So that's why they moved Maxwell to the same summer camp as Liz Holmes. It's Theranos 2.0

Let me guess, chatgpt told him he's a genius and his vaccine will save the world.

Good one, but thankfully ChatGPT is much smarter than that.

Good one, but unfortunately not. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/t...

It's been 30+ years since my last graduate-level virology course, but I was virtually certain this was the case

the worst part is that there was a vaccine we were working on that was kinda close to the thing he's describing, except less stupid! it was mRNA vaccines! AND WE FUCKING CANCELLED FUNDING ON THEM!!

There you go again, combating fiction with facts. 😏

We will not only defeat the phylum, we'll defeat the pheelum and the pholum too!

I will not be putting that in my body.

MY. God.

I am very pro-vax, but I'm not getting a fking THING that comes from his "science."

🥜He is nuts.

This is ALLLLL the Miller and Nutlick show right now.

I am so tired of these guys. We are all tired of this show.

The world will end not with a bang but a wet harsh cough

My outrage is pretty fatigued at this point, but occasionally, somebody says something so ignorant about a topic I am personally interested in that it makes me fully and irrationally pissed off again.

Ok, but how about letting people continue to have access to the real vaccines until you can produce the fictional vaccine?

Sad thing is there was progress on an mRNA that would work against a wide range of coronaviruses, not just COVID-19 but many of those implicated in the common cold. Which, I mean, would have been less grandiose, but also, um, real.

Even if you wanted to be generous and say he was only talking about coronavirus and influenza he would still be wrong. They are classified in two different phyla.

Did you ever hear the recording that Donald Trump made with Bob Woodward. Bob Woodward says he asked to record everything he talked about how the coronavirus was very dangerous because it can spread so quickly. Of course, on top of the fact that at first it was very deadly.

the “vaccine “ is giving everyone brain worms. it wants to breed.

No lol, it's nonobvious that they're even properly described as a "kingdom," they're not a part of the usual taxonomic tree at all

that was my thought…it’s hard to even categorize viruses as living things

I thought they had their own realm or something? It's been a minute since the last bio class.

They aren't even living things, strictly speaking

Where do you think you would you put RFK Jr. at this stage in his development, especially given the subject's large chance of unusual forms of pathogenic symbiosis and horizontal gene transfer, in the usual taxonomic tree?

Lol who knows man

He’s more Cordyceps than man at this point

Even if it was safe to isolate him for further study, could we even trust any nation who has the facilities to do so, to not weaponise RFK Jr's personal biome even further, for hideous and terrible ends. This is the dilemma.

ontology recapitulates lobotomy

Lol

consequently as soliloquy the ontology of having a bottle in front of me rather than a full frontal lobotomy is a monstrosity

*rfk jr voice* proprietary beef tallow substrate

*rfk jr voice* You see. We poison the population, so we kill, the bat man. He’s in the population

I will be severely disappointed if this magic elixir isn't a main ingredient at cracker barrel in 2 months

low and slow vaccines

Rfk Jr doing the Orson Krennic voice.

Deep Substrate Foliated Beef Tallow

Nutjob is just hammering away at the excess population with his Lysenko blaster...

bleach kills like 99% of germs and viruses. We are getting bleach shots. #maha

I would never ever trust any vaccine that this insane regime mixes up.

We learn this in 9th grade Biology. Viruses are not living organisms so they have no phylum.

With what money? He cancelled all of it.

I can hear vaccine scientists' heads exploding everywhere in the world...

Anyone who would take that is a fool. I am 100% pro vaccine. Just one ones RFK Jr the idiot wants developed

So it turns out experts actually do know what they're talking about and clueless conspiracy theorists don't.

Thanks to Trump, America now has it's own Trofim Lysenko.

That's the heroin talking

Is it disinfectant? Almost like a cleaning?

That sounds like that could be dangerous... it's not hard to make things that kill life. The problem is you want to kill the offending organism without killing the person it's injected into. If that wasn't a concern, you'd just inject chorine into somebody (I do not advocate that unlike Trump)

Hahaha. Oh boy. I don’t think many viruses have phylum classification. Let’s give RFK a freebie and assume we kind of know what’s he trying to say here. Now we gotta figure out if we are talking 7-9 shots or 15+! Virologists can’t even decide how to group their own specimens. It’s a lot of 💉

I could swear they taught this in torts.

My dad is a virologist and when I was about 10 I asked him if viruses were alive ... and he could not answer that question.

It's like being governed by the Nazis, but also the Nazis all have the IQs of mollusks.

A simple AI search “No, viruses are not typically classified into phyla like cellular organisms.” And this guy has an education ?

Worm of the year.

Interestingly RFK Jr. composes two, vertebrate and parasitic flatworm.

Also, NIH is not doing any vaccine research.

He's an idiot!

Yeah I said to him, just make the whole plane out of Black Box.

Juvenile diabetes? Hysterical pregnancy?

Oh jesus f christ.

JfC, they're going to inject us with Ivermectin, aren't they?

Fractally wrong, as usual from the alternative medicine crowd.

I thought viruses weren't any phylum - I thought they weren't really alive. Just self-replicating proteins.

Self-replicating proteins are prions. In virus the important part is the nucleic acid. The ICTV classifies the virus using a parallel hierarchy starting by realm and phylum (same word, different meaning). The Baltimore classification uses the nucleic acid, number of strands and replication mechanism

Ok, thanks for the clarification. So viruses aren't considered living but they do have phyla anyway, is that correct? I'm old enough to have been taught everything is either a plant or animal and then🤔🤔 bacteria took over the tree of life and now this. Never stop learning.

