Oh great, anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. officially in charge of health care now
The Senate voted almost entirely along party lines on Thursday to confirm anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Democrats excoriated Kennedy during his recent Senate confirmation hearings, pointing out his long and terrible history of promoting junk science, especially around vaccines.
Beyond his debunked anti-vaccine misinformation, the raw-milk-drinking rich guy has a penchant for acting in bizarre and seemingly unhinged ways, such as when he reportedly chainsawed the head off a dead whale and strapped it to the top of his minivan.
As health secretary, Kennedy has promised to investigate vaccine safety, despite their already rigorous testing. He also wants to get rid of public water fluoridation, which is considered a public health victory in protecting young children from tooth decay and worse health outcomes.
