Summary
Over 15,000 doctors, through the Committee to Protect Health Care, urged the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of health and human services, citing his anti-vaccine advocacy, promotion of conspiracy theories, and lack of qualifications.
Critics, including Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, warn his leadership would endanger public health. Supporters claim opposition is driven by pharmaceutical interests.
Kennedy’s confirmation would require near-unanimous Republican support in the Senate.
Advocacy groups are campaigning against his appointment, emphasizing his alleged role in spreading misinformation during past public health crises.
It’s funny that doctors believe republicans care about their opinion. See Dr. Anthony Fauci for reference.
That’s almost an endorsement to Senate Republicans.
I cannot believe there is even consideration about giving him preemptive pardon.
Like, it’s not even clear what possible crime he committed, but since they might go after him we should issue a pardon just in case.
Many of them have been whipped up into a murderous frenzy over Fauci. Now, that’s the dumbasses yokels in the deplorable base. How many of the elites in the qon power structure want to go after him, who knows. I"m sure donvict had his feelings hurt about something related to Fauci because Fauci is part of the reality-based community, so maybe he might let it happen.
Many of them seriously would love to see him literally hanged alongside Biden, Kamala, Pence, Obama, Hillary…the dumbasses are all convinced he did something wrong to donvict, themselves, the country. You know, because, repeat after me, like all good parrots do: “gain of function! gain of function!”
You know what, you have to respect them for trying. The alternative is staying silent and accepting this without any show of resistance at all.
Sometimes it’s hard to know which battles to pick.
Resisting this appointment kinda forces Trump to double down, because it was an election promise. It also diminishes drs credibility in future matters. “Drs moan about everything”.
