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.

    The United States is fucked if you get another pandemic, isn’t it? They already did everything wrong on purpose last time but now it seems worse. It’s as if they want to maximize death by preventable disease.

      They’re rich. They want any kind of disaster they can get. So they can buy up more shit for cheap while the peasants struggle to survive.

    At this point, I’m hoping things get so incredibly bad that the western seaboard just secedes.

    Yeah, but immunity and all that. And the grand voice of democracy.

      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
