These people are literally ontologically evil.

America needs BETTER!

shigeyo.bsky.social•81 days ago

A convicted felon who prioritized 🇷🇺 over 🇺🇸 picked a perfect guy for #himself. There will be lots of #secretly carried out things from 2025, for sure. Look how many years taken to have this one news come out❗

Dear NYT, thank you for pointing out the potential horror of this appointment in your pre-election coverage.

kjknoblauch.bsky.social•84 days ago

I guess he's fulfilling a useful health role: whatever he says, just assume you should do the opposite, absent clear evidence to the contrary.

drlmc.bsky.social•84 days ago

Massachusetts was site of 1st European slaughter of Natives after "pilgrims" arrived in the 1700s. Sad after soo much amends MA has made, they can't have arrested this guy for all his fraud? Save the US- indict and arrest RFK jr

edleo16.bsky.social•84 days ago

POS, just like Trump...of course he will be in his administration.

unkaren.bsky.social•84 days ago

Feels like our national loneliness epidemic is going to get worse under Republicans' Anti-Public Health Admin!

mariohere.bsky.social•84 days ago

People have come to his speeches because of his last name but leave shortly after after so much BS.

When Obama gives speeches people stay and he earns a fortune.

markjf1961.bsky.social•84 days ago

But he is a trained liar.

drewinjakarta.bsky.social•84 days ago

So he’s not just a stupid man, he’s an evil one as well.

Jesus Christ, people.

normtalk.bsky.social•84 days ago

Some people are entitled all their life and can’t stand to be wrong and use their wealth and power to distort the truth event in the expense of others.

tonvoisin.bsky.social•73 days ago

:) "Appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Minister with nearly 80 Nobel laureates opposing the choice is like giving the Ministry of Education to a hamster who won a math contest: a decision as enlightened as diving into an empty pool." Amen Tonvoisin (French Dissending Writer) Take care

amamazed.bsky.social•83 days ago

Stone age.

comradeeric.bsky.social•84 days ago

This isn’t news. He’s insane. My dad is insane. Deal with it, snowflakes

foglightmj.bsky.social•84 days ago

Another portrait-level photo.
NYT: Publicist or News Organization?

coffeequeen1.bsky.social•83 days ago

Bastion of Trump sane-washing, for sure...

fberens.bsky.social•84 days ago

Awful person.
Awful.
In so many ways.
Awful.

jesseshort.bsky.social•84 days ago

On the bright side, maybe a measles outbreak in 2024 is EXACTLY what America deserves.

michiganmomof3.bsky.social•84 days ago

Measles cases are already up over the world with more than 100,000 deaths this year, and it’s so stupid when it’s easily curable with a vaccine. the world is getting dumber.

jesseshort.bsky.social•84 days ago

I'm ok with this. We could use less unintelligent humans on Earth

michiganmomof3.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yeah but it’s the innocent who suffer. Kids don’t deserve to die because their parents are idiots. I know it happens all the time, but it makes me sad.

jesseshort.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yeah, it should be easier for kids to divorce their parents

michiganmomof3.bsky.social•84 days ago

I’m a teacher and parent to three. I work hard to indoctrinate my students to have good grammar, read books, and be kind to each other. I’m such an evil liberal. 😜 I am protective of kids & it sure hurts me to see kids w/ parents who don’t have their best interests in mind.

sholahoon.bsky.social•84 days ago

High Egg Prices have brought us worm-brained chickens so sick they want to sicken the rest of us

meg-librarian.bsky.social•84 days ago

Oh, now you tell us!

timyobo.bsky.social•84 days ago

I don't need the NYT to tell me this guy is a dangerous asshole.

jeaniecolumbo.bsky.social•84 days ago

WHY? I can’t understand WHY???

candy16nyc.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yall get your 😷 Ready because it's about to go down🤦🏾‍♀️

laneterrell.bsky.social•84 days ago

If only there was a leading world media source that could have made this crystal clear to voters before the election.

