Once sexually abused as children, they speak out telling us all we need to know. Call your Congress people. These abused speakers have the names. Trump is clearly a complicit abuser. There is more to expose with this administration. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/vegas-joint-ops-child-sex-decoy-stings?r=3m1bs

Why, all of a sudden, are we referring to RFK Jr. as “Bob”? Stop it!!

Oh I started calling him Bob a year and a half ago or so, I didn't think he deserved the RFK sort of respect. What are your thoughts on it Bill?

Mr Bobby Kennedy needs to go now! He’s ill-suited and unfit for his position. He pretty much said himself! No one should ask him for a medical opinion, or something in that vain. So why in the hell does he have his job?! He’s a quack and even he knows it.

I'd rather he had no association with his father. He is not cut from the same cloth as Robert Kennedy. Not by a long shot. I wonder what happened to his brain. Maybe years of using heroin?

Greed. He made a lot of money lying about vaccines. At least that's part of it. Heroin damage is logical too.

I support putting RFK Jr. in charge of Trump’s health and a medical professional in charge of everyone’s else’s. That way Trump gets exclusive care and the rest of us are stuck with evidence based science.

Simple. RFK jr is deeply disturbed, a charlatan and blatant liar. He is grossly unfit to serve as Secretary of HHS and grossly unfit to offer any sort of health advice to anyone.

Kind of like everyone agent orange has appointed! Since he only does things that enrich him and his family, big Pharma must be paying a pretty penny to have Kennedy in there!

Since he doesn't believe in vaccines and doesn't believe in germs I don't think he is promoting big Pharma

Those vaccines work and not expensive to make now, but that leaves room to make more expensive drugs.

Expand full comment
Jeri's avatar

He made tons of money being a lawyer that fights vaccines. I think he sued the pharmaceutical companies that made them.

He's part of the Google AI explanation

As an anti-vaccine advocate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made money from a six-figure salary as head of the nonprofit Children's Health Defense (CHD) and from earning millions in referral and legal fees from law firms involved in vaccine-related lawsuits.

You are correct. I was replying to someone who asked if he was being paid by Big Pharma. I don't see the post now, maybe it was deleted.

Everyone who lives in a state with at least one GOP Senator needs to be calling them to demand that they support RFK Jr's ouster. These senators voted to put him in that position.

Everytime I call my Senators about anything HHS related I remind them that they are responsible for this mess that we are in and that they have blood on their hands - now and when RFK Jr's actions lead to further unnecessary deaths and the spread of infectious diseases.

It’s insane for Florida to stop mandating vaccines. What will they do when kids start dying? Oh yeah, blame Biden.

Expand full comment
Kathy's avatar

Our Surgeon General Ladapo equates vaccine mandates to “slavery”. Although our State Board of Education equates slavery with beneficial skills that could be applied for personal benefit. So with that rationale, eliminating school vaccine mandates could equate to less personal benefit, including illness or death!

If you’re in Florida,please call your 📲📲📲 legislators!

Best times to call:

Tuesday-Thursday (avoid Mondays and Fridays). 10am-noon or 2pm-4pm local time. Avoid lunch hour (12-1pm). Morning crisis effect: 50 calls between 9-10am forces emergency meeting by 11am.⬅️

Expand full comment
Kathy's avatar

Also➡️ Triple your impact: After calling, immediately:

Email the same message (shows you're tracking). Post on social media that you called (triggers others). Call back in 3 days if no response (shows persistence).

The multiplier effect is real:

1 person posting they called = 5-10 others call. 10 people posting = 100+ calls. 100 people posting = thousands of calls.

I had a rare lapse and watched a few minutes of “news,” just in time to hear Ladapo say, (paraphrased) “Who am I to tell you that you should be vaccinated?” At the top of my lungs I shouted at the TV, “You’re the Surgeon General. It’s your fucking job, you moron!” At which point my air pods cut out and my family had momentary heart failure. Dammit!

Penni Livingston's avatar

It’s possible that worm did damage. I met Robert Kennedy jr twice when he was fighting the good fight for the environment and I did not think of him as I now do. He represented Waterkeepers and brought about some good outcomes and case law. Now we know of molesting female family members - wholly acceptable by those who wish to impose obstacles to women’s right to vote as amended in our constitution. Here in the comments I read he was addicted to heroin. That is new Information to me. I wish for a campaign to appoint Dr.Sanjay Gupta from CNN as secretary of health.

Unfortunately no Republicans paid attention to Caroline Kennedy's speech early on about her cousin's unfitness. President Kennedy's daughter, an ambassador in her own right, and anything but high profile, spoke up for Americans and was totally ignored.
