WAPO article RFK jr about to dismantle preventive healthcare in America

I don’t have access to read the article but I knew he was going to do this it’ll go along fine with ending Medicare and taking our Social Security which is also going to happen down the road.

Like I said he’ll kill millions starting right now.

Boy do we wish we could go back to 2016 and do a couple of things differently. 😡


Earlier I posted about the new resurgent stratus Covid variant and that Kennedy was going to kill millions, I meant as to how he handles vaccines not that the stratus variant is necessarily deadly but of course several people had to come on and argue with me about it here on Democratic underground😡😡😡😡

He’s going to kill millions of us. By getting rid of preventive healthcare and making sure we are not prepared at all for the next pandemic.

sending in the National Guard to Washington DC lying about crime.

But yes Kennedy is going to kill millions of us and if the Republican Party went to the piece of shit and said remove him because he doesn’t know what he’s doing it could all stop but none of them are patriots anymore, none of them are patriots😡

that advises on preventive care.

Could that be bad? Absolutely. Is it “dismantling” preventive care? Not likely, at least immediately.

He spoke of maybe getting rid of the committee- and will probably replace it like he did with the vax advisory committee.

I can think of one major thing to "do differently" if we could go back to Queens, NY in the 1940s.
