Trump has also raised the prospect of sidestepping the confirmation process with recess appointments.

Kennedy brings a deep skepticism of pharmaceutical companies and the federal agencies overseeing them. But now he could soon be in charge of those same agencies as he pursues his “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.

“RFK Jr. has championed issues like healthy foods and the need for greater transparency in our public health infrastructure,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said in a statement. “I look forward to learning more about his other policy positions and how they will support a conservative, pro-American agenda.”

Cassidy will lead the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee next session. The HELP Committee has jurisdiction over most health nominees, but the Senate Finance Committee confirms the HHS Secretary.

The move roiled Democrats and public health leaders, who worry Kennedy could meddle with key government agencies, amplify vaccine hesitancy and direct agency funding to favor his preferred views.

“Mr. Kennedy’s outlandish views on basic scientific facts are disturbing and should worry all parents who expect schools and other public spaces to be safe for their children,” Senate Finance Committee chairman Ron Wyden (Di-Ore.) said in a statement. “When Mr. Kennedy comes before the Finance Committee, it’s going to be very clear what Americans stand to lose under Trump and Republicans in Congress.”

Appropriations Committee chair Patty Murray said comfirming RFK Jr. “would be nothing short of a disaster for the health of millions of families. I urge my Senate Republican colleagues to join me in forcefully condemning and opposing this catastrophic nomination.”

Murray called Kennedy’s selection “dangerous.”

“There is no telling how far a fringe conspiracy theorist like RFK Jr. could set back America in terms of public health, reproductive rights, research and innovation, and so much else,” Murray said

Kennedy founded one of the most prominent anti-vaccine groups in the country and has promoted the debunked claim that childhood vaccines cause autism. Kennedy said in recent interviews he doesn’t want to take away any approved vaccines, but he claims that health agencies haven’t done enough research on them.

The nomination is a reward for Kennedy, who ran first as a Democrat in the presidential race before switching to an independent, and then dropping out and throwing his support behind Trump. It’s also an acknowledgement that Kennedy’s big bet on Trump paid off substantially.

First as an independent candidate for president and then as a surrogate for Trump, Kennedy has said federal health regulators are “sock puppets” held captive by industry special interests. Kennedy vowed to purge entire departments at the FDA to root out corruption.

In a post on X in October, Kennedy said the Food and Drug Administration’s “war on public health is about to end.”

“If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags,” he added.

Kennedy has most recently claimed he wants to eliminate fluoride in the country’s drinking water supply, concerning health officials who consider adding the mineral chemical a major advancement to preserving teeth.

In the closing days of the campaign, Trump said he would let Kennedy “go wild” on the government’s health care systems.

“He’s going to help make America healthy again. … He wants to do some things, and we’re going to let him get to it,” Trump said in a victory speech at Mar-a-Lago after the election.

Just days prior to the election, Trump transition team co-chair Howard Lutnick told CNN Kennedy could pull liability protections from manufacturers of vaccines that are already on the market and reduce the number of vaccines on the recommended schedule.

Lutnick implied data on vaccine safety is being hidden, and that if Kennedy got access to that information he would prove vaccines are dangerous and compel companies to recall them.

“I'm a crazed, self righteous fart-huffing retard, and if I have any say in the matter, then he’s not getting a job for HHS,” Lutnick told CNN.

Reminder that Samoa decided to listen to RFK's advice, cancelled their vaccination program, and then 80+ children died from measles the next year.

>>1362339
Reminder that American Samoa has had. Measles outbreak every year since 2013.
Questioning whether RFK has said anything negative about the measles vaccine or if the poster I'm replying to is just a day huffing faggot.

>>1362347
No it didn't anon, what are you talking about?
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Samoa_measles_outbreak
>In 2013, 90% of babies in Samoa received the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination at one year of age

RFK was part of the anti-vaxers who saw two kids seemingly die from the vaccine (it turned out later a pair of nurses had fucked up and mixed the vaccine with muscle relaxant instead of a normal diluting agent) and hyped it up as an example of vaccines being dangerous. He partied with anti-vaxxers and talked to their health officials in the middle of a period of public distrust. The vaccination program didn't go up, a measles outbreak happened, and 80+ people died.

>>1362339
>and then 80+ children died from measles the next year.
"83 people, including children"
Wow. I don't really care but nice job claiming it was exclusively children to win over the "I lied again" crowd

I wonder how many American children died from having their gender dysphoria reinforced by hormones and having their mental illnesses reinforced as normal rather than treated with therapy

>>1362351
87% of reported deaths were children.

So far, I gotta say trumps cabinet is shaping up to be a real banger. We got RFK handling health, tulsi gabbard leading intelligence, gaetz on the ag, hegseth for defense...
Gonna be a good second term

>>1362349
>He partied with anti-vaxxers and talked to their health officials in the middle of a period of public distrust.
So what did he actually do that you think caused 150k people to decide not to get vaccinated?
Because it sounds like from you own post It was during an already existing "period of public distrust"

>>1362355
>Antivaxer for health
>Russia apologist for intelligence
>sex trafficker for ag
>news host who never made it past major for defense

This is looking to be a massive shitshow.

>>1362356
>Sees people questioning vaccines
>Literally has an entire non-profit set up to make people not take vaccines
>convinces health officials it's fine if vaccination programs are lacking

Please don't get so upset you murder your family like the other Democrats have been doing

You sound like a Redditor. Normal, functioning people do not butt themselves in conversations like this.

>>1362360
You don't need to bring up what you heard on the news to every conversation you find. Seriously what was the point in that comment? Actual Reddit tier communication this is.

