Everything that is right and reasonable shows that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. should be fired: his morbid hatred of vaccines and orthodox medicine makes him unfit to safeguard public health.
In plain terms, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become the
nation’s worst health secretary. Instead of guarding the country’s well-being,
he’s turned public health into a demolition project. His obsession with tearing
down vaccines, his hatred of orthodox medicine, and his disregard for science
have left America standing in quicksand at the very moment we need steady
ground.
When the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), backed by twenty other groups, declared that Americans would needlessly suffer and die under Kennedy’s watch, that was not partisan chatter. These are the very people who spend their lives preventing outbreaks, saving patients, and fighting disease. For them to break precedent and demand his resignation shows just how far off the rails Kennedy has gone. When the fire brigade refuses to enter a burning building because the chief poured gasoline on the flames, you know you’re in trouble.
Kennedy has dismissed decades of work on food safety,
vaccination, and chronic disease prevention. These are not optional luxuries;
they are the pillars that keep communities alive. Yet he treats science like an
enemy to be mocked and ignored. A man who breaks his own compass should not
be leading an expedition. And yet here we are, with Kennedy steering the
Department of Health straight into the rocks.
His hostility toward medical experts is so brazen that
even seasoned professionals had to admit they’d never seen anything like it.
Amanda Jezek of the IDSA explained how her group tried repeatedly to meet with
Kennedy, only to be stonewalled. He would not even give the courtesy of a
conversation. That’s not leadership—it’s arrogance dressed up as independence.
When the very people you’re supposed to listen to line up at your door and you
slam it in their faces, you’re not just ignoring science—you’re declaring war
on it.
Then came the firing of the CDC director, which set off a
wave of resignations from top scientists. That wasn’t a reshuffling—it was a
purge. Imagine a football coach cutting his star quarterback, his running back,
and his defensive line right before the Super Bowl because they wouldn’t play
barefoot. That’s what Kennedy did. He gutted the nation’s most important health
agency in the middle of crisis season, leaving the public to pay the price.
And what did he do next? He strutted into the Senate
Finance Committee, defending his twisted views on vaccines, then hopped on
social media to call for “new blood” at the CDC. Let’s be honest—Kennedy
doesn’t want new blood, he wants no blood. He wants to drain the system dry of
credibility and replace it with his pet theories. A doctor who prescribes
bleach for fever should never run the hospital. Yet Kennedy keeps writing
prescriptions for disaster.
But here’s the cruelest joke of all: President Trump has
kept him in place. The President, who sells himself as a dealmaker and a tough
boss, is now the enabler-in-chief of this catastrophe. He drinks from Kennedy’s
poisoned chalice and insists it’s vintage wine. Every day Kennedy sits at HHS
is another day Trump signs off on the slow poisoning of America’s health. If
you let a snake sleep in your bed, don’t be surprised when it bites.
Trump cannot plead ignorance. The resignations are
public, the warnings loud, the evidence overwhelming. By keeping Kennedy, Trump
owns Kennedy’s failures. Every preventable death, every vaccine delayed, every
program dismantled will stain Trump’s record as much as Kennedy’s. This is not
loyalty—it’s liability. And a president who mistakes the two ends up dragging
the whole nation down with him.
The truth is brutal: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has no
business running the Department of Health and Human Services. And President
Trump has no excuse for letting him stay. When the roof is leaking and the
landlord shrugs, the tenants drown. That’s where America stands right
now—drowning in bad leadership while the man at the top insists everything is
fine.
I won’t sugarcoat it. Kennedy has turned HHS into a
circus where medicine is mocked, progress is reversed, and science is booed off
the stage. Trump is the ringmaster who refuses to shut it down. Together, they
have made public health a gamble where the stakes are measured in human lives.
America cannot afford another day of Kennedy’s sabotage.
And we cannot afford another day of Trump pretending this is leadership. The
fire alarms are blaring, the exits are blocked, and the house is filling with
smoke. If this isn’t the moment to demand change, then we may as well admit
we’ve chosen self-destruction.
