Just when you think the Trump administration has sunk to its lowest degree of depravity, someone in it says, you think that’s bad? Hold my beer!

Three Kentucky babies are dead from whooping cough, a disease we know how to prevent. What kind of society lets children die from a solved problem? Their deaths were not inevitable. 

In Kentucky, we know what vaccine-preventable disease looks like. Our own Sen. Mitch McConnell lives with the lifelong effects of childhood polio. Public health once eliminated diseases like polio, but today that legacy is beginning to unravel. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the one pulling at the threads. 

As families grieve the unthinkable, Kennedy’s handpicked vaccine panel weakened hepatitis B protections for newborns. 

During his confirmation hearing, Kennedy explicitly told senators, “I support the measles vaccine, I support the polio vaccines, I will do nothing as HHS secretary that makes it difficult or discourages people taking them.”

He pledged to Sen. Bill Cassidy that he would maintain the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) “without changes.”

He committed to Sen. Todd Young to prioritize funding for long COVID research. 

These statements were made under oath before the U.S. Senate. They weren’t vague campaign promises; they were direct assurances to senators whose votes secured his confirmation.

Less than a year later, Kennedy has broken each one of these commitments.  

This heroin-addicted miscreant, who used to kill baby chicks and mice in blenders for the hell of it (making him a psychopath on top of it all), has no interest in health or science. He’s worse than a con artist, because his psychopathy makes it impossible for him to see the harm he is causing others. Hell, it might even be something that gets him off.

Anyway, here’s a detailed explanation on how he makes us all sick:

This is too late, though, for the Kentucky babies he has already killed.

But then, this is what the “right to life” MAGAts happily voted for and still support (until he kills one of their family members).
