    I just saw somewhere that (of course it’s Florida) politicians in Florida are calling to stop distribution of vaccines there because of “potential to cause cancer.”

    Hmmm… Now you care about carcinogens? You know what helps prevent carcinogens from entering the ecosystem? Corporate regulations. Oops I said the bad R word… They don’t actually give a shit about what causes cancer, it’s just another political stunt…

      We really need to come back to reality as a country. Unfortunately it will take another thirty years.

        Unfortunately it will take us actually taking action against propagandists, but since they’re “the press” they get a free pass to do whatever they want.

        It’s a horrible scenario to be in, because you definitely don’t want to open that can of worms with the current political system. Who gets to decide what is propaganda and what isn’t? I could easily see a Trump administration labeling all media that isn’t right wing media as “propaganda unfit for consumption.”

        So we rely on the intelligence of the common individual to see through the bullshit… As we all know common sense isn’t common :(
