[Skittles]

1. the guy is a certified KOOK

[sop]

2. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

WTF....

[milestogo]

3. Trump is overvaluing Kennedy because of his name.

He thinks that he's won over a chunk of the Democratic party or something. But after the (narcissistic) overvaluation comes the devaluation. Trump will get sick of him, just like he got sick of almost all of his staff in his first term. Kennedy will criticize his food in front of him, and it will be all over. It will be quick and brutal.

[OLDMDDEM]

5. I agree with you.

[Walleye]

9. All of these appointments are to punish those of us who didn't vote for him. Including killing us and ruining our health

[milestogo]

24. But its hard to see how this is a partisan issue.

Everyone has to have health insurance and take care of their health. You destroy the CDC and take away vaccines and you really destroy the health of the country. Surely the Repubs aren't THAT STUPID. Are they?

[Walleye]

25. I'm afraid they are exactly that stupid

[Irish_Dem]

34. Trump will keep RFKjr if he is brutal and cruel enough.

Trump will like and admire those traits.

Trump obviously wants to stick it to the American people and make us a third world country.

[milestogo]

35. And he will keep abusing third world countries as much as he can.

[Irish_Dem]

37. He will exploit and abuse everyone he can.

[Shermann]

4. I foresee another straight party line vote by the Senate

Can Susan Collins save the day again?

[Walleye]

26. Recess appointments, remember dictator on day, one.

[Autumn]

46. When did Susan save the day?

[Shermann]

47. She helped get the current HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra confirmed by a 50-49 vote. nt

[LoisB]

6. Reminds me of making Betsy DeVos Secretary of Education. The whole point is to destroy everything.

[Skittles]

7. which they are well on their way doing

home schooling may become more popular because Trump will make schools all vouchers and religious garbage

[LoisB]

14. You are correct.

[yardwork]

11. This is much, much worse.

[LoisB]

16. Yes, it is. I wonder how long it will take to imprison doctors and parents for "subjecting" children to

childhood immunizations.

[Beringia]

8. He shouldn't be anywhere near healty policy, an upside down world

[Walleye]

10. Putin has probably been riding him the whole four years about how he didn't screw us up enough when he had a chance

[MineralMan]

12. Putin Has Him Pegged!

[Skittles]

19. yes he is certainly going all out this time

national security threat on steroids

[RJ_MacReady]

13. Blue states

shouldn't listen to a word he says. Far too dangerous.

[Initech]

15. The alcoholic has been given the keys to the liquor cabinet.

And to your car. Along with directions to the nearest cliff.

[Efilroft Sul]

17. Worst "Apprentice" cast ever.

[Skittles]

20. a pox on EVERYONE who watched that POS fucking nonsense show

they VERY MUCH played a part in making Donald Fucking Trump what he is today

[Efilroft Sul]

22. Them and Mark Burnett.

[BannonsLiver]

18. Mmmmm listeria

[dalton99a]

21. POS is not qualified to manage a lemonade stand

[Crunchy Frog]

23. Just told my almost 16 year old son about this.

Explained a little about who he is and who his father was, and told him that he was "fuck'n crazy" and was an antivaxxer. Son said that he wanted to leave the country.

So I guess I've done at least one thing right as a parent.

[Skittles]

30. he cannot leave!

America NEEDS intelligent young folk!

[Silent Type]

27. Big pharma will complain. Shares of Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer, BioNTech and GSK closed lower on Thursday.

[Blue_Tires]

33. Forget big pharma, I'm complaining right now...

[yardwork]

36. It's really bad when we root for big pharma to save us...

This chaos and fear is intended.

Edited to add - I mean to say that I'm absolutely rooting for big pharma to stop this appointment!

[Bettie]

41. Big Pharma IS where vaccines

come to us from. And vaccines are good.

[Silent Type]

42. It's like ACA I hope, private insurance companies provide the services under ACA. They aren't going to let that market

go easily. And half of Medicare beneficiaries are in Medicare Advantage, again private insurers.

Yep it is twisted when we are hoping for health insurance to prevail.

[Diraven]

28. Less than zero qualifications

The only things he knows about health are conspiracy theories and things his brain worm told him.

[bluestarone]

29. These are 100% pooty's picks.

THIS has to be stopped. ( i really don't care HOW it's stopped.

[The Madcap]

31. Amerika the House of Horrors

This is pure insanity from the "mind" of a clown. So when everyone starts dying from the next plague, who will be held responsible and punished?

[Paladin]

32. We are so fucked. (nt)

[Dem4life1234]

38. That fucker is gonna bring back smallpox

Damn he's an embarrassment to a majestic family. I wish we could exchange this vile thing for JFK JR.

[Bettie]

39. I read today that he plans

to stop all research on infectious diseases....it was actually last year, he wants an 8 year "break" in such research.

(ETA: I read it today (or yesterday), but the article was from last year)

Fuckhead.

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/robert-f-kennedy-jr-vaccines-b2441705.html

Independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr attended an anti-vaccine conference, saying that he felt as if he had “come home”.

Reiterating his commitment to the goals of the movement, the conspiracy theorist who recently dropped his bid for the Democratic nomination said he would order the National Institutes of Health to take a “break” from researching infectious diseases, such as Covid-19 and measles, according to NBC News.

He added that he would instead push the agency to study chronic diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Mr Kennedy has claimed, without evidence, that both scientists and pharmaceutical companies are ignoring chronic conditions in the hunt for profits. He has argued that this effort includes pushing ineffective and dangerous treatments, and he claims that these include vaccines.
