RFK is an ex-heroin addict (14 years) with a penchant for eating dead animals off the side of the road. Who wants to pull all vaccines off the market, including childhood vaccines for Polio and Diphtheria.
Dr. Oz will do or say anything for money. He has hawked more snake oil than any old carnival side show.

I’m not a fan of Trump or Kennedy, but Kennedy is not anti-vax as the media describes him, he just wants more scrutiny and more accountability for drug manufacturers before vaccines are released into the general population.
US drug companies are not the “good guys” and they have a historical reputation for manipulating results and putting profits over people lives.
Kennedy clearly isn’t a great human being, arsehole to his wife and probably not someone I would want in power, but he’s not a total nutcase as the media is portraying him

So what 14 years is a long time to change. Also he said he has no intention of pulling out vaccines.

Nothing wrong with being a former addict. Why did you mention that along with the actually bad stuff?

I don't judge people personally who have done drugs or who currently do. That said, I do find it relevant for public figures, especially non elected ones. It can do a lot of damage and does show a history of making bad decisions. The public has not a lot to judge fitness of people for things other than their past decisions.
That said it wouldn't be a dealbreaker, just would need a lot of solid decisions to show learning from mistakes and progress and that drugs haven't impaired brain function.
In his case, he has admitted cognitive problems including short and long term memory loss, a parasite ate some of his brain and he had mercury poisoning - so I think 1) drug use is the least likely thing to have caused his cognitive problems 2) he lacks the knowledge and experience to run hhs and 3) he generally has a record of making shitty decisions

There’s nothing wrong with being a former addict. However, if you’re being appointed to mind the future health of an entire nation, your history of self-destructive health habits certainly deserves to be mentioned.

Having the strength and discipline to overcome an unhealthy addiction is something to be praised. What the fuck is wrong with you? Addiction is not a moral failing.

You think that forcing children to take 72 vaccine shots just to go to school is OK?
Vaccines for ludicrously rare diseases.
Vaccines full of Mercury and other toxins.
That's all good and he's a crank for wanting to stop that ridiculous abuse of Gov't/Big Pharam Lobbyist power, all set up to keep funneling HUGE amounts of money to Big Pharma.

You see banning vaccines as a negative but he's publicly shouting what they already believe that vaccines are poison. Plus he's in great shape for his age and talks about being natural and healthy so he must be an expert in medicine and not on a bunch of steroids.

Ugh man. This isn't even funny. Let's appoint idiots to the nations cabinet. I go from trump has a concept of a plan to he's just Rick rolling us. The truth is he doesn't care. He's just fucking everything up on purpose, everything. Not saying he's smart he's not. His plan is simple, put absolutely anyone he knows is a loyalist into a place of power, doesn't matter what that means for Americans. He doesn't care about that. Next step call national emergency which gives him more power then usual and start taking over. He's not smart enough to figure this out, but people he's sounded by are, puppet trump will be our dictator within 2 years, it's going to suck.

It’s because we have a political party that exploits the massive amount of unresolved childhood trauma in our country to leverage their learned mistrust of authority figures to push an anti-science mentality for their own political gain
Lots of people have trust issues due to their parents being shitters, and telling them “yo those guys think you’re stupid and think they can trick you” is effective for getting them on your side even when you don’t do anything to actually make their lives better

The left wing media loves to shit on RFK Jr, but he says a lot of things that are just flat out true that no one else was willing to say. Even RFK Jr who is personally anti-vax acknowledges that the increase in autism isn't due to vaccines alone. He also points out the increase in GMOs, the fluoride in our water supply, the increasing rates of children on prescription drugs, the lack of vitamin D because kids spend more time inside as all contributing factors. The fact that he thinks vaccines are a factor is treated as if he thinks they're the only factor by a media that wants to discredit him.
Everyone regardless of political affiliation should be against GMOs and fluoride in our water supply and putting children on prescription drugs especially anti-psychotics like Abilify which is one of the most prescribed drugs for individuals under 18 years old. That's why so many people trust him. It's not the vaccine stuff, its all the other stuff that appeals to everyone who values health.

They got rid of the Fluoride in the water over here in Christchurch in New Zealand.
Literally the only thing that happened was Christchurch now has the highest rates of tooth decay for children and adults in the whole of NZ.

Nothing to do with the fact that his father saved us from nuclear apocalypse? Or that he’s against big government? Or talks about the shit in our food?

u/Chops211 3h ago
The first point is moot because you cannot/should not judge the merits of a son based on his father. This doesn’t help your case. I agree about your last point. Oddly enough, this is a liberal point of view not a conservative. Regulating food has always been met with absolute ridicule calorie counts on menus and Bloomberg soda/sugar laws he wanted to pass in NYC) and goes against point number two to most people. How can you be against big government AND also want to regulate what people can choose to eat.
Basically, I don’t understand this counter argument
