Trump picks vaccine sceptic RFK Jr for health secretary
Trump said in a statement he was "thrilled to announce" Kennedy's nomination.
Speculation had grown that Trump planned to hand his former rival a key healthcare role.
He told supporters at his election night victory party that Kennedy wanted to "help make America healthy again".
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump said in his statement on Thursday.
"Mr Kennedy will restore these Agencies [Health and Human Services] to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"
I'm gobsmacked! I always thought RFK would be going the way of his uncle with a bullet in the head after all his attacks on big pharma and destroying Fauci the way he did.
I think this is a very radical move by Trump and I'm impressed. Trouble is I see Kennedy even closer to that bullet now.

Yeah, he was a true champ at spreading his anti-measles vaccine … crazy … in Samoa. It’s a shame at least 80 dead people (mostly kids) are unavailable for comment.

What was his anti measles vaccine?
Do you mean an anti vaccine stance?
Do you know how much shit kids in the US eat, that isn't in UK or European food?
Reckon that trash has shortened the lives of any American kids?

Let's look at food dyes. They provide no nutritional value, provide no flavor and are petroleum based.
They are a poison at some level, but the FDA says they are OK at low levels.
Sounds like a no brainer for an agency designed to protect the health of its citizens.
Yet kids in the US anyway, are scarfiing down shit foods full of dyes to make the food more attractive.

Each of us, and parents in particular, are personally responsible for what we put in our mouths.

A wording error that I couldn’t correct after I posted it. Nevertheless, I assume you get the gist of what I was trying to say.
As for food additives and colourants, I do hear you. But as Digger said, personal choice should factor into it all too.
The issues sure AF don’t need a shambolic brain-rotted clown like Jr. as the custodian of an entire nation’s health. Unlike the credentialed medical health professionals and research scientists he’d be overseeing, he has ZERO medical/research/scientific credentials or expertise, and his lifetime of drug/steroid addiction has completely decimated his vocal cords.
And let’s not overlook the brain worm he has publicly admitted chowed down on a part of his brain. I can’t help wondering if that’s down to him eating a chunk of the bear cub meat he likes to keep in his fridge, after its best-before date.
trump is trolling America by adding this nomination to his proposed cabinet clown car. Make Polio Great Again, right?

I don't disagree, but they are everywhere. Even children's medicine.

How's the status quo been working?
Those dumb fuckers can't even pick low hanging fruit (ban petroleum additives in our food) because they let the multi national food companies write the laws as to what goes in our food..
There's a revolving door between these conglomerates, their lobbyists and the employees at the FDA and the NIH..
It's going to require an outsider. Also, that outsider will be maligned as much as possible by the folks who are quite happy with the status quo..
RFK has some odd beliefs, but he's also been a lawyer for decades that has taken on the powerful.
He's not going to stop people from getting vaccines That's just hyperbole. He will require testing, release the results of that testing so people really know what they are getting, and make manufacturers responsible when they harm people.
Another words, he'll do what government should do..

Dr Means was one of the four in the above media. Folks that love the status quo are already attacking her.
Good luck, lol..

I don’t want to get too much deeper into the weeds, MD. This post in response, then I’ll back off.
I’ve been LMFAO at RFK Jr - the intrepid champion railing against the industrial food complex - photographed on trump’s jet with a tray of Maccy D cheeseburger/nuggets/large fries/Coke in front of him. Make Americans Hypocrites Again
I agree that the efficiency of bloated government agencies should be monitored, of course - especially HHS! But surely that oversight should be conducted by fully credentialed, experienced, apolitical experts. Not by some addled nutjob whose only USP is his surname, and whose only medical/scientific research expertise seems to be with the syringes he used, to inject heroin/steroids/random pharmaceutical shite into his arm. So WTF qualifies this guy to demand specific testing protocols, and then deciding which tests can be made public??
Pretty much the entire Kennedy clan think he’s a butt-clenching cringing embarrassment. And I believe John F Kennedy’s grandson publicly said it best: “He’s trading in on Camelot, celebrity, conspiracy theories and conflict for personal gain and fame.”
