Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an idiot who has no prescription for disease prevention in an age when vaccines have saved lives for nearly 200 years

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has zero health care experience other than the myths he invents in his worm infested brain.  In my opinion, Americans should declare him to be a public health danger!

Echo opinion letters published in the Boston Globe:

"Does RFK Jr. have a prescription (Rx) for the times we live in?

In fact George Washington ordered the inoculation of the Continental Army against smallpox during the Revolutionary War. This decision, made in 1777, was a bold and controversial, but widely credited with helping the Americans win the war by preventing the devastating effects of a smallpox epidemic on their troops.

So, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., if I eat my veggies and avoid stress, I will not need a vaccine from Moderna or any other drug maker to fight any new bird flu mutations."

Eat right, get exercise … tell that to the Mayans

Five hundred years ago, a thriving Aztec civilization of 16 million people in Mexico was devastated within a short time by Hernán Cortés and his 500 men from Spain. A primary cause was smallpox, a virus unknown to the Aztecs. Similarly, the Mayan and Incan civilizations were also felled by epidemics of foreign diseases such as smallpox, measles, and mumps.

Europeans also brought their diseases to what is now the United States, including reportedly deliberately infecting Indigenous people, with the same devastating results.

World history would have been very different if only these people in the Americas had eaten the right foods, exercised sufficiently, and promoted better sanitation practices.

Does RFK Jr. have a prescription (Rx) for the times we live in?

So, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., if I eat my veggies and avoid stress, I will not need a vaccine from Moderna or any other drugmaker to fight any new bird flu mutations. Regular exercise, three salads a day, and abstinence from exposure to news of atrocities from the Trump administration should keep me and my octogenarian friends in good health? Sorry, I’m not buying that bridge.
