#RFKJr attacks expertise while he personally profits enormously from the propaganda he spreads as head of HHS

Read what RFKJr clearly said about expertise. The man is a fanatic.

#MultipleSclerosis #EpsteinBarr

#ImpeachRFKJr who is destroying US healthcare with his unscientific anit-vaccine crusade.

If we could get a vaccine against Epstein-Barr virus likely we could prevent many cases of multiple sclerosis

bsky.app/profile/mark...
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

@drrobdavidson.bsky.social on RFK Jr. one year in:

"You fed those people false information to create the distrust, and now youโ€™re sweeping into power and youโ€™re going to cure the distrust by promoting the same disinformation. Itโ€™s upside-down."
RFK Jr. promised to restore trust in US health agencies. A year later, itโ€™s eroding
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reshaping U.S. health policy as HHS secretary, and doctors say his changes are eroding trust.

The people in the Covid-conscious community knew that Prasad was a crook as soon as he compared Covid mitigation measures to the Nazi regime.

He was promoted because of his minimization of Covid. Meanwhile the doctors who followed the science are unknown by the general public.
