I wholeheartedly believe that if the Internet had existed when some of these older candidates were younger, we would be finding just as much if not more dirt on them. Their worst mistakes haven’t been put in a kind of permanent form like the Internet.

The frustrating thing about the poor child that died due to the preventable disease is that anti-vaxxers will point at that and say "LOOK! He was vaccinated and he GOT IT! They're GIVING YOU the disease! They're making us SICK!"

How is hospitalizing your child over raw milk not egregious child abuse? Yeah, I gave my kid some lead paint because an influencer drank some. Had to nearly kill my child to learn that DRINKING PAINT is BAD.

Dying 2 days after feeling symptoms is. That's so scary. I really have no other words on how truly terrifying that is.

RFK and anyone passing these laws should be charged with attempted murder / manslaughter with each death caused by their words.
