RFK is a certifiable maniac who is opposed to vaccination and is an active proponent of conspiracy theories.
In 2023 he claimed that Jews and Chinese people are less susceptible to the virus which is the cause of the global pandemic, and that this may be the result of deliberate genetic engineering.
However, he cannot be dismissed as a fringe lunatic. He is giving expression to powerful trends within the US ruling elite, which is deliberately whipping up fascistic sentiments that have a long history in America—antisemitism, racism, anti-Chinese bigotry.
Kennedy, who has no medical degree, has used his immense wealth, fame and connections to spread the pernicious lie that vaccines cause virtually all developmental disorders and diseases.
He intervened in Samoa with his anti vaccine demagogy to agitate against vaccination for measles. He contributed significantly to the entirely preventable deaths of 83 Samoan children from measles.
This is what Dr. Alec Ekeroma, director general of Samoa’s Health Ministry, told the Washington Post :Kennedy “will be directly responsible for killing thousands of children around the world by allowing preventable infectious diseases to run rampant.”
His intention and his assigned role in the Trump administration is to repudiate all public health measures that are any barrier to profit.
Trump's appointment of Bhattacharya to the head of the National Institute of Health complements the appointment of RKF. Bhattacharya was one of the leading advocats of "herd immunity" policy (articulated in the Great Barrington Declaration) which declared that COVID should be allowed to run rampant without any public health restrictions.
These appointments, of anti-science quacks and sociopaths signal that the intention of the trump administration is to totally eviscerate public health in the US and its connection to scientific knowledge.
