“I don’t think people should be taking financial advice from me, either. Or parental advice for that matter. Or party planning advice. Or interior decoration. Matter of fact, why is anybody listening to me at all?!?”
Oh? So your spot as the nation’s top doctor is what? Just for show? Got it.
Donald’s whole administration is. Makes sense.
Holy shit… This timeline is too dumb to ever be learned about in history books.
History loves repeating itself.
Then he shouldn’t be HHS secretary.
I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me
Says the guy in charge of the department responsible for medical advice.
This is one of the incredibly rare instances where I agree with something RFK Jr. says, I agree nobody should be taking medical advice from him. Now if he could fucking resign and you know stop giving medical advice that would be great.
The Alex Jones defense. “Oh you guys thought I was serious? Lulz seems like that’s kind of on you.”
No one should take medical advice from him.
One should be able to get good medical advice from anyone in his position.
What’s wrong with this picture?
One of the requirements for administering any department is being able to tell when it’s doing its job, and for his position that means being able to tell good policies from bad ones.
To be fair, I think it holds true for any head of department of health (or whatever they’re called) - that’s a position that calls for organizational skills and not a medical doctorate. In the same way my project manager doesn’t answer questions about clustered datastorage, that’s what he has people like me for.
However, leading JFKJrs department also calls for common sense and skepticism towards conspiracy theories, two qualities he severely lacks. But at least he’s right in that particular statement.But…isn’t the point that you need to know at least both? There should be thousands of people in the venn diagram between doctors and managers enough people to become health secretary: senior doctors, senior healthcare managers. Certainly not this dipshit.
That’s like saying he shouldn’t be expected to give advice on Seroconversion kinetics*. You’re right, but it’s also not really the point.
He, like your manager, is responsible for taking the knowledge of the “engineers” and turning that into practical advice and/or legislation for the public.
Which he is not doing… Which has resulted in a body count… Which should at the very least cost him his job…
But if anyone thinks that’s going to happen, they’ve not been paying attention.
*(I don’t know what that is btw, that comes from wikipedia. It’s some technical thing to do with vaccines)
Yes, that’s pretty much the 2nd half of my comment.
Also, my understanding is that seroconversion kinetics is about how fast your body starts making antibodies, how strong the resp9nse is and how it changes over time.
Lol, that was maybe a bad example then. I was just looking for a technical term that the general public wouldn’t need to care about, but that all sounds like reasonably important information
You give me too much credit. I got curious and started googling, lol.
Lol says the guy in charge of the health department, this is literally satire at this point

We accept your resignation.
“Who do they think I am, the Secretary of Health?”
Well it’s literally your job to know about health matters…a job you are wholly unqualified for and should quit!
This is the most American thing I’ve heard all day (the rfk quote)
You are right, we should be getting it from an expert. So how did you get this job asshole? Oh right, you hopped on that Sunny D.
So he’s resigning from his position, right?
I agree.
Can we ask the worm? Is the worm in charge of the DHHS?
Is there any way to get rid of the guy based on this statement? I mean, a brick could do his job better by staying out of anything that already works.
Somebody write that down on list of good ideas to rebuild society after the collapse jic any humans survive:
- Hold public officials to the same standards anyone else bad at their job would be held to. Make accountable for own words and actions?
Giuliani suggested trial by combat, seems more reasonable today than it did then.
The end is nigh when Giuliani retrospectively seems a wise oracle by comparison.
Yeah, use a brick.
Add to list of good ideas
