I'm beginning to think that he was diagnosed as being on the spectrum. Add in OCD and his hard drug use and childhood trauma and you get one entitled sick puppy.
 
They are eugenicists.

If one disease killed 75% of all 110-year-old men with a dozen other health conditions it infected, while another killed 75% of able-bodied 30-year-old men it infected, which would you be more worried about? Be honest!
 
It wouldn't surprise me if he is still using. His family sounded the alarm, and the old guy leaped at the opportunity to capitalize on the Kennedy name to legitimize his grifting and criminal presidency.

Are you arguing that there are good diseases because they mostly kill only older people? What a weird position.

I suppose that’s one way to reduce Social Security costs.

If any disease starts spreading that kills off 75% of those infected, we have a serious problem on our hands.

Especially with the likes of Trump and RFK in charge.
 
"COVID isn't a big deal because it only kills the infirm and old" won Donald SO much senior support back in 2020, maybe RFK figured it was worth another shot.


Trump’s Closing Message to Seniors: I Don’t Care If You Die

“It affects elderly people,” Trump said of COVID. “It affects virtually nobody.”

Older voters flee Trump, solidifying Biden's edge in the 2020 race

The Democratic nominee has courted seniors by presenting himself as a steady, competent leader who would listen to scientists and develop a national plan to combat the coronavirus.

The entire cabinet are people in need of serious help, especially the guy at the head of the table. They are all sick puppies, unloved as children; acting out as adults. They probably call the cabinet meeting, "Group."
 
Only the best for the Donald.

Totally dishonest comparison. Hyperbole to this level does not provide any valid point.
 
It killed a lot of people of all ages. I was part of the research angle of it, and I was terrified for a year or two that it would take me out before my kid would even really remember me. When I got the first vaccine, I sat in the parking lot and cried. Then I drove home and kept living.

wow

if you're under 29 years old .... 14 out of 100,000 were dying of covid. what % is that? and we know being obese/out of shape was a big contributor ... so a person even 39 years and younger in good shape had maybe what, 20 out of 100,000 chances of getting covid bad and dying?

you were terrified ?

Your first line was bullshit, so I didn't read the rest. Have a nice day.

Can we just admit that nepo affluenza rots the brain and right-wingers are just ****ing weirdos who exist in their own brain dimension?

if you want to stay uneducated - that's your choice

but the statistics are what they are - anyone under 39 years old had an exceptionally small % chance of getting covid and dying from it

39 of 100,000 ..... that's 0.039 % chance and if you're healthy, in good shape, no underlying conditions ... its likely 1/2 that number of more



again I ask - you were "terrified" ???
