That is simply a disgraceful decision to put a far right loony in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services, especially after his anti-vaccine rants, amongst other nonsense quotes and as for the "health revolution" in this post, well, the health of everyone from newborns, to children to adults will be adversely affected, sad to say. And this is a good article which I came across this morning: –

 

The Senate has just confirmed as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, a science denialist who once said there is no vaccine that is safe and effective, who has suggested that Covid might have been genetically engineered to spare Jewish and Chinese people and who spent more than 100 pages in his recent book breathing new life into the idea that HIV does not cause Aids.
All of this is nonsense, of course, but hardly a laughing matter. I am afraid for our country because I know what happens when science denialism comes into power.

He was previously an environmental lawyer who sued chemical giant Monsanto and accused climate-change deniers of being traitors.

But he has spent much of the past two decades touting conspiracy theories from linking childhood vaccines to autism and suggesting the Covid virus spared Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people, to casting doubt on whether germs cause infectious diseases.

 

How much more nonsense and stupidity will the GOP be responsible for.........all just to please the orange buffoon?

I'm afraid theres going to be a lot of nasty, corrupt, weak  and delusional people getting a dose of reality over the next few years and well into the next decade if they keep up the dellusions and screeching.. No one is in the slightest bit interested in the hate and feather spitting but their own ever shrinking echo chambers .... most of the world is more interested in a safe and more healthy future.. 

 

The hope of peace and positive attitude is already spreading around the globe  and its a feeling many have missed dearly, watch it take hold and enjoy the mass public and international awakening as the people demand their own purge and realignment of common sense over corruption and fools. Enjoy the  globalist haters crumble into their own tears and frustrations how irrelevant they have become. Not overnight either, ive seen it building for a decade, now the dams burst  and theres no stopping it.

 

Pray for these fools running about spitting hate and disbelief.. they are gonna need  a lot of mental health help.

Up to you if you want to believe that nut job.........seems like the worm ate the part of his brain which determines common sense, logic and intelligence. 

 

And your answer to his rant that "the Covid virus spared Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people"  is sure to be doozy!!

You should really get some of that common sense, do your research properly & youll realise how woefully out of touch you are...  yada yada muh quote yada yada.. it dosnt change the facts.. 

 

Unhealthiest nation on Earth  the US, Fact .. cant do worse  now can he ?  Maybe and most likely your unable to  realise what your spouting is of no consequence to anyone at all but you. 

 

You can thank me when Bobby helps your offspring from going on meds like the other 75% of the US ... you DO have offspring dont you ? i mean you ARE invested in the future generations personally right ?  if so why would you NOT wish for a more healthy opportunity and that your wrong rather than the bleak alternative ?

 

Stop and think about it, if you can bare the thought process that is.

You didn't answer my question..........and if that nutter who is anti-vax and who spouted the following nonsense gets his way then god help America:-

 

Fluoride

A few days before the election, Kennedy took to X to announce that “on January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.” His reason for this? “Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” he claimed in the same tweet. 

 

There are a small number of studies indicating that excessive amounts of fluoride in drinking water may lead to conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, and muscular damage, as well as lower IQ in children. However, fluoride is currently added to drinking water at a concentration that’s high enough to strengthen teeth and help prevent tooth decay, but low enough to minimize potential health risks, per the recommendation of the U.S. Public Health Service. Plus, as data from cities like Calgary, Alberta, and Juneau, Alaska, demonstrate, dental problems increase when fluoride is removed from the community water supply.

Antidepressants

While conservatives — including Trump — are quick to blame the country’s mass shooting epidemic on the mental health of perpetrators, Kennedy takes a related but different approach: blaming antidepressants. “Prior to the introduction of Prozac, we had almost none of these events in our country,” he said during a June 2023 Twitter Spaces conversation hosted by Elon Musk, referring to mass shootings. 

Along the same lines, in an interview with Turkish state-owned news channel TRT World in January, Kennedy called on the NIH to research potential connections between mass shootings and “some of the SSRI and psychiatric drugs people are taking.” However, there is no credible evidence establishing a link between mass shootings and antidepressants.

The Most Alarming Moments From RFK Jr.'s Confirmation Hearing

 

Atrazine and other chemicals

Between March 2022 and June 2023, Kennedy made a number of comments claiming that man-made chemicals “raining down on our children” cause “very profound sexual changes in them,” including “sexual confusion” and “gender confusion.” He is especially concerned about atrazine, a herbicide commonly used in the U.S. — a view he expressed in a June 2023 episode of The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, which was removed from YouTube later that month because it spread misinformation. 

