180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.

Trump came out for vaccines today... I think he still wants to rename the first Covid vaccine the Trump Vaccine, lol.

But Kennedy Jr. (I can't bring myself to call him Bobby Jr who, along with Mohammed Ali, was my hero when I was in high school and had to watch video of him being murdered over and over again and again on tv).

HIS OWN Family also wants this "nutjob" fired:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family calls for his resignation

"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s sister and nephew called on the secretary to resign Friday after he questioned the safety of vaccination while testifying before a congressional committee."

"Joe Kennedy III, a former U.S. congressman from Massachusetts and Kennedy's nephew, wrote on Friday that his uncle is "a threat to the health and well-being of every American."

"The challenges before us " from disease outbreaks to mental health crises " demand moral clarity, scientific expertise, and leadership rooted in fact. Those values are not present in the Secretary's office. He must resign."

Trump/Kennedy ticket?

"Robert F Kennedy Jr was asked if he would be vice-president under Donald Trump hours after the former president survived an assassination attempt in July, it has been revealed.

The startling proposal was made as part of a frantic bid to reach out to Kennedy, who was staging an independent bid for the presidency, in the name of "national unity" following the failed attempt by a lone gunman, Thomas Crooks, to kill Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on 13 July.

Kennedy reportedly rejected the suggestion from Calley Means, an entrepreneur who sometimes advised him on chronic diseases and was acting as an intermediary, according to the New York Times.

But he later called Means back to say he would be prepared to talk to Trump."

Kennedy wants to be Pres in 2028 (as if). Trump might just fire him now to get him out of the media... although letting him stay in might be better for Trump, who apparently thinks that if he can get us into a war in the next few years, he can stay in power.

put the lives and well-being of Americans at risk.

All part of Trump's (i.e. Putin's sock puppet) plan to degrade America to 3rd world status.

RFK Jr. could sell heroin to a teenager on Fifth Avenue and not lose Der Dotard's support...

Jeez. This guy. What an effin joke. Loved Bernie Sanders putting him through the wringer. How anyone believes a word out of this crackpot's mouth is beyond me, much less feels he's qualified for the position he holds.
