    Not just vaccines but mRNA vaccine. You can argue, the greatest discovery in the last 50 years. CRISPR is the only other challenger to the title. But guy that swims in shit knows better.

    Hopefully the pharmaceutical companies will set up and keep developing vaccines anyways. I mean, $500m isn’t all that much to a company like Pfizer.

      some of the pharmaceutical companies are from the EU, LIKE GSK, they will be fine on that end.

        im just thinking the futurama episode, where the worms are in every organ managing frys body, in rfk case not making him smarter and stronger, just using rfk as a empty husk for more worms.

    Who actually benefits from this? The only “goal” I can see here is intentional depopulation. But when the next pandemic hits, and there’s no vaccine for 3 years because research funding has been gutted, who will be left to work for all these rich assholes and sustain the economy all their money depends on?

    I just cannot fathom that RFK is such a demented narcissist so high on his own farts that he actually believes the shit that comes out of his mouth. There just has to be another endgame I’m not seeing. But what??

    Either they’re trying to kill us all, or the inmates are running the asylum except they think the asylum should be run like a business.
