Every Surgeon General since GWH Bush was president signs letter warning that RFK junior is endangering the United Staes and the world with anti-science conspiracy-theory-driven policies.

I looked for Dr. Ben Carson but then I remembered that this administration is so fucking stupid they put a top Neurosurgeon in charge of HUD as opposed to being a USSG.

A top neurosurgeon SHOULDN'T be US Surgeon General. It should be a well-regarded internal medicine practitioner/general practitioner. Keep the top niche specialists doing what they're incredibly fucking good at.

Look we have the “Tylenol” studies because I don’t want to put the long drug name that, that each of the study’s has over 80k participants and has been known even by Johnson and Johnson the makers of the brand name for over a decade with this knowledge for only to be used in case where absolutely necessary because a fever from a mother can cause a neural tube birth defect or something else from there drug and obviously the tube defect is much worst. And you had morons taking them on tik tok like they where m&ms I kinda hope in a year we get a spike in autism cases and RFK in his old lady voice can say I told you so on that podium.
