The Senate voted on Thursday to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Health and Human Services secretary, a victory for President Donald Trump after Kennedy faced intense scrutiny over his controversial views on vaccines and public health policy.
The 52-48 vote was largely along party lines, though Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky once again joined with Democrats to oppose the nomination. McConnell has now voted against three of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, more than any other Republican senator.
The confirmation vote highlights the extent of Trump’s influence over the Senate GOP majority, as a slate of contentious nominees who faced questions over whether they could be confirmed – including Kennedy, Pete Hegseth as defense secretary and Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence – have been approved by Senate Republicans for top administration posts.
Save this for the critics.
Try reading wikipedia re: Levine. No mention that she is a he, no mention of his original first name. That is apparently strictly verboten. Jeez.
Wikipedia is a leftist hellhole and not a source of accurate information
Excellent news.
Awesome.
“Move fast and break stuff.”
Seriously, what the hell is up with McConnell? Is there a video of him with a pre teen boy?
McConnell cited his experience as a survivor of childhood polio in a statement explaining his opposition to Kennedy.
So did Neil Young. Hmmmm…I’m seeing a pattern here, he’s a pain in the ass to everyone too.
I did hear that his staffers were very worried about him when they saw him fall down two flights of stairs.
Other than the many bruises, they were worried he might have broken his neck, but then they realized he was a RINO and had no spine. 🙂
Here is a less “biased in favour of Democrats” version.
RFK Jr. Confirmed by Senate as HHS Secretary

Good news
“ Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky once again joined with Democrats to oppose the nomination “
Just die already you pathetic deep state fossil.
Excellent news. When Kennedy’s withdrew from the Presidential race, he putout the message that everyone thinking of voting for him should vote for Trump instead. This was the goal. I think he will be very effective.
I truly hope RFK Jr is effective in his new position. MAHA is a noble cause.
Not a fan of this guy. Too many fringe beliefs, not enough respect for solid science.
http://web.archive.org/web/20060422012127/http:/www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/7395411/deadly_immunity/
Combine this with no training in the medical sciences and some bad decisions can be made.
And his permanent case of roach throat makes him tough to listen to.
If you’re not a fan, he must be a superb candidate and will make an excellent secretary.
He accused MMR vaccines of causing autism, which is not backed by any credible science. This guy could get a lot of people killed.
In the same manner, whatever conservatives say must not be true because it isn’t backed by the CBC, BBC, CNN, or the rest of the controlled far-left media.
This is a common logical fallacy – appealing to authority. But made worse by believing that the controlled medical establishment is an authority on anything.
You think being guided by the preponderance of the science is “appealling to authority”, do you?
Well I’ve never heard that one before. In truth it’s “appealing to the preponderance of the evidence”, which is strongly advised. You’re putting science on the same level as every fringe nutcase out there, which is not good for your health.
I think being guided by those who purport to be guided by the preponderance of the science is appealing to authority.
And no, I’m putting junk science where it belongs. You don’t seem to be able to differentiate between science and junk-science.
That which does not follow the scientific method is not science. And vaccines are the very definition of junk science. Invented by a quack. Profited off of by the corrupt. Used by the ignorant.
Instead of the scientific method, you’ll simply get studies with cooked numbers. Kinda like fluoride use, where the authors will show improved dental health after poisoning local reservoirs. But then ignore the fact that dental health also improved where reservoirs weren’t poisoned. In that case, dental hygiene was improving largely as a result of better overall hygiene, and otherwise cleaner water supplies. So the study itself shows a trend, but is deceptive in that it comes to the conclusion its sponsors desired.
Someone naive however would be inclined to believe that a toxic industrial waste by-product like fluoride is actually helpful, and as a result would likely poison themselves and their children.
No different with vaccines.
Your definition of junk science is “reaches conclusions I don’t like”. My definition is “uses methodology or reasoning that is inconsistent with sound scientific practices.” In short, you judge the conclusions and I judge the process.
My definition of junk science is “doesn’t apply the scientific method”. Your definition is “sounds sciency, and I want to believe it’s true.”
In short, you don’t evaluate views you don’t like, and you project hypocrisy.
