It doesn't make you healthier as an adult to have had it as a kid, looks like there's increased risk for death for 5 years after contracting it, it can lead to neurogical issues afterwards and it increases risk of getting other diseases.
Why is he against vaccines again? Just the one study that was all kinds of messed up and was debunked that tried to tie vaccines to autism... any other legitimate reason?

A look at how this vaccine technology has been in the works for decades.
Rushed...? the approach was new to you, but not new to science.
It for sure was rushed. The whole thing was called Operation Warp Speed which I always thought was funny. My understanding was that the Trump administration took the financial risk out of research and development so they could do several years worth of R&D in a short time. Pretty much doing things along side each other that they’d usually do at different points in the process spread out over years.
And I still don’t understand people saying it was forced on us. The public messaging was relentless and annoying I’ll admit that. But no one ever had to get vaccinated unless their employer required it which I see as totally fine.
Pretty much where I'm at.

FDA staff reviewing Musk’s Neuralink among latest federal firings, sources say
About 20 people working on medicine devices at Food and Drug Administration dismissed amid government purge
I'm sure all of these firings were just coincidence because Musk was refusing himself due to conflict of interest.

This. Absolutely this. It wasn't new technology. It was existing technology along with an absolute ton of money to give practical and useful application to the technology.
I don't like hardly anything about Trump but he should get credit for listening to people around him and pushing this when it was needed.
Yes, we all know that.Pretty much where I'm at.
You've been quite clear with that.
Donny, however, has been posting paragraph upon paragraph trying to claim that it's not where he is at.....even though it is.

The funny thing is, Trump doesn't really want to take credit for it because so many of his supporters are anti-vaxxers.

Some of you have seen (and been critical) of content I've posted here from MeidasTouch..a media group started by 3 brothers who are Republicans who have rejected Trump outright since the start. They now have the most popular Pod Cast in America ...have reached over 5 BILLION views on Youtube and have over 3 Million subscribers now and are getting ~ 60 million listeners PER MONTH on their Pod Cast.
Several of you don't like their Editor in Chief specifically Ron Filipkowski who is former GOP appointed Judge. But they just dethroned Joe Rogan as the most popular Podcast in the country .......People you really should start listening to them if you want to see this whole Trump thing through the eyes of a Republican who doesn't agree with Trump
Joe Rogan Dethroned by Anti-Trump MeidasTouch Podcast in the Charts
Joe Rogan has lost his Number One slot to a show critical of President Donald Trump, the MeidasTouch Podcast, according to Podscribe data.Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Rogan and the MeidasTouch Podcast outside regular working hours via email for comment.
Why It Matters
The podcast charts have largely been dominated by shows with a conservative or pro-Trump voice, and the likes of Joe Rogan, Shawn Ryan and Ben Shapiro have frequently appeared in the top 10. Trump himself appeared on a number of these podcasts, eschewing traditional media outlets, as part of his successful bid for reelection in 2024.Less than a month into the new administration, the rise of the left-leaning MeidasTouch to become the country's most popular podcast indicates a potential shift in tone currently resonating with Americans.
What To Know
The Joe Rogan Experience has long dominated the podcast chart, but this month he slipped down into the second spot, according to Podscribe. His podcast was downloaded and played 48.6 million times, a 32 percent decrease from the previous month. The MeidasTouch Podcast took top spot with 56 million downloads and plays, increasing in reach by 101 percent this month.MeidasTouch was founded by three brothers Ben, Brett and Jordy Meiselas. It is described on its website as: "A pro-democracy news network," the organization first started with creating viral videos and political ads opposing Trump and supporting Democratic candidates.
The podcast is critical of Trump, and in the most recent episode, Ben Meiselas said "The buck stops with you, whether Trump wants to admit it or not, he needs to take responsibility for everything that is going on and I think it is up to the people to hold him responsible and I know that's what we're gonna do here every single day."
Trump's election campaign podcast appearances were influenced by his youngest child, Barron Trump, who was the reason behind his father doing interviews on Adin Ross and Bussin With the Boys. Trump told Fox News' Maria Batriromo in October that Barron "tells me about all the 'hot' guys, people I've never heard of."
When Trump claimed victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, his longtime friend Dana White thanked some of the hosts of podcasts Trump had appeared on during the campaign. "I want to thank the NELK Boys, Adin Ross, Theo Von, Bussin With The Boys, and last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan," he said.
What People Are Saying
In a post on X, formerly Twitter MeidasTouch wrote: "The MeidasTouch Podcast is officially the #1 podcast in the U.S. per the newly released Podscribe industry rankings, with 57.7 MILLION downloads and views per month."Congressman Robert Garcia in a post on X: "Congrats to @MeidasTouch. Well done @meiselasb and the whole crew. We need to be everywhere to reach working people and get our message out. Let's keep it up."
What's Next
Whether MeidasTouch will hold onto the top spot, or whether more anti-Trump podcasts start to climb the charts, remains to be seen.

