RFK Jr bafflegab
RFK Jr is testifying today at a Senate panel on HHS policies. Sen. Wyden said the secretary “stacked the deck” of a vaccines committee, replacing scientists with “vaccine skeptics and conspiracy theorists.” Kennedy said his actions “got rid of the conflicts of interests” he said had pervaded such panels. So according to RFK Jr, scientific expertise is a conflict of interest on a vaccine committee? Who knew.
RFK Jr also claimed he had support from scientists and doctors “all over the country.” Of course, far more scientists and physicians oppose RFK Jr’s policies and decisions, including the American Medical Association, American Public Health Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Look, all authoritarian governments sow distrust in institutions. That’s what Trump is doing with the Fed, with the BLS, with NATO, with elections, with immigration law and with the US dollar. RFK Jr is instrumentalizing this distrust at the CDC and NIH.
A request to make RFK Jr testify under oath was brushed aside by the Republican committee chair. So why should we trust RFK Jr’s testimony?
We shouldn’t.

Yes Joel:
This guy is a damn moron. I am belittling morons as they probably do not lie like Robert. When he talks, he sounds like crap. He is making stuff up, because he can. Next question? Can you supply supporting evidence aligning the healthcare and medical evidence supporting your claims?
He can’t and neither can his boss.
I misuse the word as a moron has a mild intellectual disability. Robert is making stuff up to justify his actions and to please Tr__p.
@Bill,
Which makes RFK Jr a successor to William Jennings Bryan, who H.L. Mencken called “The idol of all Morondom.”
Joel:
I read that too . . . a long time ago. Thank you for the chuckle and the trip down memory lane.
Bear with me (heh): Give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for initiating and overseeing Operation Warp Speed and the rapid development of the covid vaccines. Make him 1) accept the award and admit to the world that they’re the best thing since hot water or 2) deny to a world that knows they’re the best thing since hot water they’re not the best thing since hot water, they don’t work and Warp Speed was a failure
What’s it gonna’ be, boy, yes, or no … ?
You KNOW what it will be! He’ll accept the prize, thank the committee, and go off on a long rant about how Democrats prevented him from getting it in his first term and how they are destroying America from within, and how immigration is weakening Europe, and…
Refusing to put Kennedy under oath is nothing less than admission that the GOP knew he was going to lie.
