RFK, Jr. Says If You Die, It's Your Bad Genes. That's Eugenics, Folks!

The boy on the left had no vaccine. The boy on the right did. 'Nuff said.

As we all *should* know by now—but RFK, Jr. doesn’t—vaccines do not prevent you from getting a disease. Vaccines give your body a way to deal with the disease, which is sometimes the only reason you live.

Now RFK is telling you that if you don’t get a vaccine and you die, it’s because you have bad genes. And that’s the dirty underpinning of the Nazi exterminations of World War II. Peter Coyote explains below.

RFK’s assault on vaccines and support of quack cures—like Ivermectin, which is great for treating a lot of parasites but does nothing against COVID—is right up there with Donald Trump’s suggestion we all drink bleach—WHICH WOULD BE FATAL, BTW, SO FOR HEAVEN SAKE DON’T DO IT.

We talk a lot about Trump’s dementia, and we should. What I want to talk bout this morning is RFK’s mental problems—and his vile, pro-Nazi eugenics subtext, which is, according to Peter Coyote, running through the entire Trump administration:

What began as speculations about eugenics being behind the dismantling of our public health system has metastasized into a conclusion that eugenics is the organizing principle of a whole host of Trump Republican disruptions.

RFK said aloud yesterday, something to the effect that people who get a disease and die were genetically weak, and the people who survive were genetically strong.

As repulsive as that is coming from the director of our national health, saying the quiet part out loud, clarifies a lot of political behavior from the Trump right. Without vaccines, without healthcare, without social services, without healthy food, without access to doctors and hospitals, many many people will die.

And while this would be a source of grief to most of us, to the narcissistic sociopaths that the American people voted into power, it is a fail safe way to cut expenses presently and in the future. Dead people don’t need food services. They don’t need welfare. They don’t need unemployment. They don’t need access to healthy food. They don’t organize into unions. They don’t protest in the streets. And by the time, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have replaced as many workers as they can with machines, profits for the owners of those machines will skyrocket. This may sound extreme to you or even paranoid. But ask yourself, “Can I come up with a better explanation for the total destruction of our support services in the last eight months?” If you can’t, you better begin acting as if these people are trying to kill you.While we’re discussing court decisions and wondering who the courts will back, These people are cutting us off at the ankles and they should be regarded as mortal enemies.

Now, that may seem a tad excessive, but it really is not. That’s where RFK, Jr. is about your healthcare. And right along with, and embedded in every fiber of eugenics is the elevation of white supremacy and the elevation of the male gender.

Along with it comes the attempted or real extermination of non-cis-gender people and non-Aryans. It also comes with the execration of political enemies. For the Nazis and Spanish fascists this included leftists of all kinds, especially Communists and socialists, and women’s rights activists, especially the Spanish “New Woman” who prefigured Western feminism by 30 years. There was a reason Ernest Hemingway and George Orwell went to fight in Spain. George. Orwell was there for six weeks before he stopped writing and got himself a gun.

RFK, Jr. must go. He may be as mentally disabled as Trump, and that alone should be reason enough. But the overriding concern is that he is, as Peter Coyote implies, going to kill a lot of people and excuse his murders with the racist screed that tookthe lives of 6 million Jews and millions more. Writes the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust:

Nazi beliefs categorised people by race, and Hitler used the word ‘Aryan’ for his idea of a ‘pure German race’. The Nazis believed Aryan people were superior to all others. Their devotion to what they believed was racial purity and their opposition to racial mixing partly explains their hatred towards Jews, Roma and Sinti people and black people. Slavic people, such as those from Poland and Russia, were considered inferior and were targeted because they lived in areas needed for German expansion.

The Nazis wanted to ‘improve’ the genetic make-up of the population and so persecuted people they deemed to be disabled, either mentally or physically, as well as gay people. Political opponents, primarily communists, trade unionists and social democrats, as well as those whose religious beliefs conflicted with Nazi ideology, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses, were also targeted for persecution.

Hundreds of thousands of lives were destroyed because of Nazi persecution of other groups, and many groups did not receive acknowledgement of their suffering until years after 1945.

Note that in this eugenics mindset people considered physically or mentally disabled were euthanized. Gays were sent to concentration camps. And the assault on trans people today is a direct echo of this screed.

An assault on vaccines is an assault on public health and a threat to every single American …

And as RFK, Jr. actually believes his theory that if you die of disease you have “weak genes”—and are just ridding the earth of a substandard human being—he is now putting all of us at risk.

Bernie Sanders is trying to force RFK, Jr. to resign. All support of that position is warranted by the threat RFK, Jr.’s. mental instability and virulent anti-social orientation present.
