RFK Jr. Lands HHS Gig Despite Pharma-Funded Opposition
(The Perimeter) In a move that likely sent shockwaves through the halls of Pfizer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was officially confirmed as the Director of Health and Human Services. The appointment came after a contentious Senate vote, with Mitch McConnell standing as the lone wolf, his pockets presumably jingling with the loose change from Big Pharma's coffers.
Kennedy, branded by critics as "anti-vax," is more accurately described as a skeptic of the pharmaceutical industrial complex's cocktail of additives. His crusade is for a safer vaccine protocol, one that doesn't make you feel like you've been injected with a mystery mixture from a lab in Wuhan.
The nomination process was a political shitshow from the get-go. Kennedy's book, which dared to suggest that the “real” Dr. Anthony Fauci might not be the Saint of Science he's painted to be, ignited a firestorm among Democrats. They threw every rhetorical Molotov they could find, but Kennedy, with the political agility of a circus acrobat, managed to navigate this minefield.
His confirmation was only possible thanks to some Republican senators who, after initial hesitation, were swayed by a nudge from President Trump or, hopefully, the compelling case Kennedy made for transparency and safety in healthcare.
In an era where the establishment's narrative is as tightly controlled as a script on a reality TV show, Kennedy's appointment is a rare glimpse of rebellion against the pharmaceutical behemoths, proving that even in Washington, sometimes, the truth can be more persuasive than a well-lined campaign fund.
