Summary

Over 15,000 doctors, through the Committee to Protect Health Care, urged the Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of health and human services, citing his anti-vaccine advocacy, promotion of conspiracy theories, and lack of qualifications.

Critics, including Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, warn his leadership would endanger public health. Supporters claim opposition is driven by pharmaceutical interests.

Kennedy’s confirmation would require near-unanimous Republican support in the Senate.

Advocacy groups are campaigning against his appointment, emphasizing his alleged role in spreading misinformation during past public health crises.

    The risk here is so non-existent, that I can safely eat my eggs raw. This is an official stance of the Finnish health authorities.

    I trust them saying that.

    But if RFK said that about American eggs, I would laugh out loud.

    Most American bread sold here has to be marketed as dessert, because of the high sugar content. I mean, there really isn’t demand for it, but you’ll sometimes see some in some novel “America” shelves/sections.
