This sounds like a stupid question, but I’m being genuine.
He is telling people to eat more meat, which sounds absolutely insane to me.
What qualifies him to give health advice ? Why are americans trusting him ?
This is honestly a disgusting take because it shows how biased you are against addicts. Not a stupid question. Just a nasty one. Your 2nd and 3rd are good questions though. I don’t think there’s jack shit qualifying him to give health advice in reality. He’s a crackpot supplement pusher. Which I feel kinda answers your 3rd; americans have a long history of being stupid and blindly trusting whatever the pill-pusher says, because they hear what they want to hear. Unfortunately.
I hate RFK and all the damage he’s done/is doing to our country’s general state of health. His history of addiction is literally last on the list of reasons not to trust him. In my view, a history of addiction (now being in recovery) usually gives you a pretty sane view of health, since it brings you so close to death. The overwhelming majority of recovering addicts that I know lead healthier lifestyles than non-addicts. Oftentimes when people see with clarity how much damage they’ve done to themselves, they desperately want to treat their body better.
This was exactly my first thought. He should be disqualified for many reasons, but that ain’t one of them. Thinking that way is why we have him.
Uneducated populace stuck in propaganda channels.
An avid user of drugs sounds like someone who would be knowledgeable about them, so clearly a smart choice
Just because junior is saying stuff doesn’t mean Americans are listening or obeying.
Why would Americans elect a serial bankruptcy business man, narcissst, and convicted sexual assault felon to appoint this loon?
Because there are no simple answers.
47 wants to disrupt and cause chaos in everything. The department of health is just another area for chaos, hence the appointment of this guy. I think it’s fairly safe that most Americans - and that includes many nominal supporters of the current GOP cultish clowncar - do not take their health advise from worm brain. It’s just unfortunate that he’s in a position of power where he will cause harm that will prevail long after he’s retired, or dead.
3 post, no comments. Less than a day old. You a bot?
But I’m American and I’m not taking his advice. He’s a moron.
Why are americans taking health advice from a man who got brain worms from eating roadkill and didnt learn his lesson?
Thats the more appropriate question.
Being a heroin addict does not make you a bad person anymore than having diabetes. Fuck off with that moralistic shit.
The guy is a scourge of humanity because of the choices he made and beliefs he holds. Don’t make it look like heroin is the cause.
No on said heroin makes you a bad person, it sure as hell doesn’t give you credit to give health advice.
Would you take driving lessons from someone who’s never driven a car?
Same idea, who the fuck is this McDonald’s eating fuck to give advice on health?
Not to mention all the dumbass comments he’s made about nearly eradicated diseases like measles, he’s a trumper, so he supports child rape and murdering of civilians who dont lick the boots and bow down to tangerine shitler.
The clickbait title implies the problem is his drug use and not, you know, any of his actual character flaws.
Even his own family members have said he is in no state of mind or health to be in any position of authority whatsoever.
Because we don’t have a choice of who is in that position. The Grand Old Fascist Party has completely removed any form of democracy in this country. So now we are just stuck watching it happen.
We could, you know, stop voting for fascists.
Sorry, best I can do is a protest non-vote, that way they know I’m okay with whatever happens
/s
Heartwarming how many comments are defending sufferers of addiction in here from being lumped in with this piece of shit. Fedi remains such a breath of fresh air.
Americans aren’t. Fascist ignoramuses are. Those are not americans
Ah yes, No True American.
He might have had the microphone before, but then legions of non-voters granted him THE POWER over their lives!

Most of us aren’t. Hell, most of us didn’t listen to the Secretary of Health and Human Services before.
People with old, dead, rotten brains recognize his Dad and Uncle’s name. It reminds them vaguely of a time when their own father’s were in charge of all the hard decisions, their joints didn’t hurt and they had an undefined future that could have been wonderful. That future has come though and turns out they are just themselves… they failed, nothing fun they wanted really happened and everything confuses them now. They feel like frauds about to be found out and forgotten at the same time.
So seeing something they think they recognize voting for “a Kennedy” makes them indirectly fell that their own Dad will magically come back to life, tell them he’s proud and then they will be millionaires and attractive people will want to have have sex with them and fix their iPhones.
It’s just that.
…do you not understand this position isn’t even elected? I’m not fucking trusting him.
