Topics
Michael Kosta: 我认为 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 不适合担任卫生部长。他的反疫苗言论以及其他有争议的言论,表明他缺乏担任这一重要职位的资格。他的听证会暴露了他对疫苗的错误理解和不负责任的态度,这令人担忧。15000多名医生联名反对他的任命,这充分说明了他的观点与医学共识相悖。 他的言论不仅危及公众健康,也对他的个人声誉造成损害。尽管他在听证会上试图展现出不同的一面,但他过去的行为和言论无法轻易抹去。他的不当言论和行为,例如将动物尸体放入搅拌机等,也进一步加剧了人们对他不适合担任卫生部长的担忧。 Troy Iwata (Polio virus): 作为一种病毒,我对于 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 的反疫苗立场感到担忧。他的观点可能会导致像我这样的疾病卷土重来,对公众健康造成严重威胁。这不仅会影响个人健康,还会对社会经济造成巨大冲击。 我与 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 、Tradwife 社区和 Justin Baldoni 的危机公关公司合作,旨在重返社会。这表明,一些人利用反疫苗的言论来达到自己的目的,这令人担忧。我们需要警惕这种利用公众健康来谋取私利的行为。 Grace Kuhlenschmidt: 虽然许多纽约市民对特朗普支持的亿万富翁控制社交媒体平台感到愤怒,但他们似乎并没有准备好放弃这些应用。这种愤怒是合理的,因为这些平台上的信息可能会带有偏见,并影响公众舆论。 然而,人们对社交媒体的依赖性很高,即使他们意识到这些平台存在问题,也很难彻底放弃。这反映了社交媒体在现代社会中扮演的重要角色,以及人们对信息获取和社交互动的需求。 Rachel Mason: 家庭视频博主利用孩子进行盈利,存在严重的道德伦理问题。这些视频中,孩子们的隐私和权益常常被忽视,他们被当作赚钱的工具。 虽然一些家庭视频博主声称他们的行为是出于善意,但这种行为仍然存在潜在的风险。孩子们的成长需要隐私和保护,而过度曝光可能会对他们的心理健康和未来发展造成负面影响。我们需要对家庭视频博主进行更严格的监管,以保护儿童的权益。
