More from the cited article...

... During his presidential campaign, Kennedy developed a national profile for his criticism of the Covid vaccine and childhood immunizations. He has claimed that vaccines are tied to autism, despite evidence conveyed through studies over decades that have disproven such a claim. ...

Meanwhile, cases of measles are increasing significantly, a four-fold increase from 2023 to 2024, as vaccination rates drop.

Trump didn't appoint RFK Jr because he believed he was the most qualified person to run Medicaid, Medicare, NIH, FDA, ACA, HRS, Children & Families, etc, with the largest budget in the govt.

He appointed him because he wanted his endorsement at a critical time.

That is it.

This is only reason why RFK Jr is being put in charge of public health in the US. Trump was desperate to get him to drop out and endorse him. That's why American health is in the hands of a kooky conspiracy theorist with a background even worse than Gaetz.

He's Testing Congress with these last few picks, daring them to not confirm the appointments and thereby receive the wrath of Lord Donald the Old and Obese... and, as and Coulter mentioned, "stupid".

And if there is one Congress can that make an inept Carnival out of the Proceedings, it's the one that gave us Mike Johnson.

The WH though, is taking a lot of the Best Idiots from the House and the Rwing Media and making sure this Circus is Entertainment... which is, apparently, what they voted for; a 1984-ish Soap Opera of Incompetents and Fools.

I'm actually quite surprised. Lewzer actually doing something he said he was going to do.

These are like Vanity Picks for Trump... like Vanity Wives almost.

It shows what he thinks he can get away with. And that will be a lot, even if not everything he wants right away. But like he says, he's got another term or three in mind.

Should we start a pool on which of this first batch of draft picks gets fired first?

I'm betting Susie Wiles. Lewzer's first Chief of Staff barely lasted six months. And she's just not hot enough. I'll say replaced by Hope Hicks before the end of next year.

This is absolutely absurd.

American's love of proud ignorance is coming home to roost and by the time people are miserable and dying and tired of it it will be too late to do anything about it.

Thanks MAGA ---------. GFY.

RFK Jr.

"We're {the federal government's research programs} are going to give drug development and infectious disease research a break for like 8 years and switch all research to chronic disease"

So, magat scum, how do you feel about research just stopping on infectious diseases? Like no more flu vaccine or shingles vaccines or pneumonia or MRSA or covid vaccines? We got out of the last pandemic because we were able to develop a vaccine. What happens when the scientists who have devoted their lives to finding cures for this stuff just leave. What happens next pandemic?

This is just out and out madness

This is literally going to kill millions, ---- not having a flu vaccine will kill 10s of thousands every ------- year.

Fuvking magat scum.

#14 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-11-14 07:50 PM

not having a flu vaccine will kill 10s of thousands every ------- year.

That's a good start. But not impactful enough.

We need people dropping dead in the streets in order to convince antivaxxers to shut up and stop spreading their misinformation.

America will go through an era of ignorance before corse correcting.

Probably not in our lifetimes.

Nope. Kristi "Dog Shooter" Noem got that one.

I hear that's protocol.

What a Trump-empowered RFK Jr. could do on health care (November 3, 2024)
www.axios.com

... Former President Trump's plan to let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "go wild" on federal oversight of food and medicine could have real and serious consequences.

Why it matters: Even in an informal role, Kennedy could help diminish some of the most functional parts of the health care system, potentially leading to increases in preventable disease.

Driving the news: Kennedy recently said in a Zoom organizing call that Trump has promised him "control of the public health agencies," including HHS, CDC, FDA, NIH and the USDA.

- - - Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday that Kennedy won't be the HHS secretary. ...

@#29 ... his qualifications. ...

In your view, just what are his qualification,?

RFK Jr. Has Power to Worsen Flagging US Vaccination Rates
www.bnnbloomberg.ca

... The world is trying to figure out how much Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can do to limit vaccine use. It turns out, quite a lot.

If confirmed by the Senate to become Secretary of Health and Human Services in the next Trump administration, Kennedy will influence leadership and staff choices at agencies that develop, approve, recommend, distribute and stockpile vaccines. Accounting for about a quarter of the federal budget, HHS has pervasive reach into the lives and health of all Americans. ...
