Magat Grandbabies with Measles.

[Jolly]

Maybe some will die and you can shiver with delight.

One more Magat gone!

[jon-nyc]

These are grandbabies of magats. I wouldn’t tar them with the label just yet. Indeed these are early victims of magatry.

[Jolly]

The only good Magat is a dead Magat.

Got any spare smallpox blankets?

[jon-nyc]

Not yet, but give RFK time. He’s only been in the role 48hrs.

[Jolly]

I don't think RFK delights in sick people.

[jon-nyc]

No, he believes his own stuff. I’ll give him that much. But, like facts, pathogens don’t care about his feelings.

[LuFins Dad]

This shouldn’t have happened. If only public health hadn’t lied throughout 2020-2021…

So much for taking responsibility for your own choices.

[jon-nyc]

Oh the irony.

[jon-nyc]

One died.

[LuFins Dad]

You realize that the time frame for the parents skipping their vaccinations had to be 4-5 years ago, right?

[Horace]

Dead kids are a small price to pay for the elation of rhetorical dunks on Trump.

[jon-nyc]

You can try to pin it on me but I’m one of the few here who voted against this.

You voted against children dying? That sounds stunning and brave.

[jon-nyc]

Yes there were two choices in the last election. One would lead to more preventable childhood disease including the worst outcomes, the other to fewer. Nobody here didn’t know that when they voted.

Really? Since the parents would have skipped their vaccinations during both the Biden and previous Trump administrations and their respective public health departments, I would have to say that you actually did vote for this at sometime.

You can continue to live in your rhetorical word where you project your silliness onto everybody else, but it's not actual fact that the net health effects of this administration will result in "more death" than the other administration.

[jon-nyc]

The additional deaths have yet to occur, sure. No reasonable person can doubt they will.

[Horace]

@jon-nyc It's not even fact that in your selective focus on measles, that a reasonable person could doubt there will be a rise. That's again just your rhetorical reality being projected onto the world. You do this constantly.

The other thing you do constantly is to focus that rhetoric on one thing, while keeping everything else out of focus. I used the word "net deaths" in my response, to pry you away from the focus on measles (against not even established as an issue that will get worse under RFK), and on the bigger picture, which is what a vote should be based on.

I understand the rhetoric is your reality, I just wish you'd stop saying out loud that it's definitely everybody else's reality too.
