To the people who are listening to the sound bites of Kennedy and stuff, watch the full interview for all of the information that this News channel is not providing on Kennedy.

So what is wrong if he looks at the data and data show that vaccines are unsafe? Would u prefer not to know if vaccines are safe or not? You guys are losing your mind.

[@kdub3892]

Because most media is sponsored by Pharma

[@adammele448]

look into whether it’s safe to have measles, mumps or rubella while you’re at it

[@jessewinn5563]

The way this was pieced together is completely lazy or completely dishonest. Either way, it's an example of one of the key reasons the public does not trust mainstream media.

[@szi5443]

Not lazy at all when pharma is your biggest ad contributor to legacy news by far…this is just pure propaganda, they are panicking

[@ericherbigphdmba7598]

textbook abuse of sound bites and fear mongering

Heaven forbid we have actual oversight and evidence based rather than profit based research 😱

[@robhaerr]

Nobody even knows who the current HHS Secretary is. What has current HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra done for the public? What are his qualifications? We need transparency, truth, accountability…something we have not had over the last 4 years. RFK, Jr's appointment will bring debate and sunlight to the corrupt bureaucracy.

[@grumpyoldcat8302]

What an absurdly naive belief, it’s this kind of ignorance that led to the chaos we saw in the first Trump Administration

[@kdub3892]

What chaos? No wars, border security, and low gas prices?? That chaos??

The current head is a former attorney general in California. He's no scientist either. I just want to keep it energetic and even across the board instead of being biased. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavier_Becerra#:~:text=Born%20in%20Sacramento%2C%20California%2C%20Becerra,degree%20from%20Stanford%20Law%20School.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavier_Becerra#:~:text=Born%20in%20Sacramento%2C%20California%2C%20Becerra,degree%20from%20Stanford%20Law%20School.

Now we know we the HHS SECRETARY IS KFK jr

[@Hope...M]

It's kind of bizarre that people create burner accounts. You know a lot of people do that on KZbin? They just create accounts where they can go troll and then close the account. I just thought it was kind of odd that people do this but I'm still young and confused.😊 Did you mean to say RFK Jr? You know the current person that is over health and human services has no scientific background but is an attorney just as RFK Jr is an Attorney.
