I don't find any explanation on the internet as to why he refused treatment. Wouldn't want people to assume he was an anti-vaxxer when we don't know.
Easy intuitive leap; 80 year old white guy refusing treatment. Sure, could have been any number of things, but Occam's razor in the current political climate.
Sure the leap is easy when you decide evidence isn't required, but it may well be wrong. Guy could have been in poor health anyway and refusing any extensions of his life. He could have been suffering from dementia and didn't have a loved one stepping in and taking control of his health care. He might have been under the impression that it was unlikely that a bat would actually be carrying rabies and thought treatment would be a nuisance.
Big Picture > Granularity There's a growing anti-medical sentiment stemming from the anti-mask/anti-vax movement on the right.
Sure, I agree with your big picture. My complaint is about disinformation. This example might serve to illustrate the anti-medical sentiment on the right if it is true. But if there's no evidence it is true, you're actually just misleading people and/or undermining your own credibility.
Sports and the anthem is sacred myan. The workplace... That's where I took a **** five days out of the week
it’s pathetic how they bring their kids along making them catch 2nd hand embarrassment imagine spending your Saturday at this nonsense instead of playing Xbox as a kid
I mean, on one hand, they seemingly do fit the protagonist of a typical Hollywood summer blockbuster. Is that why am I reminded of that Rick and Morty episode where Jerry thrives in Cronenberg Earth?
Florida plans to end all state vaccine mandates, including for schools https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/florida-plans-end-all-state-vaccine-mandates-including-schools-2025-09-03/ What could possibly go wrong?
in heated hearing, Even Republicans are grilling RFK Jr. over COVID-19 vaccines Sens Bill Cassidy (R-LA), John Barrasso (R-WY), and Thom Tillis (R-NC) joined several Democrats who questioned Kennedy about his support for COVID-19 vaccines following a tumultuous week at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month that culminated in the termination of the director, Susan Monarez. The hearing was scheduled prior to Monarez’s termination, but it was only announced after it came to light that Monarez clashed with the Food and Drug Administration’s action, announced by Kennedy on X, to limit COVID-19 vaccine approvals to those with comorbidities that put them at risk for severe disease. Cassidy, Barrasso, and Tillis each also questioned Kennedy on whether he believed that President Donald Trump deserved a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed, which fast-tracked mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during the height of the pandemic, during his first term. Tillis, who has announced that he won't be running for re-election, also criticized Kennedy for firing Monarez after only working with her for 29 days following her Senate confirmation hearing. “I don't see how you go over four weeks from [calling Monarez] ‘a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials, a long time champion of [make America healthy again] values, caring and compassion, and brilliant microbiologist,’ and then fire her four weeks later," Tillis said.
I mean, if you haven't gtfo Florida to this point, you are asking for trouble, but...gtfo, man. I get sick on the regular from my knucklehead kids WITH vaccine mandates.
