(5:26) MSNBC discusses RFK decision to terminate mRNA research:

This guy is certainly bringing to his storied family. It is almost too bad that there is no such things as afterlives so our spirits could come back and reap revenge on those who deserve it . No doubt either Bobby Kennedy or Ethel Kennedy would try to knock some sense into this offspring of theirs. But no such luck.

One of the duties of the the senate in the constitution is to approve of the president’s picks for various cabinet posts so that if there is someone who lacked the skill, ability, knowledge or is simply unfit to be in a cabinet post, the senate could stop such a bad situation. This year the senate failed miserably in their duty this year.

The senate failed not just once, but several times. If I recall the only unfit cabinet pick was Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. However they did approve someone at least as bad in Pam Bondi. Among those they approved was Robert Kennedy, junior. Junior Kennedy was approved to the job that has a great effect on the nation’s health. 

Kennedy was possibly the worst choice possible for this particular job. His lack of belief in science in preference to junk science is well known. His lack of empathy is well known. But given the power to make decisions for the country’s health, Kennedy has chosen to cut off some of the most promising research that we are doing. That would be in the area of mRNA research.

mRNA research is the research that led to an effective covid vaccine that led this country out of a dark and scary time. For a while it looked like it may be years before science would be able to create a vaccine to counteract Covid. But researchers at the time turned that on its head and created a vaccine within months.

While the FIWH wants to take credit for the covid vaccine I would argue that point. However, the trump White House at the time had no clue how to deploy it. When Biden became president in 2021, his team quickly set up a deployment that got millions of doses out to the public in a short time despite some daunting problems.

Now, as if to seek revenge against those who used their power to help all Americans. The FIWH’s stooge at health and Human Services has cut off money for research into what may be one of the most promising avenues of inquiry available right now.

Even Trump’s first Surgeon General called out this insane move. Writing on X, Jerome Adams wrote: 

Jerome Adams, who served as surgeon general for the bulk of President Donald Trump’s first term, wrote on X that while he has “tried to be objective and non-alarmist” about recent decisions made at HHS under Kennedy, “quite frankly this move is going to cost lives.”

“mRNA technology has uses that go far beyond vaccines … and the vaccine they helped develop in record time is credited with saving millions,” Adams wrote. 

The announcement that Kennedy made Wednesday was full of holes that anyone with a high school education could easily discredit it. This is just another in his legacy of dismantling of the HHS and turning into an agency for crackpots.

If you voted for Trump and his dismantling of a government that worked you bear responsibility.
