Summary

Ahead of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearings for Health and Human Services Secretary, his niece, Dr. Kerry Kennedy Meltzer, leaked private emails revealing his false claims about Covid-19 vaccines.

The emails, spanning 2020-2022, show RFK Jr. citing vaccine skeptics, linking vaccines to autism, and questioning flu shots.

Meltzer, a physician, released them to highlight his “misguided views” as senators express bipartisan concerns.

RFK Jr. dismissed her ICU experiences, alleging CDC data manipulation.

Neither Kennedy nor the Trump administration responded to requests for comment.

    RFK Jr. dismissed her ICU experiences, alleging CDC data manipulation.

    Fuck this guy. I don’t understand how anyone bought into his presidential campaign and then donated to it, and I don’t understand how he was a draw to Trump’s campaign. How fucking sadistic/detached from reality do you have to be to not know from firsthand experience someone who landed in the ICU from COVID. Were those 300,000 Americans who died only related to us lefties and these rich fuckos didn’t know a single one of us? If that’s the case… What does that say? What does it mean that the people now in power have absolutely no connection to us, the people?

        Any insights into what the fuck is wrong with your pastor? So far I’ve been able to piece together the red hat mentality all comes down to being so goddamn fucking stupid that you don’t even realize empathy ultimately benefits the empathetic. But the RFK Jr tempo makes frankly no sense to me at all

          I think you pretty much said it better than I could. I left the Church a few years ago because they didn’t see what was unchristian about hitching their horse up to fascists.
