Summary
The nomination of anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as U.S. health secretary under Donald Trump has alarmed global health experts, who fear it could undermine vaccination efforts and public health globally.
Kennedy has a history of spreading vaccine misinformation, which critics warn could reduce immunization rates, risking outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.
His plans to reform U.S. health agencies and tackle “corruption” could disrupt institutions like the FDA, while Trump’s broader policies may include withdrawing from the WHO and reinstating abortion funding bans.
Concerns also extend to potential trade wars affecting medicine supplies.
Can I…can I ramble a sec for anybody willing to see this?
I was raised around this rapture insanity. There’s lots of evidence that this entire interpretation of Revelation isn’t even an apocalyptic prophecy at all. That whole thing might have been started by some con artist named Darby in VERY recent history.
It angers me personally, because it screwed up my perspective in my formative years. Thinking the world was going to end any minute anyway and all the boomers were so friggin excited about that. What the actual hell.
From a believer’s perspective, and I mean actually reading the book, it’s infuriating, that this recent “trendy interpretation” of The Bible has been the excuse to completely wreck the planet we were given and hurt so many beautiful people and living things.
These scum claim to be godly, but treat
theirOUR home like a shitty rock-band treats a hotel room, and they think they’re magically going to just get whooshed away from the consequences after they instigate WWIII to try and what, strongarm God into coming back because He smelled smoke and ruin?!I want to band up with other believers against this “republichristian” cult. I wanna shout this from the rooftops.
But I’ll be honest, I also don’t want bombs sent to my house. I could rant on this all day, but American Christianity used to be a thorn in the side of capitalists. Christians helped everybody, sheltered them in their churches, didn’t force them to rely on whatever the gilded assholes were selling, created community. Christians used to be good people, dammit. Christians used to be straight-up BASED.
But capitalists absolutely made a concerted effort to turn it into the monster we have today. Where people claim to follow a God who warned them against swearing oaths, while being the strongest supporters of “pledging allegiance” to “a flapping pretty banner and its current owners at the moment.”
“Americhristianism” is the Devil’s most clever work of our time. Now more people just automatically blanket-hate Christians than ever. Nice friggin’ evangelism right?!
Breaks my heart. Feels like screaming against a deadly avalanche of stupid…

As a former christian, I wish I could upvote this all the more. I really don’t have anything to add, you just hit everything directly on.
Matthew 7:21-23
[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [23] And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
These so-called Christians are like the Pharisees that Jesus opposed.