mitchsolomon.bsky.social•84 days ago

This man who claims he’s fighting to remove toxins should start with himself

musicwoman.bsky.social•84 days ago

He's a kook.

cheriebaby1.bsky.social•84 days ago

Freak

raincitywoman.bsky.social•84 days ago

He is a menace, pure and simple

carolalejandra-22.bsky.social•84 days ago

Why isn’t there more panic about this?? Good grief.

strangernalps.bsky.social•84 days ago

He should get back on the Horse immediately. He hasn’t ever had a real job. This is gonna be stressful!

vero1986.bsky.social•83 days ago

We've forgotten what's its like before vaccines...Before the measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15; tens of thousands of patients ended up hospitalized and more than 400 died every year in the U.S. how many children have to die.

vero1986.bsky.social•84 days ago

What could go wrong

cyphertim.bsky.social•84 days ago

Was he really a heroin addict? If so on top of all of his other crazy behavior he should be considered dangerous to the health of Americans. He’s habitually made really bad choices in his lifetime so we should let then let him make choices for all of us? Hell no.

mtisch717.bsky.social•84 days ago

He should go after the Flu next, lol

tellitasitis.bsky.social•84 days ago

Why don’t they just come out with it, do they want us all dead. Is that it. But no one has any rights to take away the live of another. How dare they think that America is theirs. Shame on RFK Jr, his father was assassinated for caring for the poor, the needy. And wanting Unity with Black American🇺🇸

alexandrapopoff.bsky.social•84 days ago

Trump's destroyer of the health system.

artisanrox.bsky.social•84 days ago

Conservatives, own your guy. Own your guy and all the death his dipshit ass will bring.

antonioponti.bsky.social•84 days ago

Scary SOB

dawningcapital.bsky.social•84 days ago

RFK Jr. leading HHS is a grim joke—his history of undermining public health policies speaks for itself. This appointment is a disaster waiting to happen.

maranneb.bsky.social•84 days ago

It breaks my heart how a once great and proud family has to deal with this nitwit. His dad must be turning over in his grave.

zoopaul.bsky.social•84 days ago

So basically what I would expect a white supremacist to do.

nothyphenated.bsky.social•82 days ago

They NYT directly helped trump agenda and helped get him into power
And the fuckers are pretending to find it ain’t good
This is your doing New Orc Times

danamarie.bsky.social•84 days ago

Why do people like him want everyone to die?

joelrichmond.bsky.social•84 days ago

His psychosis fuels a burning desire to eradicate or diminish proven protocols in treating diseases & viruses based on heretical reports & rumors. When he's successful people die. Promoting these theories all lead to death. RFK Jr. is a sick pup. For real.

markjf1961.bsky.social•84 days ago

Do you not want to know why America is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world yet has the highest rate of chronic illness?

lcecich.bsky.social•84 days ago

Nope

markjf1961.bsky.social•84 days ago

That right there is the problem.

lcecich.bsky.social•84 days ago

Nope

falstaffsmind.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is an example of a push poll; suggestive questions that "push" the reader toward adopting an unfavorable response. Examples of Chronic Illness include Heart Disease, Cancer, and Diabetes. Chronic illnesses are illnesses that vaccinations don't currently target.

markjf1961.bsky.social•83 days ago

Not intentionally

jamieqt.bsky.social•84 days ago

Wish we would have know.about this guy before the election so the NYT could have written this article a year ago.

coffeequeen1.bsky.social•83 days ago

my thought, exactly. NYT continuing their superlative coverage and responsibility in reporting news!

juniorbonner.bsky.social•84 days ago

Why is he so evil? What’s the backstory?

gitrithm.bsky.social•84 days ago

He’s a gargoyle.

megnk.bsky.social•84 days ago

Pretty much murdered Samoan kids…yet here we are. Thanks Cheryl

justinesharrison.bsky.social•84 days ago

i need to do more research on this but supposedly he helped create a measles outbreak in American Samoa

pyetrolamarka.bsky.social•84 days ago

How beautiful it is to see how society destroys itself.

