Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention isnt sufficiently aligned with President Donald Trumps agenda and it needs an overhaul, a day after the White House fired the director following an intense clash over vaccines, Bloomberg reports.
Said Kennedy: Some people should not be working there.

RFK Jr is just going to cause so much more death and permanent maiming of people.

(2,264 posts)He can't get over the fact that he was wrong about the whole fucking matter regarding Covid-19. But hey America, you put this stupid fucker in the White House, and it is going to cost you your lives. Here's a PSA: His asinine policies will kill republicans, and CHRISTIANS, too! And, it is not out of the realm of possibilities, that he will croak from his own stupidity when it comes to disease.Can't be soon enough.

(8,103 posts)Let's take away vaccines and see who dies and who doesn't. And, what is that agenda, anyway? I want to know. Say it to our faces. If this mentally deficient Trump disciple knows what Trump is trying to accomplish by destroying our health care assets, just tell us. Quit lying.
I doubt that this dumb cluck even realizes that Trump has set him up to take the fall if we have another major epidemic, which could easily happen. He has no excuse, and he will own it for all of history.
This makes me so mad!
Oh, and the EPSTEIN FILES. Just in case he thinks we're going to forget. Bob is in love with a pedophile. An evil, orange one.
