People in the comments saying the play is that if there are no vaccines then chemo makes money and nope! The reason someone you know will die of an vaccine preventable disease is some academics with twitter followings felt they didn't get enough NIH respect in 2020 and came down w/ poster's madness.

When everything is on fire, it’s hard for stories like this to break through. But these kind—of Kennedy circumnavigating even Trump’s effort to moderate his extremism, that name and explain the motivations behind the bureaucrats enacting Kennedy’s anti-vaccine policies—are I think, so important.
Trump pulled Rep. Dave Weldon's nomination to lead CDC in March: He was too anti-vaxx. But RFK Jr. just hired Weldon’s longtime deputy instead.

I saw a clip of this interview before seeing Mike’s thread & Zuck looked like a little kid making up a story on the fly when he was talking about the Biden admin cursing at Fb to remove posts.
I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

A good reminder that you need to clean the vent to the exterior of your home too! Lint can get trapped in there even if you’re cleaning lint trap in your dryer.
With these kinds of stories there is sometimes a temptation to judge. "How could they not know?!" is a reply we see a lot.
