Pure hot garbage by unqualified hacks.

This country has become a sad joke.

I forget who said, "Mama told me there'd be days like these. Just not so many of 'em."

#3 Your post reminds me of this line from the Blake Edwards' movie, S.O.B. :

Dr. Irving Finegarten: "I could sue you for calling me that, Polly! A shyster is a disreputable lawyer. I'm a QUACK!"

Quelle surprise.

Was anyone every expecting a different outcome than this when Pres Trump selected such an incompetent HHS Secretary?

So RFK lied to Congress in order to get the job.

Knowingly making false statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of a federal government branch, including Congress, is a felony crime under 18 U.S.C. 1001, punishable by fines or up to five years in prison. Lying under oath during congressional testimony is also the separate crime of perjury 18 U.S.C. 1621, which carries similar penalties.

Alito needs to be Arrested. Kavanaugh too.

Both lied under oath at their Confirmation hearings.

John Roberts?

Amy Coney Barrett?

Whole Lot of Lyin' Goin' On.

Straight from the CDC website

"Pursuant to the Data Quality Act (DQA), which requires federal agencies to ensure the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information they disseminate to the public, this webpage has been updated because the statement "Vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim. Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy?

The CDC, by their own admission, lied by making a claim about vaccines for children that wasn't evidence based. Cry harder.

It's cute how Trump has you feeding right from RFK Jr's anti-vaxx hand.

Which vaccines caused your autism?

Congratulations, LftHndThrds.

You finally learned to love Big Brother.

Self-made man trusts big government he swears he doesn't need, the government that has never done anything the private sector couldn't do for less.

Give yourself a big pat on the back for understanding how RKF is from the government and he's here to help you.

I like it when health organizations are exposed for lying and forced to retract their statements that aren't evidence based.

Trust the $cience just got backhanded.

Not at all surprising.

#14 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Without lying, show us the evidence that disputes the claim "Vaccines do not cause autism."
You can't, because there isn't any.
Which means you're lying.

"Trust the $cience"

Apparently you don't think there's any money in lying about the science, which only speaks to your willful ignorance, as you spent your career in the fossil fuel industry, which has been lying about global warming and microplastics as long as you've been alive.

Apparently you think that Science can lie.

Science doesn't "lie".

People lie.

Science, as a self-correcting methodology, does not and cannot lie, but individual humans can and do lie within and using the scientific process.

#17 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Product?
What product is science selling, how much is sold globally?
Now compare that number to how much fossil fuel gets sold globally, and tell us who has the bigger incentive to lie.

You aren't smart enough to have this conversation.

#19 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-11-23 12:14 PM

#19 Oh, please don't tell us that Left Hind Turds isn't smart enough to have this conversation (or any conversation, for that matter).

How disillusioning, Snoofy. /s

Was it to prevent vaccine hesitancy, or was it to not alarm people and keep the product moving?

Just STFU raetard. The last two times you were gainfully employed was at a short order restaurant as a fry cook, the other one you were a party favor at frat parties.

#22 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-11-23 01:55 PM

Hey dumbf^*%,

Look at the * in the webpage.

www.cdc.gov

* The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website.

This is dishonest, cynical bulls-^*% from that hack RFK, not the CDC.

How do I know? Because it's done in a way to give plausible deniability for RFK that he didn't lie to Congress.

So STFU idiot, this doesn't change a thing as far as the actual science is concerned, it's just political bulls%*%.

#23 | Posted by jpw at 2025-11-23 02:30 PM

That's not what happened dumbf^*%.

You're also no equipped to assess this topic because your ignorant dumba%# can't even give a decent explanation of what it is. L

Because you don't know s%** about any of it.

Apparently, irony is a foreign concept to the likes of Left Hind Turds.

Thank you for proving that you don't listen to someone by saying "Like anyone is going to listen to you..." to prove just how certain you are that you don't listen to JPW.

Always.

Oh, imo, I suspect he knows exactly why everyone is laughing at him.

But that current trolling alias seems to have a mission: disrupt and divide.

Ripe for the picking.

Please excuse me if I choose not to pick that fruit.

#32 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-11-23 10:11 PM

#32 But, in many respects, there's this...

Not low-hanging fruit, but strange fruit...

[Verse 1]
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

[Verse 2]
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

[Verse 3]
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
