    The FDA is currently under the purview of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who in the past has said that he believes poppers cause AIDS.

    …wut?

      Butt sex. He thinks since poppers are popular in the gay community they cause AIDS. He’s essentially blaming the gay community for AIDS.

          Denialists are always going to find a way to bullshit their way into continuing to believe the nonsense they already believe.

          Believe that. I’ve watched how creationists operate for decades in IRL and online conversations. It’s unreal.

      If he’s a vaccine denier, he may also be an HIV denier?

      Usually, when it comes to bullshit denialism, it’s in for a penny, in for a pound. So once you believe complete horseshit in one area, you buy all of it: moon landing denial, Holocaust denial, evolution denial, HIV denial, climate change denial…

    I have so many fun poppers memories because it is never the first choice, it is always just “some guy” who no one actually knew but ended up at the party anyways and it is 4 in the morning and everything is out, and there are five hours until the next bus but running out of poppers is more or less impossible so now everyone is kinda happy but also kinda bummed out cause something else would have been better…
