Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to overhaul parts of the FDA, specifically targeting the agency’s nutrition department, which he claims “are not doing their jobs” and failing to protect public health.
Kennedy, a known opponent of vaccinations and the pharmaceutical industry, said he could “clear out” corruption in health agencies. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he would give Kennedy significant influence over health policy, though Trump’s campaign denied he would lead HHS.
Experts and family members warn that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance could have serious public health repercussions.
This is honestly a complete disaster Genuinely can’t believe its actually happening tbh. 2016, but ten times worse.
I think the first term was actually traumatic and we’ve spent four years trying to put it behind us, now he’s back and prepared, with the whole government at his command for at least 2 years. The long term damage is going to be atrocious in every sense of the word.
I’m fucking heartbroken
Oh same here tbh. We honestly have learned nothing at all from the last time Trump was in power and yet, I’m far more disappointed that my generation (whose supposed to be at the forefront of change) did absolutely nothing to stop this from happening. I’m honestly so angry and disappointed at the same time.
At least back in 2016 I could forgive people for just being plain ignorant and not understanding the consequences of their votes, but this time around I really think people are just hateful racist bastards.
