What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

Eugenics never really went away but holy smokes the things these clowns say: Vaccines are unnecessary because the strong will survive with their sunlight and sleep and MAHA diets. This man needs to be stripped of his medical license.
Dr. Oz on the "super flu": "Every year there's a flu vaccine. It doesn't always work very well. That's why it's been controversial of late. But like many illnesses, the best news out there is if you can take care of yourself so that when you do end up running into the flu, you can overwhelm it."

Thinking about a particular billionaire trying to convince people Medicare/medicaid for all would stink while not being able to get a baby into hospice because their private insurance won’t do concurrent care. Is this really what we want for healthcare in America?

Read Jim's whole thread! I also want to add some historical context. During the 1918 pandemic, there was so much confusion because many scientists still thought that a bacteria, not a virus caused the flu (because, as Jim notes, we couldn't even see viruses under a microscope yet).
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

This lie is so freaking bananas 🍌. Lab leak?? They didn’t even know what caused the flu! There were no vaccine labs. Ya know what treatment for the flu was back then?? Basically nothing. They took aspirin and inhaled steam. They were still freaking bloodletting back then. Lab leak??
