RFK Jr. Confirmed In MAGA Health-Awareness Revolution

Daniel Woodward


In a momentous sea-change for the direction of the state of health in the United States, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that's right, the so-called vaccine skeptic and environmental lawyer, has just been confirmed by the Senate to serve as Donald Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services. This news is earth-shattering for the status-quo, COVID alarmists, and the bought-and-paid-for puppets of the pharmaceutical industry.


The Senate voted 52 to 48 today to confirm, a narrow margin that mostly reflects lock-step party lines. Only one Republican, Establishment Mitch McConnell, voted no. McConnell, who survived polio as a kid, had some strong words, emphasizing his belief in vaccines and his disapproval of Kennedy's past skepticism.


Kennedy's journey to this confirmation wasn't smooth - but that seems to be the tradition in today's hyper-partisan environment, and par for the course. His hearings were like watching a political drama unfold. Senators grilled him on his controversial stance on vaccines, his views on abortion, and even his connections with anti-vaccine groups. But despite all that, or perhaps because of his unwavering support from Trump, who called him "an incredible champion" for shared values, Kennedy made it through.


During the hearings, Kennedy tried to reassure those concerned about his vaccine views by saying he isn't "anti-vaccine" but "pro-safety." However, his past claims linking vaccines to autism have both shed light on the issue and created controversy. But whether or not there is a true link, it is telling that merely shedding light on the issue causes such averse reactions from some. And in a case of "elections have consequences," his confirmation means he'll now be at the helm of agencies like the FDA, NIH, and CDC, influencing health policy on a massive scale. Truly, this is a revolution for the American health landscape, whether you agree with his views or not.


The debate was intense. Democrats were united in their opposition, with leaders like Chuck Schumer warning that Kennedy's confirmation could make America "sicker." On the flip side, some Republican senators, like Bill Cassidy, who was initially skeptical, came around after Kennedy promised close collaboration and transparency on vaccine policies.


RFK Jr.'s confirmation comes after another contentious appointment, Tulsi Gabbard, for Director of National Intelligence, which happened just the day before. Her pick was lauded by MAGA loyalists, an interesting choice considering her switch from the Democratic Party after being alienated by their own policies and politics.


Social media has been lit up with reactions. Many are celebrating, seeing it as a win for health freedom, while Biden and Kamala Harris supporters react with alarm at the prospect of another former Democrat daring to question and challenge the status quo. There's been talk about employees at the FDA considering quitting, and big pharmaceutical stocks dipping, suggesting there might be some stormy waters ahead in the health sector. While this is seen as a terrible sign by those who do not support Trump or Kennedy, this is exactly the kind of shake-up Trump supporters voted for.


Now, with RFK Jr. in this role, the question is what this will mean for vaccines, public health initiatives, and the overall direction of HHS.


This appointment stands as what will most likely be a complete game-changer in American health policy and public awareness for healthier living. One thing's for sure; with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at HHS, the health policy landscape in America is about to get a lot more interesting. Keep your eyes peeled for what happens next in this saga.
