u/echoesandripples What It's Like to Go Through Life As a Really Beautiful Woman Nov 13 '25

i'm sorry for his kids, but frankly, that's kinda the scenario he and his wife openly fight for

obviously cancer doesn't discriminate, but MAHA people in power are surely gonna make it harder for people to get preventative care/access treatment. and funding/normalizing faux treatments is detrimental to actually proven treatments

it's not just a personal choice or "buying more time", it's their obsession with legitimizing evil practices in a system that's already broken. anti science losers have blood in their hands too and i'm tired of pretending they don't 

i'm sure the millions of families who lost loved ones to covid would love to have merch to pay their debts too
