RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

A Twitter reply from Boy George to JKR. JKR said something predictably terfy.

Boy George’s reply:

This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more difficult. You are cruel JK, you have started to look cruel in pictures. All this obsession is wearing on your expression. The pictures of you mocking 'trans' people like Winston Churchill after the Supreme Court ruling. Your endless comments about how rich you are. It's depressing and tacky and proves you are desperate to mean something but sadly you are just being mean.
As my hilarious friend David Hoyle always says.
'Ladies & gentlemen and those of you still deciding. There are two type of people, nice people and c***s.
I do not expect any positive response and you will continue to be supported by women who see you as some kind of gender hero. Women are not better than men and men are not better than women. As a man, a biological one, rah, rah, I have no issue with a girl becoming a boy or the other way around. As a gay man who has worn make-up since 14 l had lived my entire life feeling awkward and afraid using male public toilets.
It's not easy being different and you are only making it harder. Why don't you buy a nice Scottish island or a farm and start a JK commune for traumatised Terfs. Or listen to your fellow Scott Sydney Banks and he will hopefully help you understand that this is all in your head.

It's absurd how much people take modern medicine for granted For much of human history, cancer was largely just a death sentence. By the 1970s, overall, it was about a coinflip, roughly 50/50 chance of surviving it. Now, about 80% of people who get cancer survive at least 5 years. That's amazing!

Tweet reading: Have cancer outcomes improved since all this money was allocated to cancer research?

If Trump were to seize Greenland, a NATO member, under the NATO charter, NATO would be compelled to defend. This would either pit America vs NATO or force NATO to back down and dissolve. This is a Trump-Putin joint effort to destroy NATO together.

There is no such thing as a vaccine skeptic. Vaccine skepticism is simply science denialism and the endorsement of conspiracy theories. The media should stop whitewashing antivaxxers and call them what they truly are. RFK Jr is an anti-vaxxer.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

Never believe that anti-
Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.
