MAGA is maladaptive and irrational, and will always die at a greater rate than other people.

If it was just them getting sick because of their antics, I'd say dig some mass graves.

... Thousands of doctors sign letter encouraging that RFK Jr. be rejected. ...

OK, if I may ask...

What are nominee Kennedy's medical credentials that would justify his appointment?

He blew Trump.

That's his qualification.

No gag reflex.

As of 2018, there were over 985,000 practicing physicians in the United States. The number has likely increased since then, with projections indicating a growing physician shortage in the coming years.

Wow 17k liberal dem doctors, I'm impressed, not!

MSG loves him some anti vax RFK Jr.

Why? Because RFK Jr joined the cult.

Simple as that.

Well, we think he should be given a chance. The President has the right to his picks. It will probably be OK ...
-MAGA party senators ...

MSGT, if I belonged to all the professional organizations I am eligible for it would cost me well over 50K a year. I belong to two. One of them has expressed dismay regarding the outcome and the other is busy lobbying the upcoming medicare cuts.
So add me, 17,001. Many formerly conservative physicians are moving toward support of single payer. We are sick of the current disease care system.

FTA Kennedy compared vaccination policies to the actions of Nazi Germany. They also highlighted the work of Kennedy's nonprofit, Children's Health Defense, in fighting against vaccination.

That doesn't concern you?

Doctors, schmockters, let's listen to the dumb people instead

That worm that munched on Jr's brain is worth a listen.

MSG is a reminder of how ignorant typical Trump supporters are.

"Thousands of doctors sign letter encouraging that RFK Jr. be rejected."

Water off a duck's back.

Promises were made. Knees were bent. Favors were exchanged. Souls were sold.

Fear is a powerful motivator.

Medals of Cowardice for those who flush the country down the drain because they lack the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing for the people who pay their salaries.

Funny flag for you DBT2. One of the benefits of e-scribing is a lot fewer phone calls from pharmacists.
