The Most Dangerous Man In America

It's not Donald Trump.

It's his Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose tenure in that post shows him to be incapable of delivering either.

You might have heard about the brouhaha in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, which is out of control.   The director of the CDC was forced out over a dispute over medical science - namely, her recognition of its existence.  This led to mass resignations at the CDC, and HHS employees back in Washington are calling for their boss to resign.

The chaos comes from Kennedy's vaccine recommendations, which themselves are chaotic.  On the particular question of COVID vaccines, Kennedy has declared that priority will be given to Americans 65 and over and those under 65 with underlying conditions.  And, as feared, it appears that any Americans who do not qualify for a free COVID shot under the guidelines will not be allowed to get one even if they're willing to pay out of pocket.  They are not available to anyone who doesn't qualify.  You'll have more luck trying to buy the bones of John Merrick, the Elephant Man, from the London Hospital Medical College, as Michael Jackson (a psychopath like RFK Jr.) had tried to do, even doubling his bid for them.  But, as he found out then and as those of us who want COVID shots but don't qualify under RFK Jr.'s rules are likely to find out, some things don't have a price.  (Ironically, Trump believes otherwise.)   

I have it on good authority that even now, if you try to make an online appointment for a COVID shot at certain pharmacy chains and are under 65 and have no underlying medical conditions, you'll be turned down automatically.  Kennedy, meanwhile, is likely to - just as automatically - fill his recently depleted vaccine advisory board with anti-vax wackos like himself.  This could mean no vaccines for anything being readily available (if available at all) in 2026.  Meanwhile, in Florida, state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who is black and is thus clearly a DEI hire, is ending vaccine mandates for children, comparing mandatory vaccinations to slavery.

But Dr. Ladapo, slavery taught American Negroes vital work skills!  Just ask the Caucasian who gave you your job, Florida governor Ron DeSantis - who has been trying to make that part of the state's standard school curriculum!  (Sarcasm.)

You know, that's another reason for me to hope that the 2028 Olympics get moved out of the U.S.  The war on medical science, which medical science is clearly losing, is going to lead to a lot of Americans with severe respiratory diseases, some of whom could possibly attend Olympic events in Los Angeles while being asymptomatic and cause a mass contagion among foreign athletes and spectators.  The Super Bowl, the most insufferably American of all sporting events, which takes place in the middle of winter, could also be an annual super-spreader event for COVID, the flu, and other nasty diseases.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been dismissed for his lack of medical expertise - he is, after all, an environmental lawyer.  But that alone is not a detriment in running the Department of Health and Human Services.  Xavier Becerra, his predecessor under President Biden, is also a lawyer, and he used his legal knowledge to cut through red tape and get COVID vaccines out as quickly as possible.  If anything, being an environmental lawyer is an asset; who better than an environmental lawyer to understand how toxins and pollutants in the air and in our soil affects our health?  But while Kennedy is best known for being an environmental lawyer, his reputation in the field of environmental law is based largely on easy-peasy cases he merely signed his name to, including cases that any shyster with a law degree from a correspondence course could have won. RFK Jr., who has campaigned for years against injecting kids with drugs, is, ironically, best known for something else; he's a recovered heroin addict.   And he's a recovered heroin addict who ignores the basics of medical science and whose anti-medical-science policies are going to get us all sick and cause a lot of us to die needless deaths. 

As far as getting a COVID shot is concerned, I propose that if you are under 65 and you want one badly enough - and who with a brain wouldn't?  - the safest course of action is to tell your local pharmacist that you do in fact have an underlying condition.  And trust me, you won't be lying.

The underlying condition we Americans have, whether or not we're 65 or older, is that Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr. is the nation's Health and Human Services Secretary.
