Kennedy confirmed by Senate as U.S. Health Secretary

Seeing Cheryl in the picture, I wish this was an episode of Curb, but unfortunately it isn't. This is going to have grave consequences in the next few years. Here's what we can expect, but on a national level:

https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/editorials/2025/02/13/west-texas-measles-outbreak-spreads-among-unvaccinated-residents/

Democrats accused Kennedy over two days of contentious confirmation hearings of being financially vested in the anti-vaccine movement and peddling conspiracy theories to sow doubt about lifesaving medicines, assertions he rejected.

Yeah, he was paid for his work. Aren't we all?

But why doesn't the article also mention that during the hearings RFK brought up the massive amount of money pharma has given to those who attacked him.

Great news!!

The worst news. It just keeps getting more and more insane.

More elites. RFK, a member of a political elite described as ‘America’s royalty’.

Trump loves those elites.

American are doomed,if you depend on these nutjobs,a nurse knows more about medicine than Kennedy,maybe the worm will give him advice

This wacky bonehead just kind of fills out and already screwy cabinet of mediocrities.

Just what Trump wants. A group of people who know less than he does.

But why doesn't the article also mention that during the hearings RFK brought up the massive amount of money pharma has given to those who attacked him.

Maybe because, when he was talking about Bernie or Warren, for example, he was lying?

The worst news. It just keeps getting more and more insane.

Not for the U.S. overall, hold the line.

Just what Trump wants. A group of people who know less than he does.

When it comes to the food we eat, RFK should be unleashed and do whatever he can to get all the poison out of it, I do care about that as do millions of Americans, that’s the biggest priority and problem.

Bravo!! There is one more to go with Cash, he will most definitely be confirmed. The Dems cannot stop the constant winning.

This is an important victory for public decency and everyone's health. How his father would be proud.

Important to remember he fell out with the warmongering democrats too and look what they did to him.

Jr was treated despicably by the same mob.

A big win!

So the guy that will be leading our next bird flu pandemic response is a anti-vax idiot who confesses to having a worm in his brain...who was also labeled by his boss as the "world's biggest liberal lunatic"....

Our MAGA-friends here better have good health and life insurance...

I hope at his swearing in ceremony a reporter asks him if he shares Trump's view that the COVID vaccine is a "medical miracle" and "safe"....

Great news, RFK's been attacked by a massive Govt. backed and sponsored smear campaign for years, all for questioning the efficacy of Covid vaccines.

Most don't realize, he won a SCOTUS case, that determined the Biden Admin was actively suppressing his free speech within social media.

RFK delivered 1600 to DJT, truly need educated people like RFK who cannot be bought to question the Big Pharma and Big Ag industrial complexes and improve US health, especially processed foods and Ag chemicals.

Watch for polio to come back. It’s already raised its head again in low-vax communities in this ‘advanced developed country’

Senate committee voted to send the Patel nomination to the floor not long before this vote of RFK jr. Should be coming up today/tonight.

 truly need educated people like RFK who cannot be bought to question the Big Pharma 

The idea that vaccines -who eradicate diseases- would be more profitable for "big pharma" than actually letting diseases run rampant and simply sell medication for those diseases, is simply stupid.

Furthermore, Trump already reversed several Biden policies aimed at reducing drug prices. So who's working for big pharma, exactly?

And yet *another** *victory for Trump.

Secretary RFK Jr.

Americans voted for Make America Healthy Again, RFK is their man who's committed for decades to issue of the rapid growth in US chronic disease, especially in children.

During my morning perusal of social media, one thing that keeps popping up is a prediction that many countries are now going to demand that tourists from the USA provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases, because the US can no longer be trusted to take effective, preventative measures against public health outbreaks.

I can just see it: more loud, ignorant Americans roaring at immigration staff about their rights and making the US look even worse on the international stage...

Great news.

A healthy and sane person in charge at last.

Note how nobody who approves of this appointment can provide a single reason why, outside of "Trump picked him" and "it makes libs unhappy".

They can't offer a single reason why Kennedy should be in this position in terms of his qualifications, knowledge, or experience. And they don't want to.

