RFK Jr does not take covid seriously in any way, he would instantly believe anybody who says the covid vaccine is worse than covid. He doesn't even believe HIV causes AIDS. I wouldn't trust him not to believe the idiots who say masks cause oxygen deprivation.
He would be the worst public health Czar of all time if he got a HHS position.
You’re right. I was only half listening and heard him talking about inaction regarding a national health epidemic. I haven’t paid much attention to this election cycle since I moved out of the country so I’m a bit uninformed about this guy outside of the memes, thanks for the context.
The dude goes to 3rd world countries (Samoa) and convinced their government not to vaccinate children for measles, causing 88 deaths of children. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/how-rfk-jr-falsely-denied-his-connection-to-a-deadly-measles-outbreak-in-samoa/
Anyway he does have decent foreign policy takes sometimes so he's not all bad, but he can never be president IMO because he's a Zionist of the highest order and he would destroy public health in the US.
For all the problems with Trump's covid response, at least he didn't block project warp speed (accelerated development/approval of vaccines). RFK Jr or his appointees would have definitely slow-rolled that while the rest of the world stocked up on the vaccines.
