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.
From who, care to explain?
From RFK Jr, for criticizing the church, even if it’s just in passing.
I did not expect that from him at all.
So you think he’s still a Catholic or not?
It’s hard to say really.
I want to say “he isn’t one anymore” since publicly saying something bad about the church seems to be a very big no-no, specially for these cult-like public figures, but who knows.
I’d even say he might not believe but might also not switch just because he’s been a believer for so long it’s hard to change.
