Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaxxing nut bag adulterer who kept roadkill in his freezer, is Donald’s choice to lead the nation’s health agencies. When thousands of Americans were dying, and others sheltered at home at the height of the pandemic in 2021, RFK Jr. filed a petition with the F.D.A. demanding that officials rescind authorization for the shots and refrain from approving any Covid vaccine in the future.
Americans were getting the jab at that time, and the country was opening back up. However, for some reason, Kennedy wanted to block Covid vaccines even though they were effective.
The New York Times reports:
Just six months earlier, Mr. Trump had declared the Covid vaccines a miracle. At the time Mr. Kennedy filed the petition, half of American adults were receiving their shots. Schools were reopening and churches were filling.
Estimates had begun to show that the rapid rollout of Covid vaccines had already saved about 140,000 lives in the United States.
