Kennedy’s lawyer petitioned the FDA to withdraw approval of the polio vaccine

[jon-nyc]

Does it bother you that the HHS secretary nominee would like to?

[Horace]

I don’t think he would like to. And I’m sure that will be established in his confirmation hearings. I expect him to sound reasonable, though I may be disappointed.

[jon-nyc]

I expect him to sound reasonable testifying to congress too. He has a long history of sounding reasonable to normies and letting his crazy show only to audiences of crazies.

He has said the measles vaccine is ‘a holocaust’. You don’t think he wants to stop holocausts?

If Congress do their job, he should get challenged on the crazy shit, right?

[jon-nyc]

Yeah, though he regularly denies saying things he’s on tape saying. It should be fun to watch.

I am sure you have consumed more anecdotes about him than I have. I am not in a position to defend and contextual all of it. I willl listen to the hearings where opposition senators will ask all the right questions about what he has said before.

Is it better or worse than the abortion holocaust? Which one takes precedence to support and/or eradicate, depending on whether you're evil or not?

Even the Nazis couldn't effectively manage two simultaneous and independent holocausts, and some of those chaps were really quite unpleasant.

@Horace

What’s your theory of mind here regarding RFK Jr? He spent decades running antivax groups. Yet you think he doesn’t want to ban them?

Like he was just in it for the crunchy chicks?

I am equally concerned with the theory of mind of anybody who wants to interrogate Trump supporters about whatever anecdotes of some cabinet picks are making the rounds as effective rhetorical dunks. But I will await the confirmation hearings before I engage with those discussions. I am confident that your side of the discussion will be well represented.

[jon-nyc]

That’s one way to avoid the question. But avoidance it is.

That’s needlessly insulting, as I have already told you I haven’t studied up on his history. Do I trust your twitter feed to provide an accurate survey of RFK’s opinions? Of course not. But I am looking forward to the hearings, and I am sure the greatest dunks on RFK will be well represented. There’s a chance your twitter feed will have some reasonable points to be made.
