Summary

Donald Trump plans to discuss potentially ending childhood vaccination programs with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee for Health and Human Services.

Trump expressed openness to revisiting vaccine policies, citing concerns about autism rates, despite scientific consensus debunking links between vaccines and autism.

Critics warn reducing vaccinations could lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.

Kennedy, known for questioning vaccine safety, would oversee the CDC if confirmed.

Public health experts remain concerned about the implications.

Kill the department of education and force religious curriculum. This whitewashing will hide the history of slavery and make indentured servitude a normal way of life. If you tell them Jesus said it, they will believe it because they can't read or just don't care to take the time and do it. Religion is about blind faith in something that may or may not exist. It is a form of control over those with little to lose.

Ban vaccines so people are sick and weak. Make all other health care unaffordable. Make them starve by inflating prices. Make their bodies weak to avoid physical conflict. They can't hurt you when they are barely able move or care for themselves.

End sex education and ban abortion. People are going to get sick and die constantly. You will have a population falloff preventing any increase to your wealth and power if you don't force them to have kids faster to fill the labor pool.

Keep their wages low so you can buy out their housing. Force them to be reliant on you to put a roof over their heads. Make them work multiple jobs at little pay just to afford this rental housing. Having no home is a real killer of hope.

Pit them against each other. Crime is up, must be the illegal immigrants! They are taking all your jobs! That black guy down the street is going to steal you stuff and your women. That Jew works at the bank and is the reason you can't get a raise or a loan. Your neighbor is your enemy and They will take everything you have if don't have a gun to protect yourself.

I'm could keep going down the rabbit hole, but why bother. These assholes want us back in 1800's where the rich control and own everything.

Don't let them fool you. The rich control both parties in this country. It's just that one side doesn't give a fuck about being open about what they are doing or public perception.

I am not condoning violence, but this is where we are going to end up shortly if the rich stay comfortable. Freedom isn't free, and we are almost out of fight due to apathy. Average people care more about what some ass clown doing in their social feeds than seeing what is about to slap them right in the face.

Tree of Liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

No, what he meant is that tyrants die when toppled in revolutions and patriots die in the process toppling tyrants. Thus for liberty to thrive both are sacrificed.
