The health secretary, appearing before two separate congressional committees, was grilled about slashes to disease research, maternal health and the U.S. measles outbreak.
I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me
Says the guy in charge of the department responsible for medical advice.
This is one of the incredibly rare instances where I agree with something RFK Jr. says, I agree nobody should be taking medical advice from him. Now if he could fucking resign and you know stop giving medical advice that would be great.
One of the requirements for administering any department is being able to tell when it’s doing its job, and for his position that means being able to tell good policies from bad ones.
To be fair, I think it holds true for any head of department of health (or whatever they’re called) - that’s a position that calls for organizational skills and not a medical doctorate. In the same way my project manager doesn’t answer questions about clustered datastorage, that’s what he has people like me for.
However, leading JFKJrs department also calls for common sense and skepticism towards conspiracy theories, two qualities he severely lacks. But at least he’s right in that particular statement.
Yes, that’s pretty much the 2nd half of my comment.
Also, my understanding is that seroconversion kinetics is about how fast your body starts making antibodies, how strong the resp9nse is and how it changes over time.
But…isn’t the point that you need to know at least both? There should be thousands of people in the venn diagram between doctors and managers enough people to become health secretary: senior doctors, senior healthcare managers. Certainly not this dipshit.

No one should take medical advice from him.
One should be able to get good medical advice from anyone in his position.
What’s wrong with this picture?
The Alex Jones defense. “Oh you guys thought I was serious? Lulz seems like that’s kind of on you.”

You give me too much credit. I got curious and started googling, lol.
