WTF!? Just got an email from RFK JR. calling COVID an "opportunity for totalitarian elements." [View all]

I knew he was an anti-vaxxer nut, but seeing him actually trying to undermine the COVID-19 vaccination effort at a time when we're losing 4,000 people a day is stunning. This is the kind of garbage that's going to cost lives, and could possibly put us in a pandemic limbo for the indefinite future if we're not able to reach herd immunity using the vaccine. I don't know how I got on that mailing list, but obviously unsubscribed.

What a horrible, horrible person, and a stain on his father's name.
