YOUR HEALTH IS IN THE HANDS OF THREE QUACKS:
Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services
15 years of heroin addiction. Does not believe in vaccinations for the general population although his own family has been vaccinated. Has admitted to dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park, which solved a decade-old mystery about the discovery of a carcass in the bushes. It’s unclear if he ran it over accidentally.
Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health
President Donald Trump’s pick to lead NIH, Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of economics and health policy at Stanford, was a fierce critic of Covid vaccine mandates and other anti-pandemic measures, such as lockdowns and mask mandates. He was one of the three authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, which was developed at an October 2020 meeting of a libertarian think tank. It recommended the United States strive for Covid herd immunity through mass infection and focus on sequestering particularly vulnerable populations, such as older Americans.
Mehmet Oz, a.k.a. Dr. Oz, supposed to take care of Medicare and Medicaid
Long history of peddling pseudoscience. Trained as a heart surgeon, Oz rose to fame as a daytime TV personality. In the 2000s, he made frequent appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, where the eponymous TV host dubbed him “America’s Doctor.” He then moved on to his own show in 2009. Throughout his 13 years on air, Oz repeatedly came under fire for pushing questionable remedies, including sketchy weight-loss supplements that landed him in the hot seat with the US Senate.