Great. This is the point where you list a bunch of vaccine papers that you feel did not apply the scientific method.
And you could list a bunch of Klingon papers.
See where I’m going here?
“This guy could get a lot of people killed.”
Says the guy who believes in “safe and effective”.
Dude, you have no credibility.
And neither does the scientific establishment, at this point. Between the replication crisis and GIANT RAT BALLS, there’s no longer any such thing as “credible science”. We’re out where the buses don’t run, lay people have to make decisions for themselves and that means a lot of them are going to make bad decisions – or at least, decisions you personally disagree with.
And the fault for that lies squarely with all the scientists who abandoned the scientific method for money, fame and influence, and all the people like you who excused it and carried water for them.
“And neither does the scientific establishment, at this point. Between the replication crisis and GIANT RAT BALLS, there’s no longer any such thing as “credible science”.”
We keep trying to tell him, and he keeps bleating on about “consensus” (which has zero to do with actual science) and “peer review” (which has been corrupted to the point of being utterly useless now).
Watto hit the nail on the head: if it doesn’t follow the Scientific Method, it is NOT SCIENCE.
(see: the “climate crisis”)
DR:
Your obsession with rat balls is … disturbing. You may want want to talk to someone about that.
He’s talking to you about it, jackass. Are you capable of answering?
On the contrary he, like millions of others respect science but, like millions of others, is able to differentiate between science and the junk science of vaccines.
If people listened to him, and millions like him, he could prevent millions from getting killed by the diseases CAUSED by vaccines.
But sadly far too many have been indoctrinated into the lie of vaccines being “good” and viruses (a solvent which your cells produce as a tool to fight off infection from bacteria, molds, metals, and other toxins) as “bad”.
Your logic is this…
o Vaccines are a giant scam.
o Therefore any science which supports vaccines — and the vast prepondance of it does — is junk science.
You’ve put the cart before the horse. Examine the science, THEN reach a conclusion.
No it isn’t. My logic is testing the evidence. My conclusion is that there isn’t any.
There isn’t any science that supports vaccines.
None.
There is instead a bunch of mixing correlation with causation. Much of which appears to have been done on purpose. Vaccines CAUSE diseases. Those diseases are then used as the excuse to use vaccines.
Just as was done with the Coronahoax.
The explosion of previously unknown diseases that developed after vaccines should be enough to make one curious. There’s a lot of money to be made from people believing this lie.
Well I’ll just leave that statement right there, and let the readers judge who’s tethered to reality. My great fear is that RFK Jr. sort of agrees with you.

Likewise. If people want to believe that being injected with known toxins, using a procedure developed by a nut who killed his own son, then it’s their choice. But first they have to realize that it is NOT based on science NOR widely accepted. It is simply a cabal that pushes a narrative and suppresses dissent at all cost.
https://circleofmamas.com/health-news/12-reasons-vaccines-are-dangerous/
Yeah, you might want to layoff the “Circle of mamas” website.
It would take months to dismantle all of their nonsense, but it is nonsense. There are have been millions (literally) of scientific studies on vaccines that refute their claims. Circle of mamas are the flat earthers of the medical world.
I simply posted the first site I could find using foreign browsers that aren’t suppressed by censors of the Ministry of Truth. I don’t condone everything they say.
It takes a concerted effort to project the illusion of science and consensus re: the junk science of vaccines. Thus the suppression of anything but the official lies.
In the same manner, it would take months to dismantle all of the lies re: vaccines, but they are lies. There are no valid scientific studies showing vaccines to cure anything.
Virology and vaccine junk-science is the phrenology of the medical world.
I’m stocking up on pre-RFK Fruit Loops. I’ll sell them on the black (sorry) market for $20.00/box. They’ll be like eggs after all the chickens have been killed because of a virus.
Psssst … I’m just waiting for him to declare Global Warming an existential National Health threat, and that all automobiles are all outlawed, effective immediately
But, but, but … “transitioning youth” won’t feel safe anymore! They need someone who … looks like they want to look like … in positions of power!
Vaccines “used” to be good. Polio, the childhood diseases – our mother would bundle us all up (4 children under the age of 6), take us to the Public Health Clinic at Edmonton City Hall on a city bus (she did not drive) to ensure our health.
