NEW YORK – The New York Post editorial on Monday, argues forcefully that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is entirely unfit to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), citing his long history of promoting conspiracy theories and medical misinformation. His Senate confirmation hearings only reinforced these concerns.

The editorial highlights Kennedy’s refusal to unequivocally deny a link between vaccines and autism, despite overwhelming scientific evidence debunking any connection. When pressed by Senator Bernie Sanders to confirm that vaccines do not cause autism, Kennedy dodged the question, insisting he wouldn’t enter HHS with “preordained” views. Even when presented with solid data by Senator Bill Cassidy, a physician, Kennedy continued defending his past skepticism.
Beyond vaccines, Kennedy has also spread conspiracy theories about 9/11 and suggested that Wi-Fi radiation alters DNA and causes cancer. The Post argues that his anti-Big Pharma rhetoric conveniently aligns with his work as a trial lawyer, fueling lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies.
While the editorial acknowledges Kennedy’s advocacy for healthier lifestyles, it insists that his embrace of pseudoscience makes him completely unqualified to oversee the nation’s health policies. The piece concludes with a call for the Senate to block his nomination, warning that putting him in charge of HHS would be a dangerous mistake.
But can he answer what a woman is?
They call it pseudoscience because there’s no studies proving that what he says is true
Anything without an expensive peer reviewed study is “baseless” but tell me who would fund the studies he’s asking for?
Nobody because when it proves that what he says is true, medical companies gonna lose a lot of money
I guess they’re now really running scared he might hit the bullseye of America’s tyrannical corruption by Big Pharma drug cartels, insurance DDDs & never ending chronic illness complex. Even if/when he gets confirmed, they can always hire someone to do him like his father.
The doctor who had said that vaccines cause autism, Dr. Wakefield:
“Dr Wakefield had serious undisclosed financial conflicts: he was funded by lawyers involved in lawsuits against immunization manufacturers and was applying for a new vaccine patent.”
