In an interview with NBC News, the former president also said that a push by RFK Jr. to remove fluoride in water “sounds OK to me.”

    he’s aware the pharmaceutical lobby has deep pockets, so this is more like a ransom

    What happened to “my body, my choice?” I choose to put vaccines in my body.

          People mad at me for pointing out hypocrisy in what we are and aren’t allowed to put in our bodies?

            Dude, a massive chunk of this website is in favor of complete legalization. While I am also assuming their position on drugs, given where we’re at, my assumption is much more likely to be correct.

    Don’t stop there like some middling bitch. Require that all Americans be rounded up and injected with incurable, chronic diseases.

    As a display of Christ’s love for us all.

      He’ll announce his plan in 2 weeks.

      It’s always 2 weeks away.

    Hint of a major and disrupt health policy shift, not backed by any science, with a Trump-knows-shit-about-shit answer of “we’ll have to look into that” two days before an election. What a fucking guy this idiot is.

      These are not hints. He means what he says. The lunatic flat out said he’s going to put RFK, a rabid anti-vaxxer, in charge of the FDA.

      “I’m going to let him [RFK] go wild on health. I’m going to let him go wild on food. I’m going to let him go wild on medicine.”

    Of course, only no vaccines for the rabble. They themselves would still enjoy all the newest medical treatments.

    It may hurt a little at first. But soon you will all be succumbing to ailments modern science had thought were extinct. Just the way God intended it.

    He won’t. Big Pharma will pay him handsomely. They’ll pay him more to remove ObamaCare.

      They might figure they could make more money treating the sick than they could selling the vaccines.

    Abortion? States’ rights. Vaccines? Careful with that.
