Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville criticized Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine approach, warning the secretary’s policies could have fatal consequences for the country.

“Bobby Kennedy is going to kill more people than any Cabinet secretary, maybe in history, with his idiotic vaccine policy,” Carville said Wednesday in an interview on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show.”

Carville added that vaccines are “the greatest public health intervention in the history of the world,” blasting Kennedy for what he characterized as sowing distrust in vaccines.

“He has expressed vaccine skepticism at every point,” Carville said. “Every notable public health person thinks that vaccines are the greatest public health innovation in the history of the world.”

We need more national figures --or movie stars speaking out about the benefits of vaccines IMHO.

1. Yeah, well that is WHY he was nominated and confirmed. The MAGA Repugs are

the party of mass death. A million Covid deaths, half of which were avoidable but not avoided due to MAGA politics, is just the starter. The entrees are coming up in the decade ahead.

7. They probably think their favored group will be exempt.

Meaning rich white people.

I assume they are operating on the presumption that there
will actually still be vaccines. However, the whole process
will of course be privatized so that they will not be affordable
to the people they hate.

9. Yep. No longer recommended makes no insurance payment required.

2. K&R

3. It falls on deaf ears.

Deaths from NOT being vaccinated are far off, hazy and theoretical, and anyway, they'll happen to someone else.

But when a Grifting Repuke tells you immigrants are going to eat your dog and murder your pretty blonde daughter, that is an immediate fear that motivates a voter.

4. I've been saying since COVID how fucking dangerous this psychopath and his wellness industry bullshit are.

People will die. People will die in the streets because Fox News turned our healthcare system into a joke. This entire party is one gigantic death cult.

[Clouds Passing]

5. And don't forget ALL of the gqp with their "heinous murderous bill"

Genociders! They learned from the masters.

6. McNamara's Got the Record

How many American casualties happened in Vietnam because of his ineptitude?

Add in the combo of Margaret Heckler and Otis Bowen - Secretaries of HHS under Reagan, who oversaw the non-response to the AIDS epidemic because... gays.

8. Trump's legacy

His staff likes to talk about Trump's legacy.

He already has a legacy; it was his first term.

Trump could have averted about 40% of COVID deaths.

There's nothing that he can do to erase that legacy.

But he could have tried to achieve a legacy of cancer research.

But that will never happen; as he and his staff have cancelled cancer research.

There is some promising trials using mRNA vaccines to treat pancreatic cancer.

But, I would not trust RFK Jr to pursue this because of his stance on vaccines.

One day, this treatment may be used in other types of cancers.

10. THAT'S how bad things are: Even Carville is hitting things out of the park!

For I don't know how long now, James Carville has done nothing but rub me the wrong way on any number of matters. But he sure as hell gets it right in describing what a sick pestilence rfk jr. is. As far as I'm concerned, rfk jr. is putting me, my family, and my friends in mortal danger, every moment he holds sway over this nation's health policy. No one individual is a better example of trump's evil impact on our society---and I offer my thanks to James Carville for expressing that threat so clearly.

11. Bob has as much qualification for any medical decision as ... well, the supreme court

[Quanto Magnus]

12. Well

that's what they want.... Expect Trump to say RFK Jr. is doing a great job saving lives!

[Canada Kid]

13. Legalizing murder?

This RFK Jr. is completely lunatic, yet he is going around doing dangerous stuff quite unchallenged. Could he not be charged with reckless endangerment or something along those lines? Where the hell are all the sharp lawyers and strategists out there? Carville is only one voice!
