US Health and Human Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr during a recent interview on a podcast:

  • "We still did live [12-step] meetings every day during COVID. We moved from the bank -- there was about 15 of us. We moved from the bank and we got into the Palisades Playhouse, which burned down during the fire. But it was kind of a pirate group. I said, I don't care what happens, I'm going to a meeting every day.' And I said, I'm not scared of a germ, after all I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.' And I know this disease will kill me if I don't treat it, which means, for me, going to meetings every day."
