Good grief, I hate so much about this.

Anti-intellectualism just keeps winning the day. The dumbest people are winning.

It’s not just dumbasses. It’s dumbasses with no morals. If more smart people had no morals, they’d win every time.

They'll be the among the first to die when it comes to health and common sense

They died in higher percentages than normal Americans during Covid, and yet, we are still neck deep in dumbfucks that think donvict is a great choice to lead this country...

That a win for the whole health industry, think of all the people you will now need to treat of Polio, measles, tetanus and so on not to mentions all the grave diggers! This is a job creation machine! /s

They don't make iron lungs or the parts for them anymore so that's great...

Maybe an IOT iron lung?

I cant wait for my iron lung to get hit with a ransomware attack and I have to rapidly transfer dogecoin to some random address to be able to breathe again

Stocks in producers of nutritional supplements and bleach, meanwhile, have rallied.

Elected President, election denier

Attorney general, broke the law

Health Department head, anti health products

Department of government efficiency, did terrible business deals

This. Stupid ideas tend to cluster together. For instance, geniuses that are moon landing denialists also tend to fall for other things like vaccine denial, Holocaust denial, evolution denial, climate change denial, HIV denial, etc...

What toxins we talking about? I'm always wary of that word as I've mostly seen it used by middle-aged white girls who flunked science class.

But it's a serious question! Exactly what toxins?

Yes, this. Define "toxins".
