From raw milk and fluoride to false vaccine claims, Kennedy poor health choice | Letters

Robert F. Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave along with the embarrassment his son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has brought to the Kennedy family. RFK Jr. has been selected by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

A defunct politician and a political party flip-flopper, Kennedy is a conspiracy theorist from the word go. A few of his positions include: false claims on safety and efficacy of vaccines; taking fluoride out of drinking water; consuming raw milk. 

His advocating for raw milk instead of pasteurized milk is deeply troubling. The farm he gets his raw milk from, Raw Farm in California, recently had a recall for their raw milk being contaminated with bird flu, just one of the many illnesses one can get from drinking raw milk. To quote Trump, “I will let him go wild on health, food, and medicine.”

Is there anything here to look forward to? You be the judge.
