WTF!? Just got an email from RFK JR. calling COVID an "opportunity for totalitarian elements."

[Bleacher Creature]

I knew he was an anti-vaxxer nut, but seeing him actually trying to undermine the COVID-19 vaccination effort at a time when we're losing 4,000 people a day is stunning. This is the kind of garbage that's going to cost lives, and could possibly put us in a pandemic limbo for the indefinite future if we're not able to reach herd immunity using the vaccine. I don't know how I got on that mailing list, but obviously unsubscribed.

What a horrible, horrible person, and a stain on his father's name.

1. Suggest you unsubscribe from those e-mails

[Bleacher Creature]

4. I never subscribed and don't know how my name got on the list.

That said, I'll of course unsubscribe.

8. If you've donated to Democratic causes.

They share email addresses and that's most likely how you ended up on his list.

2. it may be a good idea to unsubscribe

3. Once an anti-vaxxer, always an anti-vaxxer.

Sad but not at all surprising.

9. I would like to believe that is not the case.

We have to reach these people and change their minds.

[BlueIdaho]

13. I hope we can

But those I know can’t be reached by logic or science - they carry a deep rooted belief in the evils of all vaccines.

16. My experience w a family member is it's like fundamentalist religion: they know The Truth...

...and the rest of us are deluded fools. Plus they want to convert others.

[live love laugh]

5. How did I ever listen to him on Rings of Fire?

I thought he was legit. Many people really aren’t who they seem to be.

[Niagara]

6. The rest of the Kennedy family has been outspoken

against RFK Jr's anti-vaccine stance and continually call him out on it. I would definitely unsubscribe from his list.

[Upthevibe]

7. He's an anti-vaxxer and gives credibility to some of the

conspiracy theorists including the friend I lost to QAnon. He REALLY took a wrong turn....

[yardwork]

10. There's one in every family....

[twin_ghost]

11. The wheels fell off his wagon years ago. n/t

[nolabear]

12. No, he really is ill and deeply delusional. Who knows why. Just unsubscribe.

There's no percentage in arguing. He's very small.

[Orrex]

14. RFK Jr is a huckster almost completely full of shit

He lost all value when he latched onto the antivax horror show, and he has done nothing to restore his credibility since then.

15. Our economy won't be able to recover if we don't get out of the pandemic limbo

Not to mention having any hope of competing with China which has had little problem with dealing with the virus.

It is even a matter of national sanity given how big a toll not being able to safely be in groups and crowds is having on our need for socializing and having fun going to special events, games, etc...

Step aside antivaxxers, or you are a threat to America.

[tenderfoot]

17. He's a total anti-vaxer that needs to be called out
