The weird sang-froid with which @NPR states this is a problem. This is as if RFK Jr. was talking about little green men on Mars. "Ancient miasma theory" isn't another viewpoint my dear NPR editors. It's the sun-revolves-around-the-earth stuff. What are you doing?
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

RFK Jr. is profoundly duplicitous. Nothing he says should be taken at face value or assumed to be true until verified as such. He has literally built his career on lying about vaccines and those in the field. Stop extending the assumption of good faith to him.
i understand the framing, which is about RFK jr lying to a senator to get senate approval
but RFK jr also lied to the american public
just completely unacceptable for a public official and senator bill cassidy is not the only one who should take action for being lied to

BREAKING: RFK Jr. fires ACIP, the panel responsible for advising on vaccines.
This breaks a promise to Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to advance Kennedy as HHS secretary on the condition that he would, among other things, keep ACIP in place.

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is.
The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

Scientific insiders hold power for a reason. Cause they know shit. The idea that there is something wrong with our best and brightest holding power is how we get idiots who run our country into the ground. Absurd
Utterly psychotic. RFK's "unfounded beliefs and suspicions" are what separate him from legitimate critics of science and public health, he fucking lies all the time!

The COVID lab leak story is a conspiracy theory.
Years of investigation has turned up nothing. All its proponents have is innuendo and bullshit.
It’s a massive failing on the part of the media that it’s been treated as anything other than a politically motivated, right-wing witch hunt.