Correct, as per the ICTV taxonomy ictv.global/taxonomy. I’m also old enough, but I do science outreach and I’ll maintain myself more or less up to date 😊 Keep that curiosity, antidote for stagnation!

Ley me clarify further: nowadays, people usually talk about cellular life and non-cellular life; the latter includes viruses and prions

Does "miasma" theory of disease include viruses or are those part of germ theory? I would imagine opposing gases would be necessary to combat miasma, or big ass fans.

bigassfans.com

The Germ Theory is no longer acceptable.

It's amazing what you can accomplish with First Principles thinking. "Why don't we cure all diseases at once?" Brilliant idea, sir!

But have you considered that phylum is a science word, which he knows because he is very smart in science.

I realize that not everyone takes, say, AP bio in high school, but how could anyone be stupid enough to utter nonsense like this at face value?

It’s so dumb.

Feels like the start of “28 Days” or “World War Z” or something…

I've never seen so many issues.

That video was posted 18 hours ago, is the only source I can find for RFK making this massive announcement, and the video is so low quality that lip movements are indiscernible. I think it may be a fake.

www.adn.com/politics/202... Yeah, no direct quote here, though some mention of universal vaccines

I thought that was Murkowski.

I think there are actual two universal vaccines under research and they're not widely hailed as promising efforts: kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Are you kidding? Kennedy is not a doctor. He’s an anti-vax quack and a liar. bsky.app/profile/eliz... from ProPublica

www.adn.com/politics/202... Granted, the article only quotes that he's going to be shifting funding to a "universal vaccine", but it is consistent within that context for that to be something he said.

Welp!

🤦‍♀️🤬

Waste, fraud and abuse in the flesh

He meant file folder, binders of viruses. Viri. Like xylem. Because we get folders from trees, which are made out of wood fiber, not brain worms. As I was saying,

I'm sure RFK Jr just learned that word before the announcement. still has no idea what it means.

"Phylum" isn't used for viruses. Viruses are classified into realms, kingdoms, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. The term "phylum" is part of the hierarchical classification system for cellular organisms, such as plants and animals. Apparently RFKjr flunked high school biology. Idiot.

Non-viruses are …

Sometimes I feel like we’re in the remake of Being There, only it’s the horror version.

I trust gas station sushi more than RFK, Jr.

Oh good. I was really worried I might catch a phage.

Wouldn’t they be a kingdom or super kingdom?

😂😂😂😂😂

Though with this lot, we're more likely to be on the path to something out of the Umbrella Corporation.

It will cure pedofilia and exonerate our dear leader too!

In honour of my forthcoming HVAC instalation, to-morrow I shall be cleaning out the icebox and freezer - the Icebox Phylum needs to be investigated. Federal funding has been re-directed from both FEMA and Agricultural Extension services.

Ffs stupidity is going to kill this country.

I thought they hated the infant vaccine that rolls up 3 vaccinations in one (can’t recall the name).

MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) and TDaP (tetanus, diptheria, pertussis/whooping cough), and maybe others.

Thank you! I thought one might be TDaP, but wasn’t certain enough to write it.

Even if a viable option, which we know its NOT, can you imagine the side effects of such a vaccine?🤣

"Kennedy's plan to harvest cream cheese from the moon via a giant vacuum hose is limited by the fact that the moon is not made of cream cheese, among other issues."

He’s as crazy as trump

They need a Brain Worm vaccine

Details … details …

Is there a vaccine for this virus in the GOP?

Yeah, but it only comes in a .50 caliber injection

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I would say test he should test it on himself first, but then I remembered he swam in a sewer river, so...

The #Idiocracy is here and it’s stupid weird!

The universal vaccine is electrolytes!

Doctor Kennedy's Magical Elixir, just two dollars the bottle

Can we PLEASE get the adults back in the room?

The Brainworm is active again.

gah!! 😖🤦‍♀️ Trump regime full of the most ignorant, corrupt, unfit people!! people are going to suffer & die because of them 👿☠️

RFK Jr: "Fee-fi-fo-phylum."

Interesting that the guy who hates vaccines says he wants to develop a vaccine. I call bullshit.

Thankfully, highly acclaimed Doctor Bob is on the case.

The idiot will offer essential oils.

Every day that man provides more evidence that he understands NOTHING.

This is mental illness. Kennedy is experiencing delusions of grandeur very similar to when Terrence Howard told us he had proven that basic arithmetic was wrong.

Is it too much to ask that the secretary of HHS pass 7th grade biology?

He thinks the Golgi Apparatus is a sex toy.

Goddamn, the stupidity is staggering.

He's such a fucking dangerous asshole.

Facts schmacts. It’s the brain-worm-addled’s magic univax world.

He’s drunk, drugged, or brainless.

(d) all of the above.

Correct! A+

Side probably gonna tell us he found the ark of the covenant next and it has some super cure

The intended vaccine would center around a group of viruses including influenza and novel viruses.

I did hear from a Dr./Scientist today that an mRNA combination vaccine is being worked on, if funding continues. Either from Vin Gupta or someone on Pod Save America today.

I bet it can be found in your kitchen too! Just mix some cayenne with cardamom, maybe a dash of cinnamon and, look, it may be tough to get down at first but then you have an everything vaccine! Easy.

I think the organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar is an essential component.

Okay, so the folks that spent five years panicking about vaccinated people “shedding” spike proteins unique to the COVID virus now think they are all exactly the same?
