President of Protect Our Care issues one-word statement to US health and human services secretary: ‘Resign’

A prominent healthcare advocacy group is calling for the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, to step down from his post after he downplayed Covid risks by saying: “I’m not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.”

Kennedy, who was appointed secretary of the federal health and human services (HHS) department despite his avowed anti-vaccine activism, made that remark on the 12 February episode of Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend.

The president of Protect Our Care, Brad Woodhouse, issued a one-word statement on Kennedy’s comments: “Resign.”

His body is like the Hunger Games of pathogens isn’t it? The brain worms fighting the toilet germs fighting the roadkill parasites.

Beneath the skin suit there's a plethora of pestilence worming around in an attempt to mimic the movements of a human being. The hive doesn't fear germs. It embraces them as brothers and sisters.

A reference to every bodies favourite whatever the fuck it is on my fediverse? I am astonished, and possibly aroused

I've been trying to remember who his voice reminds me of and your comment helped. He reminds me of the bug guy in men in black.

I mean the real reason is they killed the brain worm...

They don't remove those, they kill them and let them rot, just like dogs and heartworm.

So not killing the worm, always it to grow and slowly get worse. Killing the worm stops it growth, but especially in a brain, the body can't really break it down.

It rots killing even more tissues around it quickly, then slowly the body encapsulates it. Way past the point it needs to, to the point it's now bigger than the dead grey matter cavity, and starts pushing up on other parts

The dude's been cooked. And while he might be able to take care of himself with the current level of brain damage, he definitely shouldn't be making high level medical decisions for the entire country

Like, it's a "joke" that they're all idiots, but a lot of people running shit these days aren't just idiots, they have serious mental impairments on top of that
