Is it a good idea to place an anti-vaxxer as head of health in the US?

It’s a terrible idea. I think Medicare and other government programs like free vaccines would be thrown into chaos.

What makes zero sense is that usually when people are given cabinet positions, and appointed positions, they are competent in the field of the position. For example, when someone is appointed to something regarding defense, they usually have military experience. To appoint a person like Kennedy to something where he has no experience or education makes no sense. At least put someone in who is somewhat qualified. He’s an attorney and environmental litigator.

Dan Rather just put it very succinctly: ”Having Robert F Kennedy Jr running our country’s health care is like putting Hannibal Lecter in charge of the food supply.”

It is another Trump backwards thinking !

What is best for Trump and worst for the country is the way he rolls.

I wonder how much North Korea , Russia and China are paying him ?

It’s crazy to have an anti-vaxxer and I think it should be someone with some science or medical education. I have no idea if the people in that position are usually doctors or scientists.

If it happens, hopefully he will be happy to have a title, the paycheck, and the perks, and not change much. I don’t know how much power he will actually have over the FDA and CDC and the availability of vaccine, and if he will have any power over the states and their recommendations. There are federal level recommendations and state level.

My guess is he would try to do away with children being required to get vaccines for school. I was just on a facebook thread where a parent had moved from California to Texas and wanted her kids to go to the Catholic school in Texas, but the school required certain vaccinations, so they were going to put their kid in a different school. I found it interesting that a person who was a religious Catholic was going against the church position on vaccines and not going to give their child a Catholic education.

I realize the child can still go to CCD and be confirmed and so on, but my friends who put their kids in Catholic schools and then considered taking them out for another school were extremely anxious and even cried making the decision, it was very hard for them.

It is like having a fascist in the White House . . . that doesn’t believe in the Constitution . . . just ME ME ME ME !

It’s only a good idea if your goal is to create chaos and break down the current system.
