CNN’s Jake Tapper didn’t hold back after Trump selected vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next Secretary of Health,’ saying on air, “Well, America, I hope you like measles.”

Many in the medical community have also raised the alarm, saying that ” installing Kennedy  “breaks the first rule of medicine” to “do no harm.” Some experts even warned that RFK Jr. presents a ‘clear and present danger’ after Trump’s nomination.

Experts warn making the anti-vaccine activist health secretary ‘is going to cost lives’.

He is known for his criticism of childhood vaccines, claiming in an interview last year: “I do believe that autism comes from vaccines.”

 

Here are just a few of the  many controversies swirling around JFK Jr, Kennedy Jr.:

1)  JFK Jr said  5G cellular networks allow governments to collect user data and “control” their behavior. He also told Joe Rogan in an interview that WiFi “radiation” causes cancer, “cellphone tumors” and “opens your blood-brain barrier” to toxins.

2) He has made claims that “fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease.” Limited fluoride in water is known to reduce dental decay.

3) He Says Mass Shootings Are Linked To Prescription Drugs.

4) He’s an anti-vaxxer, claiming that both Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates exaggerated the dangers of COVID-19 to ‘promote vaccines.’ (Neither one stood to profit by sales of the vaccine.)

5) Kennedy wants us to drink raw milk. Last month, he accused the FDA of ‘aggressive suppression’ of raw milk. Pasteurization of milk was adopted decades ago as a basic public health measure to kill dangerous bacteria. People who consume raw milk products are  838.8 times more likely to experience an illness.
