagine they are vaccinated. Keep your son safe if he is not yet 6 months, even if you live in a normal town, maybe keep him away from church for a bit. I bet you are doing all this and he will be safe. Talk to your doctor about protecting him at 6 months.
You are right and I sorry, truly. I am very angry these days and I do not mean this for you or anyone similar. You obviously care about your son and intend to have him vaccinated bc you are not crazy. I imagine you don't expose your son to crazy ppl, churches or live in a fundamentalist area.
You can be vaccinated as early as 6 months if its warranted. Your son will be ok.
That will protect him for now, then after 12 months it will have to be given once more for lifelong protection.
Schumer “called on” RFK, Jr. to do something? Was it via a strongly worded letter? 🤦♂️ Calling on people to do things is a waste of time unless you have leverage over them.
He's not long been in the job and look at what's happened already....
Floods and plagues so far. Locusts might be next
All part of #BobbyBrainworms turning HHS into his own, personal Death Cult
#10 death of a first born You've already had pestilence on livestock (chickens) lol
This government is a failure, a failure on both sides. You have a rogue, sociopathic Republican regime and weak democrats. They tell you to follow the law when it’s lawless. Kidnapping and murdering people for a rapist, racist pedophile felon Trump. bsky.app/profile/ant3...
Oooh that’s gonna be a hell of a strongly worded letter
Also, he should resign
In a normal country someone like him would have never been sworn in
In a normal country, a domestic terrorist like RFK Jr. would be imprisoned to protect the public!
Modern medical science and public health policy eradicated measles by 2000. Now RFK Jr. has reinfected the public with this highly contagious disease. The verifiable proof is Samoa. This is effectively domestic terrorism perpetrated by the Kennedy Department of Health and Human Services! 😣
A Kennedy who spreads conspiracy theories is now supposed to lead the fight against a measles outbreak caused by conspiracy theories. That’s not irony. That’s negligence in a lab coat. 📜 dailyliesreport.substack.com/p/the-powell...
So Schumer wrote Kennedy a sharply worded letter? Schumer is basically a Trump dickrider.
If only there was something that people could have gotten that would've prevented this. 🤦🏽♂️
Let’s put it concisely, NYT: Republican policies kill people.
Good old Chuck, always there to tell your toddler to put down the knife without ever getting up to take the knife away.
RFK Jr declaring measles a public health emergency would basically mean taking responsibility for it... Which, in any case, he's unlikely to do.
RFK Jr. is killing Americans for no particular reason. Just cause a dead bear spoke to him, I guess? Maybe? Perhaps? If you can figure out his reason, let me know.
Wow, I'm starting to think the @nytimes.com shouldn't have worked so hard to put a bunch of anti-science fascists into power.
The leaders of NYT are enjoying the fire that is the US from their thrones of lies All by design Never to touch them They have less integrity than Daily Mail & other such "news" rags
The only declaration that RFK will have is that America has never been healthier.
His brain worm says no
RFK is an anti-science POS.
RFK Jr isn't going to do anything that makes any sense
At what point do you think they’ll realise they were wrong to make vaccines the ‘boogeyman’?
They know it. They'll never admit it, but they know it.
No. No emergencies. Just better leadership by people who aren't stupid for people who are stupid.
Also, Sen Schumer please resign. And take that human tequila bottle with you.
you mean "Freedom Freckles" as RFK is rebranding them? i can't WAIT until he starts telling everyone that Bubonic Plague is actually good for the population.
He looks like a fucking hollowed out gourd.
Politicians like Schumer shouldn't be lecturing medical experts like RFK jr.
Maybe writing him a stern letter will make him do it?
@nytimes.com: We don't need any more emergencies - we have the biggest possible emergency of all in the White House right now. And he needs to be arrested for multiple violations of the Constitution and being an unregistered Russian agent.
RFK himself is a national health emergency
It's ridiculous and a complete waste of money. Leave it to Republicans to increase unnecessary spending and then have no plan to pay for it.
RFK, Jr (and I guess the rest of them) don’t give a rats ass about what his legacy will be.
Better idea. Lean on hm to resign.
The GOP only declares emergencies that don't exist.
Why are you publishing Russian propaganda??? bsky.app/profile/igor...

I am not sure what Schumer intentions are here? It is my belief that he lives in an alternate world 🥲
Won’t happen. RFK would have to admit he’s wrong. Not done in the Trump administration.
Are we great yet? So much winning
“we’re all going to die”—joni ernst
I have teeth issues that are a result of having measles as a toddler whose permanent teeth were still developing. The ramifications will be continued far into the future for many of these kids.
No @schumer.senate.gov , you need to condemn RFKJrs policies in the most emphatic terms. It is a health emergency entirely by the “health secretary”. GET A GODDAMN SPINE!
Dammit, left out a word. “It is a health emergency created entirely by the “health secretary”.
He's going to claim it's caused by the vaccine. Watch.
🤣
Easy translation Senator Schumer is encouraging RF$$&K Junior to do his job
Rebirth of a nation by Darwin
Yeah fucking right haha
No fucking shit Sherlock.
Will childcare and schools still require vaccines? If not they are going to be a nightmare. With one hand they say they want folks to have more babies with the other hand they put them at accelerated risk of disease and death.What's next,a suggestion for those crazy chicken pox lollipop parties?
Traveling to Europe? Diplomatic staff? Or vaccine, or local test with 12 days of quarantine. US reduced to 3rd world country
Maybe he should have demanded Kennedy Jr. resign.
Take the bloody vaccine
chukky who?
I see good Christians wearing crosses. What I DON'T see are good Christians DEMANDING that Republicans stop wearing them too.
He should be calling - daily and loudly - for that anti-vaxxer nutbag's firing or resignation.
He wont since he makes money from vaccine lawsuits. What a disgrace of a human.
