RFK Jr. confirmed by Senate as Health secretary

I stole this meme pic from somebody else's post a week or two ago. Here it will again find relevance

To be clear, the new Health Secretary:

We are looking down the barrel of a HPAI H5N1 epidemic and this is who is going to lead the nation's health systems.

The administration figuring out who is the absolute worst person for each job and confirming them ASAP as possible

Just like last time, yet here we are
It's called kakistocracy. As a German, I think it's a perfect term because it also sounds like "Kacke", which means shit.
- That's the perfect word for it. The Wikipedia article could use an update with this current example we have on our hands

Why do we even have confirmation hearings?

Jesus tap-dancing Christ on a fucking pogo stick...

Everybody expects the Spanish Speakers Flu inquisition.

Maybe you guys can pick up your daily Xbio Supplements at morning church so you can kiss the portraits and get to work faster.

Speaking as a measles stan, this is incredible news. We're back, baby!

The solution to expensive healthcare is to not have any healthcare worth paying for.

Godspeed, Murica

The one thing i hope for is that he actually follows through on ending those corn subsidies

Economic Strain on Farmers: Many Iowa farmers depend on subsidies to offset production costs. Without them, smaller farms could struggle to compete, while larger farms might consolidate further[1][6].
Shift in Farming Practices: Kennedy has proposed redirecting subsidies toward regenerative agriculture, which could push farmers to adopt new practices. However, transitioning away from commodity crops like corn may be costly and time-intensive[6].
Ripple Effects on Local Economies: Rural communities reliant on agriculture could suffer job losses as reduced farm incomes impact local businesses and cooperatives[2][6].
Higher Food Prices: Reduced corn production could elevate prices for products dependent on corn, such as livestock feed and processed foods[2].

Should be called "disease secretary" everywhere.

Well... at least we won't have to worry about any isolation during the bird flu pandemic?

Except the isolation from the rest of the world.

Travel and scientific as the US embargoes research for its own vaccine product to whore.

Really makes you wonder about the bullet we dodged with gaetz dropping out. These idiots probably would have confirmed him too.

Raw milk will become mandatory.

Jenny McCarthy for Deputy Health Secretary /s

Well, at least the average IQ of the Trump cabinet just increased slightly.