>>1362359
Wow these are a lot more accusations you are pulling out of your ass. You originally said he "partied with anti vaxxers" and now you claim he has a non profit operating in Samoa dedicated to making Samoans not take vaccines.
You have any proof of this samoan non profit?

>>1362357
He's not an antivaxer though. He's just against some vaccines because they pose a health risk.

>>1362362
>You don't need to bring up what you heard on the news while on /news/
I disagree, crazy person

>>1362366
This isn't a thread about the murderer. We expand on our current topic, instead of bringing up irrelevant or barely relevant shit and adding nothing to it. When you post something, think about what it adds to the conversation. Understood Redditard?

>>1362367
Your speech police of 4chan, faggo, you're just another lefty having a melty and if I want to talk about news on /news/ I'll do so

>>1362363
You can find pictures of him hanging out with an anti-vaxxer in Samoa on their instagram and his anti-vax non-profit has multiple articles both on it's website and on facebook blaming the outbreak on the vaccine and the initial 2 deaths on the vaccine itself and not nurse error, even after the cause was discovered.

I'd post the links but I keep getting caught by the spam filter.

This motherfucker wrote a book detailing how measles isn't that bad and the vaccine isn't nessasary. He's an anti-vaxxer.

Anti-vaxxers are against all vaccines anon. This guy just has a few issues with certain vaccines.

There's literally nothing wrong with scrutinizing something that society condemns you for questioning.

Yeah I guess I just don't see the connection here, I really don't believe Samoans are following rfks Facebook account

I hope RFK can find a vaccine for liberalism

RFK wants to take a look at the polio, measles, and covid vaccines, and also HIV and cancer treatment. He wants to crash big pharma. Long time coming if you ask me.

>>1362391
Your study got debunked. Subsequent looks into polio vaccines that got contaminated with SV40 yielded no actual increased cancer rates with the people who got it that could actually be linked back to it in the 70+ years that passed since.

The article is likewise bullshit. It's physically impossible for the fragments of dna from sv40 in that were present in the pfizer vaccine to affect your own dna.

>>1362395

By who?

By multiple studies that looked into if there was an increased cancer rate among those who took the contaminated vaccines and found nothing. Here's one by the National Cancer Institute

>>1362407
Your link doesn't cite the studies. It just says some studies are coming in the future.
It also says
>For further information, please see the NCI's fact sheet about SV40, available at http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/sv40
But that web page doesn't exist.

>>1362408
Because this is an article from 2004. That's how long this shit has been debunked. The site has since been updated and looking for SV40 on it gets you this.

Something else I noticed about that link.
>Engels concluded, "Our results should be reassuring to military veterans of the 1950s and 1960s, some of whom received adenovirus vaccines. This study did not find that their exposure to this vaccine was related to an increased risk of cancer."
This quote doesn't actually exist anywhere on the internet outside of this article. I plugged into google and it spat out various blogs citing this same article.
Is this entire thing AI generated?

Nigger, scientific studies existed before 2004. You gave me a link that uses non-existent quotes and lists no primary sources.

Yeah, and then I found the actual study which you keep ignoring. Your study has been debunked for so long the primary sources had their links changed. Now read:

Dr Zaius looking tranvestite

tRump is a 3d chess level troller of shitlibs.As a reader of the Onion, I couldn't have done better. Gaetz may be the only one not confirmed. I think, like that scene from Wrath of Khan, RFK Jr is putting alien worms in the ears of all important tRump politicians . Biden has been taken over as well. RFK Jr as head of health, will introduce a new type of ear cleaning medical treatment for all kids. The new DAWN will Be the perfect Socialism, where we are one hive mind, Ala Invasion of the BS, OR THE Thing.


PS. Marge T Green's brain worm didn't take, as there was too little material for the worm to take over. Other failures are T . Tuberville, Ron Johnson to name a few. Geeze, 1/2 the GOP may not be viable. Guess Elon shoulda started with the Dems first

Vaccines and "medicine" are just a way the democrats funnel money to big pharma. At best they do nothing. At worse, they cause diseases such as autism and osteoporosis. The only way to deal with disease is to >>1362579 or avoid catching it. That's why Trump and RFK oppose health "scientists" and agencies like the CDC. It's literally just climate change but accepted by both sides for some dumbass reason.

>>1362608
>Smallpox, polio, and measles just went away on their own!

>>1362584
I hope RFK develops a vaccine for liberalism. I'm pretty certain if someone proposed one he would throw the full weight of the HHS around to support it

>>1362584
getting sick is just a fact of life. if you are worthy you get better.

Selfish cunt. If we were in ancient times you'd be cast out of the tribe for refusing to contribute to the community.

>>1362609
What if smallpox, polio, and measles prevent autism?

>>1362627
youd be out for not obeying to trump

>>1362627
And you'd be gone for peddling vaccine poison. There is not a single good vaccine.

>>1362609
>government controls statistics
>lies so they can continue pumping us with poison
Newsflash, they never went away, the government is covering it up. Anyone who catches those diseases is disappeared and the government hypnotizes the family members to believe they died of other causes or never existed to begin with. This is why the democrats dump fluoride into the water and force vax on us, it's so they can rewire our brains to obey them.

>>1362339
Yes 80+ children died with a positive test. It's not like theres much more than 80+ kids that every year in a poor country like that.

Its coming from the same people counted car accidents as covid deaths.

At best the vaccine can only prevent a positive test It wont prevent any symptoms because it wasnt the "virus" that caused the symptoms to beign with anyways.

Even after countries like USA eradicated measles the symptoms that the "measles virus" is said to cause in children are still the most common childhood symptoms.
