So then as head of Health and Human Services, he'll provide the affected communities with better nutrition and medicine? To treat the poor diets and health, right? Right?

"just as it is solely the parents' choice whether to vaccinate their children, it is also their right to choose what to feed them and how much."

[–] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, poor health like not getting vaccinated, correct?

We should just call it the Kennedy Measles outbreak.

The "RFK is a moron and anti-vaxxers a public health threat" outbreak.

Why can't this asshole die of measles? Probably because he's vaccinated.

Hey, don't say that.

We can't lose hope yet. He could still get lassa fever, or any of the other hemorrhagic fevers for which there is no vaccine yet. They are currently exploding because all resources that tamped them down got fired or cut by orange.

Shit on one and and hope in the other, then you forcefeed this stupid twat whatever hand fills up first....you can keep the second one

He needs to put his money where his mouth is, and subsidize healthy food and move to single payer insurance so that healthcare can be affordable, if he's going to spout off like that.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah this was my thought to. Oh so you're saying we need health and FDA reform? Let's fucking go then.

This jackass has had all his vaccines, I guarantee it.

[–] Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

There's still hope!

That's just eugenics with a shitty mask on.

Does this mean children eat worse in red states?

[–] seang96@spgrn.com 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

They are against free school lunches...

Edit fix funny typo

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If the kids get hungry enough, they'll start doing the agriculture jobs left open by mass deportation.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

You mean the ones worked by young children?

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, considering what I hear about the US with food deserts and stuff, I wouldn't be suprised

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Fringe theories are his entire repertoire.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

i have this crazy hypothesis that the aliens are in contact with a few powerful people, telling them we need to cull the human race to allow this planet free for colonization, infrastructure and all...that is the only thing i can think of that makes this all make sense

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can we revoke his last name somehow?

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

All the Kennedy family are corrupt fucks. At least the ones that got into office. Just because they weren't as bad as the Republicans doesn't make them good.

Political dynasties should not exist in a democracy.
