    Why is RFK Jr a reliable source for any of this? He’s hardly a reliable medical source. Dude promotes vaccine lies. He’s a lawyer by trade. He has no special medical knowledge or training. Why is he in charge of any of this in the first place?

      The same reason as most of the other cabinet positions, I’d imagine. Secret personal loyalty based ones.

        Or ye olde “useful idiot”. Honestly more rhetorical to draw attention to the absurdity of relying on RFK Jr for health advice.

      Why is he in charge of any of this in the first place?

      Because he was soaking up votes as a 3rd party candidate. 10% of Americans wanted him for president.