Steve Bannon Ramps Up His War on ‘Parasitic Illegal Immigrant’ Elon Musk
Steve Bannon unleashed a new torrent of insults at Elon Musk on Tuesday, escalating an ongoing feud with President Donald Trump’s new favorite confidant.
“Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant,” the former media impresario turned Trump White House adviser turned podcaster, told UnHerd of the president’s South African-born lieutenant. “He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”
Bannon, who represents the first wave of Trump’s supporters who coalesced around his populist, nativist message during his first bid for the presidency, has been fixated on Musk, the broligarch poster boy for Trump’s new term.
Trump has tasked Musk—his benefactor, surrogate, and adviser—with finding $2 trillion in spending cuts through the DOGE task force he was appointed to lead.
(The Trump White House curiously claimed Musk is not the leader of DOGE on Monday, despite both men repeatedly indicating otherwise, in a response to a lawsuit targeting the task force.)
That has pitted Bannon’s populism, rooted in stoking working-class grievances, against Musk’s burn-it-all-down ethos that has already seen DOGE marshal the firing of thousands of federal employees, access the systems of key departments, and push to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Last week, Bannon warned the Trump administration not to take a “meat ax” to Medicaid, which insures more than 70 million low income and disabled Americans.
“Medicaid, you gotta be careful,” Bannon, 71, said on the Thursday episode of his War Room podcast. “Because a lot of MAGAs are on Medicaid, I’m telling you. If you don’t think so, you are dead wrong.”
Bannon told UnHerd that Musk and DOGE’s priorities were in disarray, failing to achieve enough cuts while ignoring the massive Defense Department budget.
“DOGE is sitting there with the budget, but where the f--- are the DOGE cuts?“ he asked. ”We are 30 days away from approving a budget for the entire year with $2 trillion already baked in, and not one penny of anything that DOGE found. It’s ludicrous.”
He added: “I notice there is a hesitancy to cross the Potomac and go to the Pentagon. I would like to see $100 billion taken off the $900 billion budget right now, which is really a trillion.”
Bannon told the outlet that, while he considers DOGE merely “performative,” he still thinks Musk has a purpose, calling him an “armor-piercing shell that’s delivering blunt force trauma against the administrative state.”
Bannon, meanwhile, has absolutely kept the faith in Trump. He told UnHerd he’s “exploring” options to secure the president a (currently unconstitutional) third term.
“I don’t have right now a tremendous amount of support on this legally,” he conceded.
In December, when he first floated the idea of a third Trump turn, Bannon suggested the Republican standard bearer could get around the 22nd Amendment—which says, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”—by arguing it’s open to interpretation whether it applies only to “consecutive” terms.
Yep.
The irony is this is how socialism comes to America. As a reaction to blatant grift from a capitalist system whose guard rails were systematically removed/destroyed. There are far too many losers and not enough winners.
This is really sad, IMO.
Also, Musk isn't smart enough to keep this going forever, and when it comes crashing down, it will be spectacular.
