RFK Jr. : I Dont Want To Give People Advice On Health Matters
"I don't want to give advice," Kennedy said during his first testimony before Congress since becoming the nation's top health official
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. runs the United States Department of Health and Human Services, but according to congressional testimony he gave on Wednesday, May 14, he shouldn't be viewed as a medical expert.
During a House Appropriations Committee hearing, Kennedy was pressed on his past statements about vaccines by Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, among others.
Just a few weeks after sharing false claims about the MMR vaccine — which protects against measles, mumps and rubella — RFK Jr. was asked if he would choose to have his children vaccinated today.
Kennedy, who has previously stated that he regrets vaccinating his six children, sidestepped the question, saying, “I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me.”
RFK Jr. Says 'I Don't Think People Should Be Taking Medical Advice from Me'
Kennedy doesnt want to be viewed as an expert on health, he wants to be viewed as an expert on vaccine skepticism and other regimens not necessarily approved by the nations medical scientists.
When you put someone in charge of the nations health who has no training for it , this is what you end up with.

If he doesnt feel qualified to give people advice on health matters why the hell is he there ?
Happen to agree with you on this. Trump will probably replace him if he becomes a liability.
He’s the poster poser du jour for the incompetent appointees riddling this absurd mess of an administration. Just another in a long list of pathetic pariahs.
I wouldn't ask him for medical advice. For one he's not a medical professional and 2 I highly doubt he passed his high school biology class
Hmmmm.......
I see your point. You should always take medical advice from CPAs.
Fucking hell.
RFK injected heroin into his dick for 15 years.... I can see why you think he's qualified.
You've got a streak going tonight of "totally missing all of the points". Well done.
I’m honestly fine with this. He’s an administrator, and his job doesn’t require him - so far as my layman’s brain knows - to make actual medical recommendations. This is probably not true for every cabinet secretary. Justice and Defense come to mind as cabinet positions that probably require a little more expertise.
My complaint with RFK, as with so many in Trump’s cabinet, is that he either rejects the mission of his own department, or dismisses out of hand the experience and opinions of career experts working under him.
Truer words were never spoken.
