Sports fan, actuary, likes cakes. The earth isn't flat, vaccines are good and Covid is bad. A little sweary and part of the 77th.
I think that it's hard to overstate how much anti-vax/anti-science sentiment exists in the US right now, and it seems to be getting worse (esp since the vile CDC statement issued by RFK Jr this week).
It exists everywhere, and cost 82 kids in Samoa their lives in 2019, but the data is chilling.

Anti-vaxers on Facebook are getting very excited now as this text has appeared on the CDC site.
This is clearly RFK Jr's doing and the same people who regard Andrew Wakefield as a hero are loving this win for idiocy v science.

Just in case you were wondering how the MAGA morons on Truth Social re reacting to news about Trump being the very thing that they pretend to be most against.

Nobody on Truth Social knows what the word "communist" means, but they are very angry right now.

Truth Social have their own AI called "Truth Search AI".
It's clearly been programmed to give the Trump steer but it usually can't quite manage it as much as Trump would like, though this may change.
This is how hard it tries. Look at the sources!

The funniest thing about this on Truth Social is MAGAs pretending that they ever go to museums.

I know it's a couple of days old, but this is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on social media - and the post is still up!

Thought I'd check in on Truth Social - turns out that many MAGAs are actually angry about the new bill, as illegals are getting too much of something or other.
And Trump posts a narcissistic nausiating AI video of his heavenly life and MAGAs are loving it.

I've noticed recently that MAGAs don't seem to use the phrase "snowflake" as much as they used to. I can only think that even they realise that their leader is the most pathetic childish crybaby in the world.

Facebook comments are often as bad as Twitter, and they won't even remove posts like this. No wonder Reform get so many votes.

Riley Gaines is getting a lot of attention in the US (she once tied for fifth in a race with a trans swimmer, moaned non-stop, and this made her famous and a hero of the right).
I genuinely think that she may be the world's stupidest person. Her Twitter account is just amazing!

I guess a really old guy with a strong team around him would have been worse that this insane crap every single day according to some.
If there is one thing that conspiracy believing cranks have got right it's that much of the MSM is totally incompetent.

Looking at the people RJK Jr has picked to form his vaccine advisory panel it's right to focus on Malone, but my god one of his picks that I looked up at random (Retsef Levi) is totally unfit for any panel.
It's like a crank cirus - he even has Cartland and Kirsch supporting him on Twitter.

The number one "discover" (trending) topic on Truth Social right now is chemtrails.
To many MAGAs there, and I'm not talking about a small minority, RFR Jr isn't crazy enough for them.

Holy smokes, the MAGAs on Truth Social are very angry at Amazon and this does give me mixed feelings!
It seems like MAGAs really want less info on how the price is calculated and now they have it. Very odd but nothing needs to make sense in MAGA world.

Nick Hudson has been charged with misconduct by the UK Actuarial professsion and fined £2k plus costs (£13.6k).
I've not read yet but this looks like it's concerning Tweets being offensive, rather than his pushing of misinformation.

You just can't parody this.
Trump has posted on Truth Social about a 31 page manifesto "National Stategy to End the Use of Paper Straws".
These are from actual snips he posted, with his highlighting.
It's not the worst thing he'd doing but no human being has even been this pathetic.

It's hard to overstate how utterly insane the MAGA base is when it comes to vaccines (well, anything really, but this issue stands out).
Truth Social may not represent a majority view but it does give an insight into the MAGA base and explains when lunatics like RFK Jr was appointed.

Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔
Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked…
