Stem cells? Does he know what party he’s hitched his wagon to?
booly@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Oh, he knows. They took him on an airplane and made him eat food he had just called “poison” for a photo shoot.
He couldn’t say no, because of the implication.
Liz@midwest.social 1 year ago
Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn’t make him eat it. But the thing is, he’s not gonna say no, because of the implication.

Waiting for someone to solve the problem by telling him about the dangerous food additive dihydrogen monoxide.
mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% mortality rate for every person that has ever consumed it.

I actually met this mother fucker in Mexico in 1999, giving a talk on habitat preservation at Lagoona San Ignacio to a bunch of C list celebrities who were there to support the Natural Resource Defense Council and it’s efforts to stop Mitsubishi from building a salt extraction plant in the middle of a gray whale breeding sanctuary (super good cause).
I was there with a bunch of high school students who’s rich white parents paid for them to go on an expensive ass field trip to watch whales fuck (and do eco protest activist tourism). Coincidentally, the NRDC was there too and they got really excited to invite a bunch of American highschool students to their media shindig.
RFK Jr. got SUPER drunk and gave a sloppy, rambling, barely coherent speech, thanking people for their generosity. The kids were like “WTF is up with this dude? We’ve never seen grownups act like this!”
We did get to hear some really cool marine biologists talk about grey whales. Then one of THEM (Roger Payne, I think) got really drunk too and told us “Whales are people damn it! But you can’t publish that! You can’t fucking publish that!”
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 year ago
The biggest mistake was the we didn’t nuke the whales.

This is like, one mention of “nuclear wessels” away from being a deleted scene from Star Trek IV.

Roger Payne is right.

Yes, make psychedelics legal!
lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 year ago
As much as I want psychedelics to be legal, I think putting RFK in charge of anything is far to high of a price to pay.
Pandantic@midwest.social 1 year ago
Sure, but the deed’s already done. At least may something good come out of it…
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Honestly, Stem Cells becoming more available is cool. I don’t expect his christian overlords to allow it, but it’s a cool thought.
I just hope none of his other snake oils end up in products for the general population. If it just killed off willing idiots then womp womp, they get what they voted for, but public health risks are rarely so discriminatory.
ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
One the one hand, yes, I expect there to be internal pushback on this one. On the other hand, the HHS Secretary reports directly to the least Christian man in America.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But the supreme authority in this case is the senate. If the Trump Admin steps too out of line the senate can remove the secretaries, federal judges, and/or the president themself with 60 votes, which would be as easy as 45 DNC, 2 IND, and 13 GOP.
In fact, Trump was forced into signing steel tariffs / sanctions against Russia when he initially refused to sign S.722 in 2017.
Seems like a lot of the sources on that debacle have been lost to the pile of Russia and Trump ties, but I remember it very clearly.

Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Wait so he is pro psychedelics?
Huh, it would be really weird if the US legalized acid.
If maga starts doing acid to own the libs maybe the would finally start questioning things.
I know I’m wrong, but one can hope can’t they?
Mango@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If there’s anything psychedelics do, it’s prompting you to question your existence.
Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s the brain worms trying to protect themselves legally from the side effects of having brain worms.
distantsounds@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I would love for this to be true, and I believe there are many benefits to psychedelics…but then I remember the Manson family existed
Kanda@reddthat.com 1 year ago
The thing with psychedelics is that you only see what you bring with you
Psythik@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah this is actually really hopeful in a fucked up way. I really hope they legalize psychedelics. They are an extremely effective way to get people to stop voting republican. Worked for me. It woke something up in me that made me realize how selfish and self-serving that entire party is. I’m the only one in my family who no longer votes republican, and also the only one who has tried psychedelics. I think that says a lot.

Honestly, some of these pricks could really probably benefit from getting out of their head for a bit lol.

