Kennedy, a conspiracy theorist with no background in science, published a Wall Street Journal op-ed Tuesday defending his chaotic overhaul of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention amid growing calls for his resignation.

In the piece, the notorious anti-vaxxer blasted the CDC’s “dysfunction” and the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the rollout of lifesaving vaccines—dismissing them as “experimental and ineffective drugs” that he believes should not be prioritized over unproven alternatives.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., makes his way to the inaugural Great American Farmers Market on the National Mall on Monday, August 4, 2025.


“That dysfunction produced irrational policy during Covid: cloth masks on toddlers, arbitrary 6-foot distancing, boosters for healthy children, prolonged school closings, economy-crushing lockdowns, and the suppression of low-cost therapeutics in favor of experimental and ineffective drugs,” Kennedy wrote.

3. Usually my wife and I get our boosters around this time of year

Asked at the pharmacy today and was told Covid shots haven't been approved yet. Will they be? Trump may kill us all.

8. Trump wants this.

He wants Americans suffering from pandemics, broke, hungry, and fighting a civil war with each other.

9. Yeah. We used to go to CVS

But I read that's uncertain. So I asked where I get my other prescriptions filled. She said the vaccine wasn't approved at all, so I guess until it is it won't be available anywhere in any state.

I am hoping to get reimbursed if/when Medicare covers it, but not counting on it.
