As leaders at Centers for Disease Control quit after director’s firing, Kennedy stokes controversy with pet theories
In a week of chaos at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Donald Trump’s health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, has continued to make questionable medical and health claims – and has been slammed for them by experts and lawmakers alike.
In recent days, Kennedy has been facing increasing calls for his resignation following the Trump administration’s firing of the CDC director, Susan Monarez, which in turn prompted four other top officials to quit the agency. The chaos across US health agencies also comes as Kennedy released a slew of controversial and contradictory rules surrounding Covid-19 vaccines.
On top of all this turmoil, Kennedy has also met with significant backlash for a handful of outlandish remarks and revelations, which have only fueled the controversy surrounding his leadership at the health department.
I used to think he was just a broken-clock idiot with good intentions, now I think he’s insane and has no idea wtf he wants or is doing.
Honestly I believe he’s still on the drugs
heroin and his obssesion with wild animal carcass has damage his brain for decades.
It’s all the roadkill bear meat
Anti-vaxxers are gonna anti-vax.
Thing is, the denialist mindset doesn’t tend to limit itself to one thing. In for a penny, in for a pound. The crazy tends to come in clusters.
But he promised he wouldn’t!!
