when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

I'm not unsympathetic to students protesting America helping Israel commit genocide of Palestinians. They were right. I am also not sympathetic to those same students staying quiet in their dorms when Donald Trump is endorsing ethic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

Every time I read a retrospective on COVID I remember the early days, when people published commentaries about the 1918 flu pandemic, how it was SO WEIRD that that whole thing just got memory-holed, how did that happen so many people died? Covid now has >20 million. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
