Trump to select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS

Kennedy, 70, may still face a steep slope to confirmation after his years of touting debunked claims that vaccines cause autism, written a book accusing former National Institutes of Health official Anthony Fauci of conspiring with tech mogul Bill Gates and drugmakers to sell Covid-19 vaccines and said regulatory officials are industry puppets who should be removed.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Kennedy will be treated like all other nominees.

“I don’t have any preconceived notion about it,” Cornyn said.

When asked if vaccine positions might make confirmation difficult: “I’m sure it will come up.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said it’s up to the Senate to confirm or reject Kennedy but was skeptical that he was the right choice.

“Is RFK Jr. the best qualified person in the United States of America to lead us forward as we grapple with an enormous amount of health challenges in this country? The answer is clearly he is not,” Jeffries said.

In recent weeks, Kennedy has hit the media circuit to say he isn’t taking vaccines away from anyone.

“I’m going to make sure scientific safety studies and efficacy are out there, and people can make individual assessments about whether that product is going to be good for them,” he told MSNBC the day after Trump’s win.

He also claimed the Trump administration would recommend against fluoride in drinking water, which is added to prevent cavities. Kennedy has said it’s “almost certainly” causing a loss of IQ in children, as some studies have found.

More trolling from the President Elect.

Que macho!

He’s a fucking kook, but at least he ain’t no tranny or wooman.

Ought to make the MAGA antivax, science deniers happy.

Hope none of them get sick.

Pssst - don’t drink the water y’all, it’ll turn you queer or autistic.

I think he’s a great pick. He’ll do wonders managing the department. He’ll definitely save Medicare. I look forward to the good works he and the rest of Trump’s cabinet will perform. The people asked for this.

His brain is fried, listening to him talk. Probably the result of mercury poisoning, the brain worm or •••• use.

You're welcome

So you’re all in on all of these clowns?

You think they’re our best and brightest, just like Trumpler?

You think this Real Fucking Kook is gonna save the American health care system?



Please tell us why.

I think anyone Trump chooses will be 1000% better than the last 4 years. You lefties fucked this country up and now Trump will fix it. Quit whining and enjoy the ride

This is a brilliant choice. Who knows more about health than a nutty Enivronmental lawyer who can barely even talk because his brain is in such decline? I don't think people understand why Trump did this. To me, it is simple, whatever RFK Jr recommends in his new position, you just need to do the exact opposite and you'll be healthy. MAGA forever!