Sadly, Big Pharma has ruined the reputation of vaccines. I truly think it is “ALL about the money now”. I could be wrong, but when even The Big Bang Theory denigrates them (through the character Bernadette who works at a Big Pharma company), then you know something is up.
Ah yes, Polio, the disease that never existed before DDT. And which disappeared after the removal of DDT.
Incidentally Polio still exists in countries that continue to spray DDT.
But Polio is still a useful tool for convincing people of the validity of the junk science of vaccines who were of an impressionable age during that scare. In the same way that many of the young of today will believe that the poisons injected into people during the non-existent Coronahoax prevented more from dying.
DDT’s insecticidal abilities were discovered n 1939 and widespread use in farming began in 1944. Full-scale resistance to DDT didn’t begin in the U.S. till the late 1960s, leading to its ban in 1972. Further, DDT is very persistent in the environment. It can last for many decades.
Polio has been present for millenia, but only reached epidemic proportions in the early 20th century (1916 was particularly terrible year), possibly due to increased urbanization. But the most startling thing is how polio began a precipitous decline in 1955, going to near zero in the U.S. by 1963, from which it never “recovered”.
In short, the time lines don’t line up properly to blame polio on DDT. There’s a loose correlation in timing, but that is all.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/prevalence-of-polio-rates-in-the-united-states
There is no verifiable proof that “Polio has been present for millenia”. Though there was a massive production of chlorobenzene in 1915 related to the world war. That chemical produces similar harm to people as DDT.
And it was the fogging machines of DDT through populated areas that immediately led to cases of Polio. DDT might exist in other forms, but breathing in that chemical cloud will most certainly cause serious permanent damage.
The POSs who ordered the spraying of people did so under the lame excuse that Polio was spread by insects and that DDT would kill them.
All moronic excuses to spray people – similar to injecting people with poison during the Coronahoax. The same people who have ruled us cull our numbers and weaken us with the same playbook, using a thin veneer of junk science each time.
You forgot to bring actual proof that DDT causes polio. All you have is a loose correlation. That’s not near solid enough evidence.
Besides, the scientific evidence that polio is caused by a virus, and that polio vaccines work, is overwhelming. Here was one of the earliest studies, a placebo-controlled study involving over one million children. Note the table near the bottom:
https://www.biostat.wisc.edu/~chappell/641/papers/paper2.htm
Just like someone wouldn’t convince you that bullets kill people, unless enough peer-reviewed studies were commissioned by a controlled body of people purporting to be experts.
You are so brainwashed it would take serious reprogramming efforts to bring you back, if that’s even doable.
Who could possibly think that a deadly chemical gas that melts the wings off of insects would similarly damage lung tissue?
NO! That can’t be! It must be a coincidence! Instead, it’s the invisible scary thing that no one can see, and that only “experts” infer exists through the use of electron microscopes. The fact that these mysterious outbreaks of various plagues ALWAYS align with exposure to toxins means nothing to you.
Can’t reason with someone who has outsourced his thinking to others.
“Who could possibly think that a deadly chemical gas that melts the wings off of insects would similarly damage lung tissue?”
Enhaling DDT is extremely dangerous. In can kill you. But the evidence that it specifically induces polio is just not there. Polio is caused by a virus, and there’s no serious scientific doubt over that.
If you understand what a virus is, as opposed to the lies those with vested interests spin, you’d realize how ridiculous your statement is.
It’d be akin to saying, “Exposure to napalm is dangerous, but the evidence of the combustion of thousands of Vietnamese due to napalm is just not there. It was due to a solvent produced by one’s cells to stave off infection.”
A solvent that is not alive, and is not transmissible.
Just another coincidence.
Are you saying that virus cannot cause disease?
Think of viruses as products of your own body’s white blood cells. They act like the special forces of your body’s defense. When your body has been seriously compromised by foreign agents such as bacteria, mold, or metals, viruses are produced to attack these agents. During the “battle” your body temperature is raised and you will experience fever, sweating, and other side-effects from this struggle.
This is a natural and necessary process.
