I’ve also taken care of babies with RSV and it’s awful. They have an RSV vaccine now but some are going to listen to Bobby Kennedy a make believe expert instead of their pediatricians. Look what he caused in Samoa when he warned parents there about the measles vaccine. He’s an idiot. I’m old enough to remember how grateful people were when we got the polio vaccine.

Stop bad mouthing RFK. He is going to improve the health of millions of Americans. He's going to force Big Pharma to properly test the vaccines before they jab all of our kids with them. As it is--they don't test them properly but Fauci & friends approve them anyway. For example--the proof companies give of their testing on a drug or an immunization is taken as is, as truth on the honor system. Best practices is to make them re-do portions of the testing they did & they need to re-create the same results as they claimed to get the first time to prove they didn't cheat on the testing.

I believe the Covid vaccine helped us develop herd immunity more quickly than if we had just waited for more people to be infected and more to die. I think that would have been too big a sacrifice.

Props to Emma for pointing out that host's language around autism. It sucks when they use pathologizing language around autism, seeking to eradicate us. Also, it's worth mentioning that it's really difficult to compare autistic experiences and call one person more "severely autistic" than another because of how different and individual the experiences are. I generally prefer the term "low support needs" vs "high support needs" because this captures the reality better (i.e., some autistics need more support for day to day life than others), without diminishing the experiences of either. This also aligns with the social model of disability. Anyway, thanks Emma for always bringing up the nuances in such discussions, it's really refreshing and makes me (an autistic) feel seen.

Autism is really a general term used to link a broad spectrum of conditions that have been extant much longer than the medical profession's ability to recognise and diagnose those affected. The number of people in middle age or older being diagnosed keeps going up, explaining the issues they have faced, being told they were stupid or difficult. A friend of my son is somewhere on the spectrum. He has difficulty with some simple things, he can't ride a bike due to balance problems and finds it difficult forming relationships. That said he is currently studying for a phd. Luckily he was diagnosed at a young age and has a very supporting family.

Not being discussed: there is a reason why food in America contains so many chemicals, and why "organic" food is so expensive. The Consumer Food Industry relies on economies of scale. More food is produced than can be immediately consumed. Preservatives are added to extend the shelf life. "Organic" and "natural" food spoils in a matter of days, therefore it must be sold quickly, and labelling laws set farming standards that are inherently expensive. There is a non-chemical solution, however, that RFK is, of course, blissfully unaware of. The reason why Europe does not lace its food with "dangerous chemicals" is because it is irradiated. Yep, zapped with radiation. That is why milk is not kept in refrigerators in European stores. There are Tech Bros eager to bring this system to America, and I don't have a problem with that. The question is: How will MAGA feel about "radioactive food?" They have a hard enough time with the concept of drones.

[@tonyt9355]

Organic food in Europe is subsidized and garbage food is more expensive.

[@lhoward9593]

Europeans don't add high fructose corn syrup to everything.

[@soistngcatstritchfavor]

After spending a few weeks in Ireland this past year. Like, yeah the EU has better food products across the board is wild. We are so far behind the rest of the world. it's pathetic.

Life must be so easy when all your thinking is dictated for you by your "team".

[@joeg4589]

I love how you guys gave actual serious responses to her claim about eating pasta abroad and not getting fat

[@missinterpretation4984]

Them: oh you turned 18 and aged out of foster care and are now a homeless addict… pull yourselves up by your bootstraps. Also them: the government should dictate what I eat.

I have Autism... but no polio. chalk that up as a W.

[@brando7266]

And she's sleeping with Hannity, 😆

[@CherylStyles-r5l]

We also don't hormone our animals or stuff them full of corn to fatten them up for market !

[@davidfrancis6727]

European food is fresh. That’s the difference

[@Unedited43795]

Yet Europeans are not cancer or disease free. They drink and smoke like it's the 1950's.

[@Aeroneus1]

That’s not the only difference.

[@Unedited43795]

@Aeroneus1 Wow, great argument. So thoroughly well thought and eloquently stated. Truly undeniable in your logic.