“If you, in a lab, put atrazine in a tank full of frogs, it will chemically castrate and forcibly feminize every frog in there,” Kennedy said on the podcast, referring to a 2010 study from the University of California, Berkeley. “If it’s doing that to frogs, there’s a lot of other evidence that it’s doing it to human beings as well,” he claimed, also noting that “a lot of the sexual dysphoria that we’re seeing” is probably “coming from chemical exposures.” Kennedy, however, didn’t provide any of this supposed evidence. That’s probably because according to experts, there’s absolutely no indication that atrazine has the same effect on humans as it does on frogs.

Raw milk

As the debate over unpasteurized milk raged this summer, Kennedy told an audience at an event that he “only drink[s] raw milk.” He elaborated on his stance a few weeks later, tweeting, “Ag departments cracking down on small farmers selling raw milk. Meanwhile, USDA and FDA allow big corporations to pour toxic chemicals into our food and soil. I will reverse those priorities.” 

 

In another statement posted on Twitter on Oct. 25, he warned that the “FDA’s war on public health is about to end,” including its “aggressive suppression” of raw milk along with “anything else that advances human health and can’t be patented by Pharma,” like hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, and nutraceuticals. 

While Kennedy’s promotion of raw milk is potentially dangerous, he was right about one thing: The FDA is indeed trying to aggressively suppress the consumption of raw milk because, as the agency explains in a March 2024 advisory, “raw milk can contain a variety of disease-causing pathogens, as demonstrated by numerous scientific studies.”

Wi-Fi 

Kennedy has also made some big claims about the dangers of Wi-Fi. In a June 2024 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, he said that “Wi-Fi radiation does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer.” He went on to clarify that “Wi-Fi radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier and so all these toxins that are in your body can now go into your brain.” When Rogan asked Kennedy to explain how that happens, RFK Jr. replied,” now you’re going beyond my expertise,” though he later said that “it degrades your mitochondria.”  

While Kennedy claimed that “there are tens of thousands of studies that show the horrendous danger of Wi-Fi radiation,” researchers at the Poynter Institute were unable to confirm that figure. They did find more than 50 studies on radio frequency energy’s possible effects on the blood-brain barrier, but many involved levels far higher than people receive from Wi-Fi. And according to Kenneth Foster, an emeritus bioengineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania, those studies “have not provided clear evidence” that exposure to levels of radio frequency energy below accepted limits — including Wi-Fi — disrupts the blood-brain barrier.

HIV and AIDS

At this point, it is an established scientific fact that, if left untreated, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) can lead to AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Yet, in a June 2023 interview, Kennedy told New York Magazine that nobody knows whether HIV is solely responsible for AIDS, and that “there are much better candidates than HIV for what causes AIDS.” Like what, you ask? 

Well, in his 2021 book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, Kennedy refers to a theory from the early 1980s that “heavy recreational drug use in gay men and drug addicts was the real cause of immune deficiency” and that “the initial signs of AIDS” were “strongly linked to amyl nitrate — ‘poppers’ — a popular drug among promiscuous gays,” citing the long-debunked work of Peter Duesberg, a prominent AIDS denialist. 

More recently, Kennedy can be seen promoting this position in a video that the right-wing watchdog group PatriotTakes posted in June 2023, falsely claiming that “100 percent of the people who died — the first thousand who had AIDS — were people who were addicted to poppers” who he describes as “people who were part of a gay lifestyle.” In addition to being baseless, this stance stigmatizes LGBTQ+ individuals, placing blame for the AIDS epidemic on an already marginalized population.

 

Covid-19 

During a July 2023 press event in New York City, Kennedy told attendees that “Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people,” while “the people who are most immune [to the virus] are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” according to a video published by the New York Post. He chalked this up to “genetic differentials among different races of the ACE2 receptor,” but he didn’t provide any further details on the science. 

“The claim that Covid-19 was a bioweapon created by the Chinese or Jews to attack Caucasians and Black people is deeply offensive and feeds into sinophobic and anti-semitic conspiracy theories about Covid-19 that we have seen evolve over the last three years,” the Anti-Defamation League said in a statement following Kennedy’s remarks.

