I must be honest about the picture I am using with this piece on Ellen Barkin. She does not look like this anymore, but the only picture I have of her in my library is from 2017. It's bad when someone in Hollywood has become so irrelevant that we don't even make fun of them anymore. Part of the reason we stopped covering her may be because the last time we wrote about Barkin, she blocked us, so until Musk made it possible to see posts from those who block, we wouldn't have seen her hysteria.
And I say we because she blocked ME, too.
It's no big loss, but when I saw this on my timeline and realized she had blocked both Twitchy and me, you know I have to write about her.
The meltdown started here:
RFK Jr.: "Gardasil, is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen. This vaccine targets millions of preteens and teens for whom the risk of dying from cervical cancer is zero.

His post continues:
RFK Jr.: "Gardasil, is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen. This vaccine targets millions of preteens and teens for whom the risk of dying from cervical cancer is zero. The death rates in the, Gardasil trials were 37 times the death rates for cervical cancer."
"Children who take that vaccine, the Gardasil vaccine, are 37 times more likely to die from the vaccine than they are to die from cervical cancer. So the problem with Gardasil, like most vaccines, is it was never tested against a true placebo on an Earth placebo."
If you watch this video, it's clearly not recent, as RFK Jr. looks younger. Plus the quality isn't great.
Welp, this is what caused her to flip out:
NOPE NOPE LIE LIE LIE

Cervical cancer is about to be eliminated by Gardasil, you dangerous piece of shit https://t.co/SnizzuKiNs
I'm not sure if she's actually correct here, and looking through the replies, some people agree with her, and others agree with RFK Jr. Gotta be honest, since Trump brought in some Democrats to his team, the answers for us and for me aren't always that simple.
Could she be correct? Of course.
But is she a screeching, unbearable harpy, so it's difficult to take her seriously even if she is correct? Absolutely.
