RFK Jr does not take covid seriously in any way, he would instantly believe anybody who says the covid vaccine is worse than covid. He doesn't even believe HIV causes AIDS. I wouldn't trust him not to believe the idiots who say masks cause oxygen deprivation.
He would be the worst public health Czar of all time if he got a HHS position.
You’re right. I was only half listening and heard him talking about inaction regarding a national health epidemic. I haven’t paid much attention to this election cycle since I moved out of the country so I’m a bit uninformed about this guy outside of the memes, thanks for the context.
For all the problems with Trump's covid response, at least he didn't block project warp speed (accelerated development/approval of vaccines). RFK Jr or his appointees would have definitely slow-rolled that while the rest of the world stocked up on the vaccines.
I was interested to hear him even mention BRICS since I thought only leftists and right wing financial weirdos care about BRICS. I would be surprised to hear it mentioned from either Kamala or Trump, although I can’t say for sure whether they ever have.
He said something characteristically confusing, along the lines of:
“I’m not dropping out, I’m suspending my campaign. People in blue states can still vote for me, I will be on the ballot in blue states if you want to cast a vote for neither Trump nor Kamala. Oh and the same applies to red states.”
I was going to come up with a better speech but I was planting a dead deer in front of an elementary school last night and doing just.... so much blow.
