    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.

      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.”

      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.
