Meanwhile, you’ve got maga morons pushing for more babies. WHY….would anyone want to bring a child into a disease ridden world, where they can get sick and die a horrible torturous death? Fuck EVERY ONE of these monsters. I pray they rot in the bowels of hell

My dad had polio as a kid, they were so poor he never saw a doctor. An orthopedic surgeon asked him years later if he’d had it because of the damage to his spine. He was lucky it didn’t leave him disabled. Vaccines are not evil

I am from Indiana. Jim Banks is a right wing loon. Nothing he says is said without running it past the Federalist spell check. No character or sense of ethics. Morals only exist in outrage of wokeness.

The ignorance couple with the depraved indifference of republicans is going to lead to millions of unnecessary deaths, and the re-introduction of diseases that we'd eradicated. These people are biological terrorists, straight up, and they ARE trying to kill you.

Nah, drinking even MORE colloidal silver should do the trick! Then he turns people, dies from heavy metal poisoning, and I get to parade around the house singing “Another One Bites the Dust.”

There was a time when vaccines didn't exist just as once upon a time the internet didn't exist. On average people didn't survive beyond age 35 and the Black Plague that wiped out generations in Europe in the 14th century. 1/2

I was just thinking about how finding teeth in these skulls will feed their, “we should get rid of fluoride” plan. Those people didn’t have fluoride and their teeth didn’t decay! Never mind the fact that those suckers only had 35 years of wear and tear on them before their owner died. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Jim Banks sounds like a fucking idiot who can't tell his ass from a hole in the ground. I don't give a shit who the President is a reversal on immunizations is unacceptable. Let's have kids suffer with illnesses that have been eradicated by vaccines.

Because people who are sick and literally toothless don’t have time to do anything but work to pay for their care. They can’t engage politically, and don’t have time or energy to think critically about the latest BS they are being fed. I can think of no other way this makes sense.

WTF is wrong with these people? Seriously? You saw an unscientific YouTube video and now you know better than virologists, doctors, trained professionals? Too bad there’s not a vaccine for stupid.

Ask yourself who vaccines help the most. The old and sick. The two groups that cost the most to insure. The more insurance companies make the more they can bribe politicians. A government of the people for the people my ass

No actually we're not. I had polio at age 3. I went for my first surgery at age 5 and came home from the hospital with mumps and chicken pox. The following year I had measles. I AM NOT READY FOR A DEBATE ABOUT VACCINES, ESPECIALLY WITH A RECOVERING HEROIN ADDICT WHO KILLED HIS RESIDENT BRAIN WORM.

These antivaxxers have no memory of going to school with kids crippled by polio or what it was like to be miserably sick with mumps, German measles, measles, or, if young enough, chicken pox. My kids were immunized against all of them including the flu and never suffered anything worse than colds.

Rubella made me pretty sick and when my sisters got sick with measles (before there was a vaccine) you wouldn't want to wish such misery on anyone, especially a child. I was given lifelong immunity to measles from the vaccine as soon as it was available, a much better option.

No, it's not. And especially not by a willfully ignorant bastard like a MAGA politician. The facts are in. Years of evidence prove vaccines are effective. Facts don't give a shit about deeply held beliefs.

It's clear that these knuckleheads really do want a public debate about vaccines. And what I worry about is that disinformation, poor education, and resentment will carry the day. These are unfortunately the rocket fuel of today's MAGA GOP. Millions of lives are at stake.

None of these idiots have even the slightest medical qualification; how the hell could they possibly be qualified to question the well-proven efficacy of vaccines? Maybe they're just mass murderers who ran for office to make their work easier?

OMG.... Leave the vaccines alone!!! If don't want one then don't. Jeeeezus f'ning christ. I want my vaccines. As a matter of fact, they should ALL be FREE!! To those who want them! i am soooo friggin tired. 😖

There’s zero debate. It’s all lip service from the Traitor Brigade. Vaccines are here to stay and there’s nothing brain worm or his crazy cronies can do about it.

would you ever allow for a possibility that there are downsides to any vaccine? maybe some of the vaccines cause more harm than they're worth. most "childhood illnesses" are more benign than many, many other things kids go through.

It's NOT about "freedom to choose" if you want to vaccinate, or if "childhood diseases are benign." It IS about how much money was made during the COVID pandemic. Getting rid of vaccines is going to make a ton of people sick, even if they don't die. Healthcare for profit is just lovely, isn't it.

I don't know where you get your information, but you should try finding another source. Having the mumps and a horrible case of chicken pox was not my idea of fun and games. I made sure my kids will never experience those and other preventable illnesses.

Also, thanks to the millions who sat out this election because they didn’t want to vote for trump but wouldn’t vote for a female president. For a country that is supposed to be a world leader, it is one of the few democratic countries that hasn’t had a female president.

Fuck off, Jim Banks. I caught measles, mumps and chicken pox, something I could spare my own children. Also, my granddaughters will likely not get cervical cancer. My husband and I did not end up on a ventilator due to COVID. Fuck all the way off.

I’m so exhausted with these people. Arrived at my father’s last night and within 30 mins his partner was telling me that Covid vaccines are killing young people due to cancer. Based on nothing other than her 60 something brother (apparently ‘young’) is dying of cancer.

I hate these people so much. You want to make America healthy? How about we get rid of High Fructose Corn syrup? But they don’t want to do that because it will disrupt the corn industry… This bullshit about vaccines will do nothing but make America sicker and deader…

was that study done by the sugar lobby? and was it cane-sugar or one of the other "sugars" that come from beets or who-knows-what? b/c we all know that most people will NEVER cut down much on their sugar - or "sugar" - intake. So it is in the interest of the HFCS sellers to make it all seem the same

If I recall correctly, it was an independent study not funded by either side. It wasn’t favorable to either. It concluded that both are equally bad even in limited quantities. I’ll see if I can find it. It was probably 15 years ago.

Well, as frustrating, discouraging and dumb as this is, the silver lining is these people have no idea how government works and hopefully will get done nothing. Expect many, many press conferences and speeches, and limited action. 🙏

I heard him criticize Biden because he kept all his cabinet picks. The 🤡saw it as a flaw and not that Biden picked competent people to run his admin. I can think of a few that should've been replaced, but they were holdover. But fit the most part government functioned and we weren't on edge

Every morning wondering what twitterfingers was posting to ignite wars. Need to stand up to the bully like Claudia scheinbaum, pres of Mexico, did. I can't spell her name right now. She called his BS 👏. At least she didn't go bend the knee like Trudeau, who is now mocked by the 🤡.

Hard to believe that these MAGA-GOP lunatics want to endanger public health by getting rid of vaccines. It's nuts. Tens of thousands of people would die. Children would be needlessly put at risk for disability. What in God's name is wrong with these Republican leaders?

The problem is you only get to herd immunity at certain percentages. There needs to be mass buy ins or there will be inevitable breakouts. We saw that in Samoa and some of the recent measles outbreaks.

Whenever the extreme right has an unpopular or dangerous agenda, they always demand a "debate" about it to move the Overton Window, so that it goes from "Why should we be doing this awful thing?" to "How should we best implement this awful thing?" Does anyone remember "TEACH THE CONTROVERSY"?

Ready for a HUUUUUGE debate on how we need to retroactively take the vaccinations out of the proposed cabinet picks that benefited from them. Because they’re old, rich and white. The first to probably receive some of the vaccines. So if you don’t want them RFK jr, you shouldn’t be allowed to benefit

Don't want a vaccine fine. Don't go to a medical professional for help - it's the same science. Medical professionals and facilities should refuse to hep. You want the freedom then accept the responsibility and consequences.