The POSs who fully understand this natural process have purposely lied about it and ensured the people are kept ignorant of this fact. They instead tell us that viruses are foreign, and that we can “catch” them. Further, that they are forever evolving (despite not being alive) and that to save us, we must get injected with the very things viruses protect us from, such as metals.
That is why one actually gets “side-effect” symptoms from being injected with these poisonous shots. Depending on the strength of one’s immune system, some will have little side-effects, some will have greater, and some will succumb to them. And of course, no one can be certain what percentage contain harmless solutions.
In short, vaccines CAUSE the disease. Once they do, the negative results they produce are used as the excuse to vaccinate more. This becomes obvious for those who research past supposed epidemics, but sadly few do any real research. So the purposely-created controlled media hysteria guides the weak minds of most to follow the herd.
Sad, but that is the same process used by leftist governments around the world. Create problems. Introduce otherwise unwanted “solutions” to those problems. Take credit for “saving” people. Rinse and repeat.
Why change what is so effective?
Watto, the odds that virus can not cause disease are zero. This is an area which has been subjected to a massive amount of scientific study — literally millions of studies — and it is not in the least bit plausible that they are mistaken.
You have been duped. You have been listening to people who are not connected to reality in the slightest.
Nope, not duped. Educated. Listening to the same lie told by different people does not change the lie.
The fact that the field now involves far more people than before changes nothing – most are not in the know, but are simply working in silo’d conditions. Viruses aren’t alive. They are solvents. They are produced by your own blood cells. They are your body’s last line of defense from infection.
Those who claim to have seen viruses or developed vaccines to fight them are liars.
Period.
Trying to reason with someone who will not accept even the most basic scientific result is a waste of time. We do not speak the same language. I just hope you don’t do damage to those around you by trying to talk them out of evidence-based medical treatments.
Trying to reason with someone who is unable or unwilling to differentiate between science and fraud is pointless. You falsely believe you already have truth and are therefore blind.
I tried with you, but you are determined to live in a fantasy dreamed up by those who profit from your belief in a make-believe world. People like you were helpful in pushing the Coronahoax, and getting people poisoned as a result.
You falsely conflate medicine with the junk science of viruses and vaccines.
That virus could cause disease was discovered in the late 1800s, well before “big pharma”.
The polio shot was started in the early 1950s when DDT was prevalent. I never knew a peer crippled by polio like a neighbor lady who was in a wheelchair since the 1920s. The shot worked like a damn. Today’s problem is with the oral vaccine that can cause polio. I got it as a booster after I got immunity from the shot. They now give the oral vaccine as a first dose so they can ensure they will never be out of work.
L – There is a Great Men theory of history. Victor Davis Hanson arthoured “The Saviour Generals”, about crucial turning points in history, when all seemed lost. Then a leader or a
people searching for an outsider with unrecognized talent; who could lead them out of the wilderness, defeat an invincible monster or save them from a natural disaster. Sometimes
they come from humble circumstance, very seemingly ordinary people.
This is the archetype of the hero. The Bible narratives, those of Greek and Roman history and
Mythology have such heroic narratives. When Donald J. Trump was wounded and rose up
with his fist in the air shouting “Fight, Fight, Fight” to inspire Americans to rally and face down
the political monsters they feared. It appeared as though he had been touched by God, appointed for the task. Soon others, many of whom were high profile Democrats with their
own histories of fight crime and corruption in the deep state.
President Donald J. Trump and his X Team of heroes and heroines heralded a new era, the
making of history, a renewal of Western Civilization is in process. Will such courage prove
contagious? Will Canadians clean house, too? What about Europe now in a suicidal death
loop? Living through history has always been more scary, more challenging than reading
about it or watching a movie. Are we up for it? If not, Canada becomes a failed state and
that ain’t pretty!
Great Comment Larry!
But Canada has been brought to its knees! Trump may be able to resurrect the US !
If Pierre Poilievre doesn’t get in and we get the Liberal shit show——- Western Separation is our only option!
Making America Healthy Again is a horrible objective, and the obvious intent of a Constitution-threatening American Dictator – every liberal Democrat. (This message brought to you by BigPharma. Making you well after we poison you).
Coming soon!
