    Screw that. Give the government a way to track my vitals 24/7 and sell that information off to their cronies in the private sector? No thanks.

    You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.

    Do you know why most people don’t get those?

    Insurance won’t cover them. Many insurance providers won’t cover them.

    Maybe start there? Although I’m guessing he has no buddies who would make money from routine blood tests.

    No need for vaccines with 5g chips when the wearable will have one right on your wrist.

    Revelation 13:16-17 New International Version 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

    Huh. No uproar from the people who believe in this shit? Weird.

    RFK jr’s wants, needs, desire to continue breathing move me not at all.

    He can fuck off.

    If we had a science-backing and non-Nazi government who I had any belief in their ability and will to keep our data safe, this might be really cool. When I first got an Apple Watch and saw all the ways it benefits me I honestly wished everyone had one by default.

    Instead, something like this would simply be used to further control people especially women since it can track monthly cycles (to my knowledge at least.)

    He reminds me of the ‘precious bodily fluids’ general from Dr Strangelove.

    edit: holy crap, I just rewatched the movie and RFK is EXACTLY that general. The general talks about toxins from fluoride in drinking water poisoning our precious bodily fluids. He even looks a bit like RFK. Its almost RFK is trying to act exactly like that general.

    American evangelicals when the government suggests getting a vaccine for a deadly virus- “IT’S THE MARK OF THE BEAST DON’T GET IT OR YOU’LL GO TO HELL”

    American evangelicals when people they voted for say you need to wear something on your wrist to participate in society - “This is fine”

    A wearable computer is much more similar in form to what is described in the Book of Revelation than a vaccine is, but these dumbasses don’t see that because they’re not operating on logic but instead are just doing what they’re told.