They literally wouldn't care if the next serious pandemic breaks out in the coming months. People close to them could get sick, or even worse, and they wouldn't care because "another Trump win, so much winning!"

I can't think of anything more anti-American than that.

RFK is a nutbag. And his boss is a felon. This is what happens when you make an ignorant person the leader.

Great news, RFK's been attacked by a massive Govt. backed and sponsored smear campaign for years, all for questioning the efficacy of Covid vaccines.

Uh-huh....

RFK Jr says the COVID vaccine is poison and can kill and maim you...

Trump says it is a "medical miracle" that is "safe and it works", and "frankly all of my supporters should take it"...

So, who is telling the truth and who is lying? Who is putting lives at risk and who is saving lives?

Making polio great again in the US. More popcorn please.

As of 2025, all 50 states in the U.S. require immunizations for children to enroll in public school. However, the specific vaccines required vary by state.

Yet another win!

getting quite common, isn’t it?

Blacklabel,you are in favor of malpractice

Nothing speaks to the outright stupidity, hypocrisy, and incompetence of Trump 2.0 better than this...

Trump's pick for his HHS Secretary is a guy only six moths ago he was calling; “fake,” a “Democrat ‘Plant’” and “Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place” to help the Democratic president.:

And there's more: "Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, and always will be!!!

And the best: "Don't waste any Republican or Conservative votes on Junior.' He's one of the most Liberal Lunatics ever to run for office," 

Well, thanks to Trump, it looks like the Dems got their "plant" who is also a "lunatic" inside his administration - a plant who is a "radical left Democrat - AND ALWAYS WILL BE!"...

Well done Donald....ROFL...

The hypocrisy runs deep with Trump. He complains about DEI hires, yet he himself hires people or place them in positions when there are way more experienced and qualified people. As long as either their name is Trump (e.g. Lara Trump), constantly praises him in public (e.g. Hegseth), or just someone he likes (e.g. Kennedy), then he will hire or appoint them.

That Kennedy doesn't even deserve the name!

It's not MAHA = make America healthy again, it's MAUA = make America unhealthy again (even more).

Just some FACTS:

autism comes from vaccines (Kennedy)

fluoride is associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease (Kennedy)

exposure to chemicals — endocrine disruptors, namely — is causing gender dysphoria in children and contributing to a rise in LGBTQ+ youth (Kennedy)

Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese (Kennedy)

has repeatedly questioned the safety of the Covid-19 vaccine (Kennedy)

And even more. All this from a man who used drugs for 14 years, whose brain was worm infected. It can't come any better!!

Yet another win!

Well, if by "win" you mean selecting the "world's biggest leftist lunatic" and a "Dem Plant" as his new HHS Secretary, yea, I guess that's a win...for the "Libs"....ROFL..

getting quite common, isn’t it?

The self-owns? Indeed...

RFK is not antivax, he only wants to make sure that their safety and effectiveness are demonstrated with actual legitimate data, rather than corporate influence.

All those corrupt deep state bureaucrats who've enabled Big Pharma and Big Ag for decades are getting nervous about right now about being 'audited' and time in the Big House!

RFK is NOT for Sale!

Great job guys. A win for measles, polio, and God knows what else. Do they sell iron lungs on Amazon?

Can Trump be trusted?

After all, he is a convicted felon, isn’t he?

A person with an extremely damaged brain. I wonder, why Donald followers like him so very very much?

And historically speaking, shouldn't a horse receive a position in government, too?

Awesome! Great job and congratulations to RFK Jr. Make America Healthy Again!

RFK Jr says the COVID vaccine is poison and can kill and maim you...

Trump says it is a "medical miracle" that is "safe and it works", and "frankly all of my supporters should take it"...

So, who is telling the truth and who is lying? Who is putting lives at risk and who is saving lives?

MAGA-silence....

With an antivaxxer lunatic conspiracy theorist in country's health charge, this country will go backwards at least 100 years..

"MAHA"..

What a joke, LOL..

Seriously..

US is turning in the joke of western world..

Seriously.. 

US is turning in the joke of western world..

Nah, in fact the US is respected and feared now, as various countries realize their salad days of ripping off the US are over.

