Summary

Donald Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as U.S. health secretary has sparked backlash, with critics labeling Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist, a “clear and present danger.”

Advocacy group Public Citizen warned the appointment could lead to a “public health catastrophe,” while physicians condemned Kennedy’s history of spreading vaccine misinformation, linking it to fatal outbreaks like the 2019 Samoa measles epidemic.

Kennedy has also promoted debunked health claims, including raw milk and ivermectin for COVID, prompting fears his leadership could undermine U.S. health infrastructure.

I'm glad it's so entertaining for you to watch generations of lives destroyed

I mean shit I’m one of the lives being destroyed and even I have to admit it’s entertaining in a “train wreck full of my friends and family” kinda way

Didn't they vote for that to happen??

Millions of morons did. Probably makes you morally corrupt to think it's entertainment because it's under the false premise that the destruction of the victims is desired.

Watching them commit political Sudoku never gets old. They'll never work in govt again after a post in his administration.

Uniquely brain damaged 😅

I wonder if a brain worm is considered like bonus rarity when collecting forms of brain damaged political figures- like a holographic trading card
