Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary, has a history of extreme rhetoric and conspiracy theories about vaccines.

In previously unreported comments at autism conferences, Kennedy likened vaccination programs to Catholic Church abuse scandals and Nazi death camps and argued for jailing vaccine scientists.

He has falsely claimed vaccines cause autism and accused public health agencies like the CDC of corruption and hiding vaccine dangers.

Critics fear his leadership could dismantle vaccine safety efforts, decrease public trust, and disrupt public health policy.

    I just imagine a worm that caved out a little den with a bunch of tunnels running throughout the brain. Wormo got a couch and two sticks with a big red button in between that he’s using to control RFK. When he pushes the button it sends a shock through RFKs brain and he says something, like a tick. Every now and then something in another room fucks up so Wormo has to leave the sticks and jiggle-wiggle over to fix the issue and leave RFK unattended.