[@Aeroneus1]

@@Unedited43795 Oh my bad. The original comment was so in depth and well thought out. It’s almost like I responded in kind. Additives such as food dyes and potassium bromate, food processing, more natural foods as opposed to non/plastic, better labeling, more restrictions on pesticides, the steroids we feed are bovine to grow bigger. There ya go champ. You can ask nicely next time.

[@Unedited43795]

@@Aeroneus1 I remember when Michelle Obama planted an organic vegetable garden and encouraged children to eat better, but the GOP and Fox News harangued her, calling it communism. Americans have always had the option to eat whole unprocessed foods. It has always been a choice to eat well. Everything you wrote is just an over generalization. A distinction without a difference. You are parroting a bad faith comparison of a select group of products as a red herring argument which negates American choices.

[@knuckles745]

The food is better in Europe but for different reasons

[@Eo-nr8fj]

And, Sam, you's so right about the need for mandated vaccines.

Complains about unhealthy foods. Votes for guy who piles plate with Big Macs and fries.

Let Emma speak

[@ozymandias512]

In regards to food, it is true that our portions in Europe are smaller, and that the urban landscape incentivises physical activity, however, it is also true that here we have much stricter regulations in regards to the food industry. GMO's and intensive farming are much more common in the US than in Europe which in certain countries relies heavily on local production, additionally you guys have a myriad of chemicals, vaccinations and hormone-growth drugs that are outright banned in Europe, like glyphosate which causes cancer. Overall there are differences in lifestyles and quantity, true, but also in overall quality.

[@worer850]

These fox people are just bonkers. 😅😅 crazy crazy

[@elsierodgers4874]

I call her Ansley Airhead. One morning, she said that because of Trump, we can start treating everyone as human. 😂 my goodness

[@buckstraw925]

The food is absolutely better in Europe. No question about that. Now having said that, the walking and smaller portions are huge. Why not just go with this? Higher quality base materials can't be wrong.

[@gsmith6595]

How are they going to do that without regulation, they are the anti regulation party 🤦

[@zammmerjammer]

They aren't. They just FEEL that things will be better. And you can be sure they will eliminate any accurate data-keeping.

[@gsmith6595]

@zammmerjammer yeah I wouldn't put it passed Fox to just tell their viewers "you magically don't have the same food problems anymore"

[@Raddagher]

Interesting how nobody had autism in the 50's but everybody knew like at least 2 grown ass men who dedicated an entire room in their house to their model train collection and ate the exact same food for lunch for 40 years

[@steveyountz9184]

Soooo, her coworkers at WLTX-TV here in Columbia, SC said she was a very nice person, but.......did call her Ainsley airhead.

[@Snake-x1t]

The world is now indistinguishable from satire, and I can't tell if I'm dreaming.

[@williamreynolds9422]

I'm from Idaho, where there is a vaccination requirement, but all you have to do to get out of it is sign a form for a religious exemption. No proof or justification is required. Lifting the requirement wouldn't change shit in red states.

[@baxtronx5972]

Fox Nooz is going full Organic farming? 😂😂😂

[@comicbrandon]

someone get Emma some baked ziti

[@AbsoluteNut1]

I've got cannoli for Emma.

[@JackBurton081]

Europe has much higher standards than we do. And we need to ban those things here, but greedy corporations with no government regulations has opened the field

[@imaginethat3026]

Fox News love pushing two narratives to everything 😂😂

[@chrispswann6825]

Next up: RFK Jr. will tell us that we can cure cancer by drinking herbal tea and going on a juicing diet

[@80sChick80s]

First of all, the FDA allows nerve cell killing food coloring, known cancer causing chemicals especially in fast foods. Our FDA really plays the field. We have a lot of work to do with our foods.

[@Kuhl09]

I’m an American living in Europe. Its true they ban way more things in food than US but they have their share of crap too. It’s not nirvana here.

[@FeralAunt]

Two things: 1. I'm allergic to aspartame. Which is sooooo much fun. Also I can't have store bought powdered sugar. They both give me migraines. 2. I worked in special education for a while and we truly believed that people who are considered geniuses (Einstein, dav vinchi, extra) were on the spectrum.
