Bobby Brainworm hit with first-ever warning: 'Cannot be ignored'

Trump secretary hit with first-ever warning: ‘Cannot be ignored’

Former U.S. surgeons general are sounding the alarm on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a first-of-its-kind warning.

In an op-ed for The Washington Post, released Tuesday, the ex-health officials, appointed by Republican and Democratic presidents since George H.W. Bush, said they are “compelled to speak with one voice” against the actions of Kennedy, which they claim are “endangering the health of the nation.”

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this,” they wrote in the op-ed. “But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

The health experts — including Jerome Adams, who was nominated by President Donald Trump during his first term — argue that the nation’s public health system has been undermined, with misinformation winning over science and expertise.

What Kennedy has done is nothing short of criminal neglect of our population.

I hope the health experts keep speaking out and raising the alarm.

Kennedy wouldn't be in his position if they cared.

Kennedy didn't hide who he was.

He was right out in the open.

He lied to congress, but everyone else in this administration lied.

Bill Cassidy, a DOCTOR, voted for him.

They. Don't. Care.

RFK Jr will not wipe out cancer.

Even if he banned red dyes in foods, non-GMO foods, and pesticides, cancer will still exist.

There is evidence that the dinosaurs had tumors.

We need a scientist head of HHS to pursue mRNA vaccines as possible cure or treatments for cancers.
