Top comedy if they would build a huge circus tent in front of the white house
Ok I get that denial of science is a staple of RETVRN chud’s fear of anything invented past the year 1500 but it pisses me off that anyone can be against something as good at what they do as vaccines, no matter how or why they got to that position, like LOOK AT THIS SHIT
Vaccines are genuinely so fucking awesome, they represent both humanity’s incredible problem solving abilities and our innate desire to help other people, but they can’t be used to their fullest potential because dumbfucks who think freedom means they should be able to shit in the McDonalds ice cream machine without consequences are ruining it for everyone
"Vaccine skeptic" is such ass-covering horseshit! Just like calling climate change deniers "climate change skeptics".
Call him what he is: a science denier/grifter/worm brained idiot.
What's next? Flat earther as director of NASA? Oil baron as director of EPA?
Last time around he went with Scott Pruitt, the climate change denier and ally of the fossil fuel industry.
Don't give Dump any ideas...

Flawless brain worm victory.
Worms for everyone.

Worse.
They're going to have to go to China to get the seals for those.
I mean it took a Chinese maker to get seals for one of the few remaining living people who needs an iron lung: https://www.wired.com/story/iron-lung-maker-community/
This is how the worms win.