The Golden Age of America is here.

Give it a rest. Trump is a felon. That's a fact. If that hurts your feelings it's what happen when you worship someone who thinks he's above the law.

Yes, you’re right and it’s also a fact that he’s President and the left just have to deal with it. All the name calling in the world won’t change that fact.

Seriously.. 

US is turning in the joke of western world..

Not according to most Americans. We elected an American President, not a globalist President.

The Embarrassment of Wretches is nearly complete. What a clown show of a cabinet. Suits Donny Two Scoops to a tee.

RFK made history, corrupt D's kept him from running a primary campaign against elderly mentally challenged Biden, forcing him to pursue an independent candidacy.

Lifelong D RFK aligns with Trump on issues such as Ukraine proxy war, open borders and chronic disease, thus helped 'swing' election to Trump with his millions of supporters. RFK made history, as HHS head he'll make more!

Liberals guaranteed us they were going to block him.

yet here he is, confirmed.

another win. Can’t stop wont stop.

Yeah, he was paid for his work. Aren't we all?

He claimed he was not, and it is a pretty good sum so the accusation that he profited from antivaxxer propaganda holds.

But why doesn't the article also mention that during the hearings RFK brought up the massive amount of money pharma has given to those who attacked him.

What massive amount are you talking about? there are a lot of people that clearly attacked the crook with plenty of evidence and valid arguments (that you tried to simply ignore as if that made them disappear), including people that have not recieved any money from a pharmaceutical company. Baseless accusation.

Great news, RFK's been attacked by a massive Govt. backed and sponsored smear campaign for years, all for questioning the efficacy of Covid vaccines.

He is critcized internationally which is impossible if your accusation was true (it is not) and no, his fraudulent activities span decades, a lot of time before covid even began, he was already an antivaxxer and repeatedly lied about it.

RFK is not antivax

Yes he is, he supports the safety and efficacy of exactly zero vaccines ever.

Nah, in fact the US is respected and feared now, as various countries realize their salad days of ripping off the US are over.

Not at all, the scientific community of the world have clearly expressed how sad is that the US abandoned science and medicine for pure political and economic profit. It is not common to have literally scores of Nobel Prize winners say the choice is ridiculous.

Not according to most Americans.

If the world ridicule the decisions of the US government, whatever the citizens of the country say would not change it.

RFK made history,

Like a Typhoid Mary on steroids, he has already contributed to the death of scores of children thanks to his antivaxx propaganda actions, the US is now going to find out what it means to have this kind of antiscientific movement dictate their public health services.

Lifelong D RFK aligns with Trump on issues such as Ukraine proxy war, open borders and chronic disease

Mostly in the way public health will become the domain of private companies that are already seeing their profits rise like foam. No more public research to have cheaper health care interventions, all will come from companies (that are the only ones that can still develop things), specially from other countries. And no more price caps for deeply necessary drugs. People believed they had it bad with insurance and health related costs until now, but the future seems much worse, specially with the outbreaks that are already happening, Tuberculosis, Measles, Influenza (seasonal and avian)...

Liberals guaranteed us they were going to block him.

yet here he is, confirmed.

another win. Can’t stop wont stop.

It's nice to see our MAGA-friends cheering and gloating about the new HHS Secretary....

Who is a "fake", a "Liberal lunatic" and a "Dem Plant"...at least according to Trump...

When Trump picks Adam Schiff for a cabinet position tomorrow they'll be even more over-joyed...

ROFL...

If you are happy with that, and voted Trump, why don't you leave safe, clean, modern, convenient and peaceful first world Japan and go back to your happy fascist La-la-Land??.. 

LOL

Just asking..

Owning homes in both countries I do both actually, just telling, so best of both worlds.

Not according to most Americans. We elected an American President, not a globalist President.

But according to the rest of the world YES!!..

Globalism will win..

Is in the Bible..

Get used to it..

In case you hadn't noticed, the US is getting a lot of attention from all the world leaders. Take Japan for example. Trump has his own way of leading the world. It's not by bribery, as with previous US presidents. Even as he cuts off the cash spigot, world leaders continue to ask for meetings with him.
