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.
At this point, I’m hoping things get so incredibly bad that the western seaboard just secedes.
I’m fine with the Pacific States of America and the Atlantic States of America doing their own thing. Jesusland in the middle though? I want border controls on those idiots.
Just take Eastern Washington, too. Don’t let us become super Idaho.
