I am confused about RFK,Jr. [View all]

Not because I don't understand what he's doing and how dangerous it is. People are catching easily preventable, possibly life-threatening diseases because of his policies. What could be more dangerous than that?

No, I 'm confused because the corporate media, which is starting to wake up about Epstein, the threat to democracy, and the fact that trump's policies on every issue are unpopular, seems to be very muted in their criticism of him. They also don't cover him enough. They don't even jump all over it for the shock value (which could increase ratings) when the fool says things like he snorted cocaine off a toilet seat. I mean, this statement is newsworthy and salacious at the same time, but the response seems to be a big yawn.

Also, isn't big pharma interested in promoting vaccines, which are their product after all? Don't they make billions off of them? Why are the big pharma donors, who control the administration, allowing this weirdo to sink their profits?