Three years earlier, in an August 2020 speech, Kennedy said that he thought it was possible that the U.S. government planned and orchestrated the Covid-19 pandemic. “A lot of it feels very planned to me,” Kennedy said in a video published by the Bulwark. These comments are even less surprising coming from him following his announcement on Wednesday that CHD funded the viral Covid conspiracy film Plandemic.

Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine 

In a July 2023 interview with Watters, Kennedy blamed Fauci for causing “a lot of injury” during the Covid-19 pandemic “by withholding early treatment from Americans.” More specifically, he believes that the U.S. ended up having more Covid deaths than any other country because ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were not provided as treatments. In October, Kennedy included the two drugs on a list of things he believes are being kept from the American public because of the FDA’s “aggressive suppression” (along with raw milk). 

But that’s not entirely true: Ivermectin is FDA-approved for treating certain parasitic infections, head lice, and skin conditions, while hydroxychloroquine is FDA-approved to treat malaria and autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. However, neither were found to be effective treatments for Covid-19.

Seed oils and beef tallow

In an Oct. 21 tweet, Kennedy said that Americans are being “unknowingly poisoned” by seed oils, claiming that they’re “one of the driving causes of the obesity epidemic.” Instead of canola, corn, sunflower, and peanut oils, for example, he suggests that cooking with beef tallow would be healthier. But experts like Megan Hollendonner, RD, a licensed dietitian at University Hospitals in Cleveland, say that “eating healthy is all about balance and your overall diet, not labeling one particular ingredient as bad or toxic.” 

And when finding that balance, seed oils — which, thanks to omega-6 fatty acids, can help improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease — are considered healthier than butter, lard, or tallow, which are high in saturated fat. If you’re as passionate about rendered animal fat as Kennedy, you’re in luck: “Make Frying Oil Tallow Again” merch is available on his website.

Hes said time and again he's not anti Vax, his kids are vaxed, hes vaxed etc .. just not with  bad and untested stuff peddled as vaccines.. Same as the conclusion I came to long ago. Not hard to figure out the scamdemic was all about making $ off of half baked, untested &  dangerous slop & why half has been withdrawn  since they first peddled it..I know I know, im a terribly bad man.. but then im waking up just fine every day not worrying about any stuff floating around in my system.. and after all the freakadeeks including on here telling people to get the shot or youll kill grandma its still my body my choice never shut down never stopped going  out, ignored all restrictions, nor wore face nappys  & ive never been healthier..  Not one sniff in 8 years and its not down to medical or government  advice just common sense and clean healthy living. Bobby knows his stuff and will sort your sick country  out dont worry.  

 

 Yknow posting in large letters dosnt make any difference or prove a thing, other than it looks your becoming unhinged and a bit desperate...   go get a som tam,relax by the pool and let bobby make your country healthy again...

Well, I don't think you are a "terribly bad man", just "one of trumps favourite people". He said he likes the "poorly educated".

 

And just to disprove one of your rants, as an example the measles vaccination has been around for decades and has been proven to be safe, so is hardly untested and dangerous slop as you say, yet Kennedy, along with some anti-VAX nutters spread rumours about the efficacy of this vaccine when he visited Samoa and as a result the vaccination rates in Samoa fell off quite markedly and the measles outbreak killed 83 mostly babies in that tiny island.

 

He also lied about that when he said that tissue samples were sent to New Zealand, and they weren't, and the measles outbreak in Samoa was confirmed by visiting NZ doctors. Also to quote the Director General of Health, "Kennedy claimed tissue samples sent to New Zealand did not show any trace of the virus".
"Eighty-three people died. When tissue samples were sent to New Zealand, most of those people did not have measles, we do not know what was killing them," Kennedy said., and that's a complete lie.

That's a complete lie. There was only one post mortem - no tissues were sent to New Zealand for the rest of the deaths in Samoa, because it was not necessary, as it was obvious these people died from measles said Aiono Professor Dr Alec Ekeroma.

You also mention "my sick country" but you have no idea what country I hail from, and that's quite obvious from your post.

And you still haven't answered the question I posed a few posts back, so perhaps you would get round to it now: – do you believe "the Covid virus was engineered to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people" (Kennedy baselessly claimed that COVID had been “ethnically targeted” to avoid “Ashkenazic Jews and Chinese.”).  

And your answer is........
