    Remember when people used to claim cellphones would cause a rise in brain cancer? It used to be repeated constantly in the early 2000s on “real” news channels.

    Remember when “4G LTE” was going to spike cancer rates? Same for 5G.

    Total clown shit. In many ways I don’t blame average hogs for believing insane shit like vaccines are bad or don’t do anything. They’ve been lied to so many times about everything else. Now we have a professionally bad liar as the health guy and Congress (democrats obviously) were last seen spinning in their chairs going “Uh, what can we do? Guess we’ll do nothing!”

    I guess there will be no attempts at third parties either for mid terms or even probably for next presidential election. Everyone is just lying down in the highway and waiting for the inevitable.

      The venn diagram between people who held and loudly expressed these beliefs tended and tend to be defenders of people right to smoke if they want to.
