Of course he does. He's a long-standing anti-vaxxer.

Good. More for the rest of us.

And as for the meme. Threats?

Ah contraire, there’s a waitlist.

@Mik , I just read through that site.

Amazing. Just amazing.

If you look at the message, it reads like it's been translated from another language.

Googling around for "Lobbyists for Citizens" comes up pretty short. No wikipedia entry, nothing other than their so-called "newspaper."

[Mik]

Yeah, I looked around to see if he actually said that. Apparently he did.

Dumbass.

[kluurs]

He gives a bad name to "idiots."

[Loki]

How did such a name go so wrong? I read the piece and it was frightening.

Interestingly the environmentalist activist has been against wind power in his backyard and participated in the bill gates conspiracy theories. Even his own family has come out against much of his stuff. That’s all I need to know, actually I knew enough before that, just icing on the cake.

I'm pretty sure that a Kennedy can't really be wrong about public safety.

Shirley there is some kind of misunderstanding.

If you believe that I have a bridge in Chappaquiddick to sell you.

Yes, there probably was.

I’ve been over there. The island is mostly deserted, probably a little more developed. Two incredible beaches and a really cool Japanese walking garden. The ferry from Edgartown takes about 3 cars at a time.

I looked on the map where the address is, where they ask for donations, and it is some house in a subdivision in Ohio. Lol

A doctor who is skeptical of coronavirus vaccines and promotes the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a Covid-19 treatment will be the lead witness at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on Tuesday, prompting criticism from Democrats who say Republicans should not give a platform to someone who spreads conspiracy theories.

Dr. Jane M. Orient is the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a group that opposes government involvement in medicine and views federal vaccine mandates as a violation of human rights.

“A public health threat is the rationale for the policy on mandatory vaccines. But how much of a threat is required to justify forcing people to accept government-imposed risks?” Dr. Orient wrote in a statement to the Senate last year, calling vaccine mandates “a serious intrusion into individual liberty, autonomy and parental decisions.”

In a phone interview on Sunday, Dr. Orient, an internist who received her medical degree from Columbia University in New York, resisted being cast as an “anti-vaxxer” and said she would not get a coronavirus vaccine because she had an autoimmune condition. She added that she opposed the government’s push for all Americans to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, noting that both vaccine candidates — one made by the Pfizer and the other by Moderna — use a new scientific method.

“It seems to me reckless to be pushing people to take risks when you don’t know what the risks are,” Dr. Orient said, adding: “People’s rights should be respected. Where is ‘my body, my choice’ when it comes to this?”

Your choice ends where my life and health start, you stupid twat.

I wonder what that means. I've been told I have an autoimmune condition, though I don't remember what it is or how it manifests itself, so to speak. My ophthalmologist mentioned it after looking into my eyes with his flashlight. Told me to go see my primary, he would send over what he found. Maybe I should wait for a while, before getting the vaccine.
