    Our best chance is that he gets one of these diseases that is effectively treatable with a vaccine.

    Thing is, even with that, he’d just take the vaccine and proceed to lie about it for profit. His father must be turning over in his grave.

    THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS

    Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it’s gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.

      You do know that rivers and creeks can go on for miles right? And that they will widen and narrow at various points?

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to “prove his point” about germ theory being wrong. But it’s inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.

        I get where you’re coming from, but in the interest of keeping my comment simple I left out that he claimed to be hiking in Dumbarton Oaks Park, which is not far (and downstream) from the picture I posted such that it wouldn’t be plausible that it would be that narrow.

        But I’ll also point out the level of incredulity my comment is getting on a social media site, vs. RFK Jr.'s, which should strike anyone familiar with Rock Creek as almost certainly wrong. Yet everyone in the whole news media is either willfully ignoring this or just too lazy to look into it. And honestly it pisses me off because this lack of giving a fuck about basic facts from reporters who we falsely imagine as being employed in reporting facts shows how much we’re in a post-truth society and why we got a con artist as our president.

        Funny enough not even Steve Jobs level money can save you if you prefer alternative treatments over modern medicine. Of course despite your stupidity you end up stealing a liver that actually someone else deserves more because you are stinking rich but even that does not prevent the inevitable.

      Steve was admittedly stuffed to the gills with booze and every drug available, and still is somehow more reasonable than this clown

      Steve-O would absolutely swim in a river of shit. He, however, would not allow children to follow him.

    I love that we’re literally going back in time. They thought we’d have flying cars and end world hunger, but instead we have to watch our politicians swim in shit water.

    Edit: HE TOOK HIS GRANDCHILDREN!?

    The fact that people have any thought that this guy is smart or a good person makes me hate humanity.

    Usually the people in charge of regimes like this are often sadistic hypocrites and absolutely know that what they spout is bullshit. RFK jr. here on the other hand, is apparently actually a fucking idiot.
