This sounds like a stupid question, but I’m being genuine.
He is telling people to eat more meat, which sounds absolutely insane to me.
What qualifies him to give health advice ? Why are americans trusting him ?
Being a former heroin addict doesn’t make someone a bad source of information, especially if they’ve turned their lives around.
But I agree otherwise
Having a worm drive your thoughts does tho…
It isn’t exactly a credential.
Right, but you wouldn’t put a former heroin addict in this position. The optics alone are sure to cause trust issues and this guy is nowhere close to being qualified to run HHS.
I feel like goddamn brain worm should be a hard disqualify for jobs that impact health.
I’m not taking his advice, not trusting him with anything.
This administration is nothing but a bunch of ignorant narcissistic racist scared buffoons who were taken from Fox News. The people who trust him are ignorant narcissistic racist scared buffoons who watch Fox News.
It’s really amazing how inept they all are.
I dunno. I think it’s really too bad they melted down the demon core. I’d probably trust him to run a supercriticality experiment all on his own.
This is honestly a disgusting take because it shows how biased you are against addicts. Not a stupid question. Just a nasty one. Your 2nd and 3rd are good questions though. I don’t think there’s jack shit qualifying him to give health advice in reality. He’s a crackpot supplement pusher. Which I feel kinda answers your 3rd; americans have a long history of being stupid and blindly trusting whatever the pill-pusher says, because they hear what they want to hear. Unfortunately.
I hate RFK and all the damage he’s done/is doing to our country’s general state of health. His history of addiction is literally last on the list of reasons not to trust him. In my view, a history of addiction (now being in recovery) usually gives you a pretty sane view of health, since it brings you so close to death. The overwhelming majority of recovering addicts that I know lead healthier lifestyles than non-addicts. Oftentimes when people see with clarity how much damage they’ve done to themselves, they desperately want to treat their body better.
This was exactly my first thought. He should be disqualified for many reasons, but that ain’t one of them. Thinking that way is why we have him.
I’ve got nothing against people with former drug problems. I don’t trust him because he’s a doofus.
Did everyone forget he drove around with a dead animal, and dumped it into a park?
No one should listen to this insane lunatics ramblings. But the addiction is a symptom, not the problem. He likely became an addict because he was mentally ill. Or, the addiction (and brain worm, and eating random dead things) made him mentally ill.
Either way, someone with delusions shouldn’t be in charge of anything.
He was doing drugs 30 years ago. He’s a spoilt rich kid
This question really pushes the boundaries of the concept of “no stupid questions”, but I will respect the premise and answer with all seriousness.
There is nothing about being a former anything that is automatically disqualifying.
Not everything he says is without merit. Even a blind, dumb squirrel can accidentally find a nut.
Americans aren’t trusting him. He is only respected by the deluded cult members, and then only because their pedophile leader tells them to.
The people who don’t realize he’s full of shit are the people who can’t handle being the most ignorant person in the room. They’re swallowing all the bullshit that this administration spits out because it’s the only way they can pretend they are better than everyone else.
It’s all just corrupt, diseased minds taking advantage of other corrupt, diseased minds. If they didn’t reject the compassion of their opponents, I’d have sympathy for them. However, they chose the darkness.
A third of the US are beyond help, beyond fucking stupid. Another third can’t be arsed to do anything, they’re so apathetic. One will follow without question, the other might go either way.
Also Shitler put RFK in place, so we’re all forced to hear his moronic opinions…
Some people in that first third aren’t that stupid but they’re gullible and insecure. Maybe also a little stupid. My girlfriend’s dad, for example. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, I think he’s about average intelligence, but he’s gullible and insecure. I think he got sucked in when he started listening to some questionable podcasts.
Why are americans taking health advice from a man who got brain worms from eating roadkill and didnt learn his lesson?
Thats the more appropriate question.
Most of us aren’t.
The ones that are, are already so far down the rabbit hole they wouldn’t recognize reality anyway.
Being a heroin addict does not make you a bad person anymore than having diabetes. Fuck off with that moralistic shit.
The guy is a scourge of humanity because of the choices he made and beliefs he holds. Don’t make it look like heroin is the cause.
No on said heroin makes you a bad person, it sure as hell doesn’t give you credit to give health advice.
Would you take driving lessons from someone who’s never driven a car? Or has crashed every car they’ve owned?
Same idea, who the fuck is this McDonald’s eating fuck to give advice on health?
Not to mention all the dumbass comments he’s made about nearly eradicated diseases like measles, he’s a trumper, so he supports child rape and murdering of civilians who dont lick the boots and bow down to tangerine shitler.
The clickbait title implies the problem is his drug use and not, you know, any of his actual character flaws.
Former?
Americans aren’t. Fascist ignoramuses are. Those are not americans
He might have had the microphone before, but then legions of non-voters granted him THE POWER over their lives!

It’s not a reason to discount someone’s views, is why. Addicts are still people, worthy of respect and dignity. The real reason to discount RFK is that he’s wrong about most topics pertaining to health and he doesn’t respect the science or evidence that contradict his opinions. The problem is that most of the electorate is scientifically illiterate, the end result being an over privileged dunce like RFK deciding how your health care is organised. Can’t put an insurance premium on that. Good luck guys.
People with old, dead, rotten brains recognize his Dad and Uncle’s name. It reminds them vaguely of a time when their own father’s were in charge of all the hard decisions, their joints didn’t hurt and they had an undefined future that could have been wonderful. That future has come though and turns out they are just themselves… they failed, nothing fun they wanted really happened and everything confuses them now. They feel like frauds about to be found out and forgotten at the same time.
So seeing something they think they recognize voting for “a Kennedy” makes them indirectly fell that their own Dad will magically come back to life, tell them he’s proud and then they will be millionaires and attractive people will want to have have sex with them and fix their iPhones.
It’s just that.
…do you not understand this position isn’t even elected? I’m not fucking trusting him.
Even his own family members have said he is in no state of mind or health to be in any position of authority whatsoever.
