Well, the left is positively frothing over President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). And why wouldn't they be? Trump is doubling down on his promise to shake up Washington, this time by nominating someone the establishment loves to loathe. RFK Jr. might as well have brought a flamethrower to the Big Pharma bonfire, and now the outrage machine is in full swing. Kennedy's track record? Controversial, sure-but also laser-focused on issues that matter to everyday Americans: chronic disease, skyrocketing obesity rates, autism, infertility, and the grip of mega-corporations over our food and medicine. Of course, the left brands him as "anti-science" because he dares to question their sacred cow-vaccines-and call out the shady practices of Big Pharma. Let's not forget that these are the same companies that made billions during the pandemic while Americans were stuck at home wiping down their groceries. Kennedy's critics can sneer all they want, but his nomination signals that Trump is serious about draining the swamp, this time in the realm of public health. The drama reached new levels of absurdity when critics trotted out a 12-year-old medical incident involving Kennedy and-wait for it-a brain worm. Yes, you read that right. A parasite in his brain from his environmental work abroad was discovered and removed over a decade ago. Kennedy's recovery was swift, and his campaign is firing back at any insinuation about his health, rightly pointing out that his competition includes Joe Biden, whose gaffes practically require their own highlight reel. Kennedy's critics conveniently overlook his environmental advocacy, his call for cleaner food and water, and his relentless pursuit of transparency in health policy. Instead, they focus on the brainworm story as if it's some kind of disqualifier. Newsflash: he's been in robust health for over a decade, which is more than can be said for the "spring chickens" currently running the Democratic Party. Here's what the left is saying:

Hey so reminder for everyone about RFK Jr - he's a gigantic liar who lied about having a brain worm.

He lied in court and said he had a brain worm to avoid paying alimony to his wife, whom he cheated on repeatedly. He did it to humiliate her, and then she took her own life. - Queerhawk ?????? | ???? | ????? (@alwaysadorecats.bsky.social) November 14, 2024 at 10:56 PM

Yep. Folks better keep some masks and other supplies...just in case.

I saw what the incoming administration did with the last pandemic and that was with more qualified people on the team. Now we're going to have RFK Jr and his brain worm?? [image or embed] - Miss Aja (@brat2381.bsky.social) November 14, 2024 at 12:49 PM

RFK Jr. being the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services...the dude with the worm in his brain? This is stuff you read on The Onion! ??????????????????????????????????????????

And let's talk about Trump for a second. The man is clearly unbothered by the left's predictable outrage. "Go wild," Trump said of Kennedy's future at HHS-and why not? Kennedy's no stranger to ruffling feathers, and his nomination is a clear message that business as usual is over. Trump understands what so many Americans feel: that the system is broken, and it's time to bring in someone willing to take on the industrial food and drug giants that profit while the public suffers.  

MSDNC said that Biden was as sharp as a tac. Imagine thinking "Making Americans healthy" as a right wing talking point. Totally delusional.

Bottom line? The establishment may clutch their pearls over Kennedy, but Trump's pick is exactly what's needed to blow the cobwebs out of Washington's public health bureaucracy. If the left is losing its minds over a brain worm, they're not ready for the reforms coming next. Buckle up, America.
