RFK Jr in charge of the nation's health. That scares me the most.

There's a lot to be frightened of and this rises to the top.

Watch children die when he outlaws vaccines.

Watch women die as he outlaws abortion nationwide.

Watch the nation flounder during the next epidemic when there is no data to drive decisions - assuming he dismantles the CDC.

No longer make them available for free or mandate them for public schools or any of that.
Stupid people will simply not get them anymore out of inconvenience.

There is going to be a lot of this kind of shit up and down the ladder. I'm guessing that Social security and Medicare payments will become optional too. This will be the end of those programs and it will be because "the people have spoken"

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few used on Iran if Putin gives the go ahead. He gets unfettered access to Ukraine and the rest of Eastern Europe. It ain't bad now since they can worship Jesus (at least some denominations can).

Folks are thinking Taiwan is in danger, but I think the opposite. I see Russia and the US having a common foe in China. That is where WWIII will start.

Seniors will die also because many rely on an annual flu shot. When Covid vaccines are outlawed, we could see an upsurge of Covid deaths.

Birth control and abortion pills will be unauthorized by the FDA, ergo, nationwide ban on medication abortion. If Republicans also take the House, the first legislation introduced by Speaker Johnson with be a national ban on all birth control and a ban on abortion with no exceptions. Trump will sign it.

Our healthcare system is already filled with problems. It will only get worse with RFK in charge.

Would you believe anything Trump told you even to your face? Second hand?
