    Let's take a look at the typical wack job Kennedy is hiring.

    RFK Jr. hires loon who pushed heinous treatment for kids with autism

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...pushed-heinous-treatment-for-kids-with-autism

    The Department of Health and Human Services has hired anti-vaccine activist David Geier to analyze government data in search of thoroughly debunked links between immunizations and childhood autism.

    Geier, who holds a bachelor’s degree in biology, has spent decades pushing discredited theories linking vaccines to autism. Geier and his father have long been known for peddling bad science, with the scientific journal Nature even naming them among the world’s top science deniers in 2010.

    More than a decade ago, Geier was charged with practicing medicine without a license, while his father’s medical license was suspended for treating autistic children with the reckless “Lupron protocol,” which involves a drug used to treat prostate cancer and in chemical castration of sex offenders.

    Geier’s new role within HHS signals another win for the anti-vaccine movement—and a loss for public health.

    This is a worst-case scenario for public health. It’s a slap in the face to the decades of actual credible research we have,” Jessica Steier, a public health researcher who leads the Science Literacy Lab, told the Washington Post.

    Despite having his access to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revoked in 2004, Geier will now be given multiple sets of CDC data on vaccine safety.

    During HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Senate confirmation hearings, Democratic lawmakers highlighted his inadequacy to lead the country’s public health agencies.

    Now, his mismanagement of the ongoing measles outbreak, unconscionable reductions to the federal health services workforce, and hiring of Geier prove that he is a danger to public health.

    Parents of unvaccinated child who died from measles in Texas advocate against vaccine
    The young couple are members of the Mennonite community and spoke partly in English and partly in German throughout the interview that was posted to an anti-vaccine organization’s website.

    The parents of a 6-year-old unvaccinated child who died from measles in Texas said they still would not recommend that others get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine despite their loss.

    The Children’s Health Defense recently posted an interview with the parents. It’s an organization known for spreading anti-vaccine misinformation and was once led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who now serves as the Health and Human Services secretary.

    The young couple are members of the Mennonite community and spoke partly in English and partly in German throughout the interview posted to the organization’s website.

    “They think it’s not as bad as the media is making it out to be,” a translator stated on the couple's behalf. “They think she was too good for this Earth.”

    The parents of a 6-year-old unvaccinated child who died from measles in Texas said they still would not recommend that others get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine despite their loss.

    The Children’s Health Defense recently posted an interview with the parents. It’s an organization known for spreading anti-vaccine misinformation and was once led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who now serves as the Health and Human Services secretary.

    The young couple are members of the Mennonite community and spoke partly in English and partly in German throughout the interview posted to the organization’s website.

    “They think it’s not as bad as the media is making it out to be,” a translator stated on the couple's behalf. “They think she was too good for this Earth.”

    The mother said a nurse told her breathing treatments wouldn’t help her daughter, but they eventually put the child on a ventilator. The hospital got the parents a hotel room, likely because the hospital room was too small, the mother said.

    The last thing the mother said she remembers speaking with her daughter about was how she was thirsty and she wanted to give her daughter water.

    It's unclear how many days the young girl was in intensive care before she died. The parents said they sought other treatment for their remaining children when they became sick with the virus.

    The mother said she became sick with measles herself on the day of her daughter's funeral, but she's unsure if she was vaccinated as a child.
    The father went on to express that he believes measles are “good for the body,” later clarifying via the translator that he thinks it’s good for the immune system.

    “There’s doctors that can help with measles,” the mother said through the translator. She also said the measles "weren't that bad."

    The couple said their other four children — aged two to seven — had a "quick recovery" from the disease, but their daughter who died was the first to contract it.

    The mother said their daughter’s fever kept getting higher and her breathing wasn’t normal, so they decided to go to the emergency room. While at the hospital, doctors reportedly told the parents their child had pneumonia in her left lung.

    At this point we can only speculate that the Trump regime is deliberately trying to kill Americans with disease. The purpose probably is to provide a reason to institute an authoritarian dictatorship and suspend elections. Trump missed his earlier opportunity after importing Covid.

    The CDC buried a measles forecast that stressed the need for vaccinations

    From the UK's Independent:
    "Just hours later, Kennedy commended the practice of “extraordinary healers” Dr. Ben Edwards and Richard Bartlett, “who have treated and healed some 300 measles-stricken Mennonite children using aerosolized budesonide and clarithromycin.” Edwards and Bartlett have reportedly both promoted medicine other than vaccines to treat disease."

    He’s going to need a better kill count if he wants to stay relevant. Maybe subcontract it to the Israelis, they’ve got decades of experience managing childhood mortality targets while playing eternal victim on global stages.

    Frankly, I expected more efficiency from a man raised on Camelot myths. This is amateur hour for a messianic narcissist.

    Kennedy draws from misinformation playbook by touting an inhaled steroid to treat measles

    Trump’s health secretary said budesonide was helping to “heal” measles patients. It’s reminiscent of the days when fringe doctors said ivermectin could cure Covid.
