Imagine telling someone in 2020 that five years later, America’s Health Secretary would ban Covid vaccinations for most of the population. They’d laugh it off as political satire. Yet here we are.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., long known for his opposition to vaccines, is no longer just a voice on the margins. He is shaping national health policy, and his first major move is to deny millions of Americans access to a life-saving tool. Whatever your personal view on the Covid jab, the reality is clear: vaccines saved millions of lives and helped bring an out-of-control pandemic under some measure of control. The data was overwhelming. The choice was there. Now, that choice has been taken away.
What makes this decision so reckless is not just the health risks, but the symbolism. A Health Secretary who mistrusts vaccines is like an Education Secretary who mistrusts books. It sends a signal that ideology matters more than evidence. Loyalty to a political narrative matters more than the safety of citizens.
If a new Covid strain sweeps the globe – and history suggests new pandemics are inevitable – America will be dangerously exposed. Hospitals could overflow again. Vulnerable people will be left with fewer options. Families who want protection will have it denied by their own government.
This is more than bad policy. It’s an assault on public health, and it reduces freedom rather than expanding it. The cruel irony is that in the name of “choice,” choice itself has been stripped away. The consequences, if the virus returns in force, will be measured not in polls or speeches, but in lives lost.

R F Kennedy Jnr., a pile of plopped putridity and inquinated ignorance, knows virtually nothing at all, let alone essentials for his position. To expect wisdom from a scumbered skunk is ridiculous, but so Trumpy…
He is a disgrace to his father who was a progressive AG before his assassination for that progressivism. If I believed in such things I would suggest his father would be rolling in his grave. The only consolation is that in a new pandemic those who would choose not to be vaccinated would probably be MAGA’s
So little loss.
The American public wander along in the cosy glow of MAGA, meanwhile the administration they elected is slipping back into the Dark Ages where women didn’t vote, just stayed home producing babies most of whom died in infancy (that’s already happening) and public health was non-existent. By the time they wake up and see what’s happened it will be too late. There will be no elections as they know them, DT will have secured POTUS for life and a great democracy will be extinguished. Civil War second time? That is their only hope
The farce playing out in Trump’s Whorehouse makes Alice in Wonderland look like factual history.Even Lewis Carroll could not have conceived the characters in this real time disaster.
Keitha,I seriously doubt Trump will survive until this term runs out,and if he does, he’ll be a drooling basket case..if he isn’t already.
Survival of the fittest or eugenics for the top ppl?
One recalls an anti-science & anti-Covid US media outlet’s proprietor fled the US for UK and the first COVID jabs…..
They hate science when it pares their influence, but embrace it personally…..
