    Well.... why worry about fluoride for your teeth or vaccinations when you are ok with swimming in shit?

    RFK Jr and his grandchildren swam in DC creek contaminated by sewage | Robert F Kennedy Jr | The Guardian

    The US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, has revealed that he went swimming with his children in a Washington DC creek that authorities have said is toxic due to contamination by an upstream, ageing sewer system.

    The National Park Service has said: “Rock Creek has high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens that make swimming, wading, and other contact with the water a hazard to human (and pet) health. All District waterways are subject to a swim ban – this means wading, too!”

    No worries ... rubbing corn starch on your forehead will cure bacterial infections. It's the one trick that doctors hate.

    OP makes a fair point. Non-existent viruses are obviously not harmful, whereas toxins that reside in creeks and vaccines may sicken or even kill.

    RFK Jr needs to get his head screwed on straight.

    If MAGA-tuprs had been running immigration policies the last 6 decades imagine how much less raw sewage thete would be. And as previously stated:

    "Measles was just one of the diseases Democrats (primarily) imported. Tuberculosis, Chagas, polio, diphtheria, gonorrhoea, syphilis, dengue fever, cholera, methicillin resistant staph aureus, leprosy, scabies, chickenpox smallpox etc."

    I mean, in this case no need to wait on the lab results, you can see a massive POS floating right in the middle in this picture.

    So not only can economic troubles be blamed on the other side, but disease related ones too. If you could just get rid of democrats, it would be unbridled paradise.

    For those interested, you can see the actual numbers here: Anacostia Riverkeeper® | Water Reporter Maps

    If you have been ordered to love RFKj and/or aspire to swim in a whole town's ass blast, don't look at this week's numbers.

    Wrong? I am not even sure how to evaluate this claim, as it’s difficult for me to understand what it would even mean for democrats to “import” these diseases.

    Take MRSA for example. It was first discovered in England in 1961 and first found in the USA in Boston in 1968. Are you saying that Democrats imported this disease from England in the 60s? Like they put it into a vial and then sprayed citizens in Boston? Or the Democrats allowed Americans and Britons to visit each other, indirectly causing this transmission? Or something else?

    To the lights of many on here, I am a Democrat, so this would almost certainly not work for me. I’m just marveling at how close people seem to actually agreeing with my satirical if/then statement.

    Pardon me fog getting the impression that dems were blaming pubs for measles and other ‘diseases.’
