Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to overhaul parts of the FDA, specifically targeting the agency’s nutrition department, which he claims “are not doing their jobs” and failing to protect public health.

Kennedy, a known opponent of vaccinations and the pharmaceutical industry, said he could “clear out” corruption in health agencies. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he would give Kennedy significant influence over health policy, though Trump’s campaign denied he would lead HHS.

Experts and family members warn that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance could have serious public health repercussions.

      Well, then maybe we will be cured of the republican problem when boomers die and younger conservatives sacrifice their children to their emperor via antivaxxing.

      Nature always finds a way.

      Calling it now:

      Bird flu will make the jump this summer. It will be just like The Spanish flu and start at a pig farm in Kansas.