misgivings.bsky.social•84 days ago

What a fugging psycho

chase1979.bsky.social•82 days ago

He might be an expert or at least more of an expert in some medical areas. But overall he is demoting the healthcare system by being anti-vaxx weirdo

ellenkchampion.bsky.social•84 days ago

So don't confirm him. Is that even a choice anymore? Fuck. They're running scared, faster than any rabbit in the woods, yet they're not rabbits, they're elected members of Congress.

patriciamg312.bsky.social•84 days ago

God help us!

leftsideannie.bsky.social•83 days ago

You could've reported this when it would've made a frigging difference.

aloft1961.bsky.social•83 days ago

Deadly pandemics
Coming to a nation near you

displaysandwich.bsky.social•84 days ago

RFK is a hack and a proposed appointment by a convicted felon and a rapist - jfc the fact I can even write all that out

larrynolan.bsky.social•84 days ago

He hates children and elders. It’s not a good path to reducing population growth.

unico10dfs.bsky.social•84 days ago

Nice timing NYT

How about publishing some of these pieces BEFORE the elections?

coffeequeen1.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yeah, many of us wondering about that! I would cancel my subscription, but my wife likes the puzzles. Trying to persuade her there's more to life...

torguess.bsky.social•84 days ago

How dumb can voters be?

grammarjammer99.bsky.social•84 days ago

Rhetorical question, I presume? We already have a real good idea of the phenomenal lack of sense demonstrated by almost 50% of the electorate recently.

uppidywoman.bsky.social•84 days ago

Only 1/3 of eligible voters actually, but still too many gullible fools

jamfam18.bsky.social•83 days ago

Would his Dad ever forgive him?

fjpearson.bsky.social•84 days ago

He's a moron.. that's why Trump picked him.

cv64.bsky.social•84 days ago

Incompetent, ignorant, conspiracy theorist, who took heroin for his ADHD. Cheated on his wife 37 times. Trump picks are not only losers, they are horrible people, he will destroy our health system

vladtheinhaler2425.bsky.social•84 days ago

It'll be swell having Smallpox and Polio make a big comeback in the US. Amazing.

mdlib.bsky.social•84 days ago

Smallpox is eradicated so we're safe from that one.

peterambler.bsky.social•84 days ago

Total hatchet job ... not fair, not balanced ... well below the standards of the NYT ... this was just a hatchet job ...

kdmz.bsky.social•84 days ago

Undistinguishable from a saboteur. What the hell have people voted for.

olathebrksrcub.bsky.social•84 days ago

RFK strolling to the next epidemic

mnandez.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is why lawyers and businessmen should not be in charge of healthcare. Did we not learn anything from COVID? Hello???

mitchsolomon.bsky.social•84 days ago

He’s neither of these. He’s merely a drug damaged dilettante

jmgannon.bsky.social•84 days ago

And don't forget the brain worm.

mkrebs.bsky.social•84 days ago

NOW you tell us

janderson70.bsky.social•84 days ago

He doesn’t look too healthy…..

richarddonquixote.bsky.social•84 days ago

He is a threat to all of us.

angelusnox.bsky.social•84 days ago

His brainworm starved to death.

hainanesechicken.bsky.social•84 days ago

hopefully he goes into sepsis from drinking raw milk before he can do any meaningful damage

sandipdev.bsky.social•84 days ago

RFK Jr seems like one of those rich kids who never heard the word “no” in life, they were told they are god’s gift to us mere mortals. Thats why he is very sure of himself because no one ever told him how dumb he is.

deborarodriguez.bsky.social•84 days ago

Hard times are coming. Very hard times. I'm so scared...

computer2024.bsky.social•84 days ago

Good grief

kdoh.bsky.social•84 days ago

The worm made him do it.

jasski.bsky.social•84 days ago

It is no longer aftermath reporting from you. This is now Schadenfreude.

You are relishing the fear, angst, regret that did not need to happen.