127TB of data. That’s almost exactly 20 LTO-6 tapes. Good for 30 years when you’ll need to transfer them to something better.
It’ll cost you less than $300 and it’ll all fit into a shoebox.
Become an archivist. The future depends on it.
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’ll cost you less than $300
Except for the multi-thousand-dollar drive.
UnsavoryMollusk@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lto6 drives are more in the sub 500 realm now. Still pricey but far more affordable. Of course more modern lto… Yeah

This guy is a fool and I hope he is removed from power.
veroxii@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Yeah it’s the FDA keeping people from exercising.
What he’s missing is that people who want raw milk are already finding ways to get it. And people who understand the safety issues won’t buy it.
There might be some real self selection and culling of the right wing heard about to happen. Maybe this is for the greater good after all?
Delphia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As someone who does performance enhancing substances and has a keen interest in Peptides and Sarms, I believe that some good could come from this.
Lets not pretend that the FDA hasnt created a walled garden with an insanely high barrier of entry for new drugs and compounds. Its prohibitively expensive to develop anything new and interesting. Especially in the space I mentioned where literally thousands of people are doing those drugs every day. But with precious fuckall in the way of actual literature on doses or quality sources.
zephorah@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Vaccines are the laziest, lowest effort medicine we have. There is no medical treatment that is more effective for so little actual work on the part of the patient. Which is exactly the kind of medicine we need to have the greatest impact on the population base.
julietOscarEcho@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Even better than that. You take the medicine and it reduces everyone else’s risk of getting sick, even the ones that refuse to take the medicine. It’s the closest thing we have IRL to literal magic.
As an immunocompromised person, thank you to everyone who gets vaccinated against communicable disease, you make my world a little less heinous to navigate.
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 year ago
I appreciate your gratitude and I really do hope it does some good for others… Especially because I really hate needles but I have it done anyway for this reason. Lol 😬
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
People like RFK don’t get it. Also, has anyone seen a fucking microchip in a syringe… ever?
brygphilomena@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In the bio hacking world, yea. There are reprogrammable RFID implants that you can get. They are rather large though and kind of suck when trying to use. Check out dangerousthings.com
Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
You can’t see them without a microscope, duhhh.
That’s why they’re called MICRO-chips.
zephorah@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I think it’s a large variation of a syringe needle that chips our pets, but aside from that monstrously large setup that isn’t even used on humans, no.
Closest thing I can think of is the capsule sized camera that can be swallowed to collect data as it travels through that long tube that connect mouth to anus. Even then, I’ve never seen that setup used on anyone.
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Look people. This is life now. We could rise up and put all these motherfuckers out of our misery, but nobody is willing to handle business
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The American public is too servile, and too busy tearing each other down, to do that.
TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Don’t worry, everyone! While we will ignore science and make sure you don’t have vaccines, you’ll have shrooms, rock crystals, and essential oils when bird flu finally hits.
Or I eat a dead bat and become patient zero for Ebola. It’s all good! - RFK Jr
Pandantic@midwest.social 1 year ago
I’m surprised, with all the whale carcasses and roadkill bears, RFK Jr hasn’t already become patient zero for a pandemic.
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
The Democrats should create a shadow presidential cabinet where the health secretary gives science backed advice for people who are looking for it. It would be better to have a centralised political source rather than having everyone independently search Healthline

Don’t forget the FDA’s aggressive suppression of exercise.

jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I think we should take full advantage of this opportunity. Ok, here we go.
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is a baby murderer! He thinks people should be able to inject themselves with stem cells which are just another name for little bits of unborn baby! President Trump is appointing a pro-choice Democrat baby murderer to head up the FDA!!”
How am I doing so far?

When was the last time your big FDA doctor told you to sun your butthole? Why would they hide that from you?
Ixoid@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Regrettably, ‘perineum sunning’ is actually a thing. sciencealert.com/perineum-sunning-isn-t-the-answe…

I’m glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.

Plus, a bunch of conservatives will see the raw milk part and die from listeria. It’s a win-win!
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 1 year ago
but on the plus side, maybe the us can start getting some decent cheeses…
dolle@feddit.dk 1 year ago
Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons. We used to justify legalization using arguments about personal freedom for recreational use and pushing for more rigorous research into the therapeutic use cases. Now its popularity in the population is just used to push a pseudo-scientific and anti-science agenda.
Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
This is kind of an interesting thought, imo. If one agrees with the resultant policy, does the rationale used to get there matter? Perhaps it does in principle, but I wonder if it matters in practice. The end result is the same.
fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean there’s already quite some research with psychedelics showing positive results. Expecting RFK to act on facts and science is wishful thinking. We can just be thankful that his twisted mind aligns with science at least in this position.
AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s why it’s included and it’s the first item. To make the rest seem reasonable.

The carrot got dangled in front of the US population for decades and now it’s going to be handed out by the guy holding a knife in his other hand.
