    ...for those who were over 80 [average age of COVID deaths was 81] or who had several co-morbidities.
    The vaccine should never have been recommended for anybody else.

    And where is COVID now? I mean did you LOOK at that death rate? BTW where did you get your stats? From Kennedy’s misinformation site?

    You are also ignoring morbidity

    It certainly kicked off the flower power revolution - I guess I just haven’t heard him referred to much lately.

    americans like his childrens' stories, starship troopers and such.

    2 competing visions of space exploration came out of the 1960s

    1. "space force" a space ship requires military discipline like any ship. the captain and officers and such. example: star trek. this vision got us to the moon.

    2. "private enterprise" in this model, the one actually chosen, billionaires (who never use their own money) compete for the riches of space using all of nasa's science and technology for free and able to call upon the public to bail them out of any self created disaster. this vision got us the orbiting tesla.

    His Achilles heel is his qanon mentality.

    Kennedy might just pull off the nomination. The only one in the limited Democrat that isn't a crazy, radical leftist loon.

    RFK Jr is a crazy loon. This has been known for decades. It has nothing to do with him running for President.

    Maybe he should run as a Republican, conservatives seem to love him.

    RFK is sensible and smart. Perhaps a bit much in the tree hugging department... but a good guy. The only sensible democrat in the race. The rest all Marxist loons.
    Ques? So you hate the poorly educated? Why? Trump likes us all.

    Since Biden has announced he’ll seek reelection, the Democratic Party leaders don’t want him challenged. History hasn’t been kind to sitting presidents seeking reelection who were challenged by a recognized name. Truman in 1952 and LBJ in 1968 dropped out during the primaries, their party lost in the general election. Ford, Carter, G.H.W. Bush were challenged and beat their challenger in their respective party’s primaries, but all lost in the general. One can’t blame the leaders of the Democratic Party and their media outlets to downplay RFK Jr. challenged to Biden or to deny him a platform.


    How do the rank and file feel about Biden seeking reelection, check out question 22? 44% want Biden to run again, 33% don’t with the rest undecided, not sure. Go then to question 25, do you think Biden is the democrat’s strongest candidate? 34% of democrats say yes, but 42% say no, that Biden isn’t the Democrat’s strongest candidate. Then check out question 24, the trial heat between Biden and Trump, they’re tied at 39% each.


    https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/rj3bg6ve06/econTabReport.pdf


    They’re may indeed be a disconnect between the Democratic Party leaders and their rank on file when it comes to Biden. Not necessary the rank and file want RFK Jr., but they would like someone else. At least that’s what the polling suggests. Also look at the all of American’s column in the three questions above. On Biden running again 24% of all Americans want him to run again, 60% don’t. On Biden being the strongest candidate the democrats can run, 19% of all Americans say he is, 61% say Biden isn’t.


    The Republicans are the opposite, the party leaders would like to have someone other than Trump as their nominee, but the rank and file want Trump. What are RFK Jr.’s chances, today, I’d say close to zero. Tomorrow, who knows?

    rfk jr has no chance at the nomination short of an astounding series of coincidences little short of a miracle or a conspiracy theory. anti vax is a non starter among rational voters, and the video of rfk podcasting with bannon and flynn should be enough to knock him out after maybe a win in new hampshire.

    one man's "radical leftist loon" seems to be another man's centrist neoliberal.

    as the antivax axis approaches the "jesus will protect me, and mike flynn is his general" axis only darwin can separate the sheep from the loons.

    RFK Jr was an anti vaxxer before 2020. That alone is disqualifying.

    I've been amused at how much I've seen folks being told the left must be afraid of Robert Kennedy Jr. I suppose in a way, it's true. Anti-Science people CAN be dangerous because who knows what they'll choose to believe instead. It could be anything, though like most things that reject reason and logic, it will probably have an emotional basis.

    We already have the MAGA crowd and the progressive crowd acting purely on emotion, I think we're doing just fine in that department. No need to bolster it with another mindless skinsuit.

    I agree. Gavin Newsom will be the democrat nominee. I think the plan is already in the works.

    Here in my rational blue state, our Governor, early on, banned all China Virus Tyranny such as mandatory mask wearing, business/school closing, etc. We chose to live life. (We often joke that our kids will be doctors and astronauts while blue state kids are still in their pajamas at home trying to learn to read.) The China Virus simply isn't an issue here and hasn't been for years. We are FREE to do what we want ... or not. And things are going great. Its all history to us now and things are good.

    The China Virus is a dim memory here. We're fine. If you want to vax... vax. If you don't... don't. Its called FREEDOM. And we're doing fine.

    Sure.

    RFK Is a loon because he was an anti-vaxxer before 2020.

    he can't be trusted with power, because he clearly has problems with his mental stability.

    Someone who was anti-vaxxer before 2020 isn't someone I would ever take seriously.

    Someone who only became anti-vax post 2020, i still think they are silly, but ill give them a pass because of all the anti-vax propaganda they've been exposed to.
