USA. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is to head the Ministry of Health. He talks about the “mass poisoning of Americans”

Nominated by Donald Trump for Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, among other things, that government agencies USAregulating the drug and food markets, “have an interest in mass poisoning of Americans”, and frequent shootings are linked to antidepressants – the Washington Post reported on Friday.

Kennedy is a known opponent of vaccines and a supporter of many conspiracy theories. In 2015, he compared the vaccination program to the Holocaust, and after the outbreak of the pandemic coronavirus claimed that the COVID-19 vaccination is “the deadliest vaccine ever produced.”

His theory about the connection between mass shootings and the use of antidepressants is popularized by such far-right figures as former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson and congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Kennedy has repeatedly claimed that chemicals used to treat water cause problems with “child sexual identification, sexual confusion and gender confusion,” CNN reported.

Kennedy maintained that the high mortality rate in the US among people infected with the coronavirus was a result of the authorities' decision not to allow therapy with ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine – drugs used to treat malaria and diseases caused by parasites. These preparations are not effective in the treatment of COVID-19, although such theories were promoted by right-wing media in the US – explained “WP”.

Another bizarre thesis proclaimed by Kennedy is the “ethnic targeting” of the coronavirus, which is supposedly programmed to spare the Chinese and Ashkenazi Jews, and especially maliciously attack white and black people.

The future Secretary of Health also claims that the 5G network is used to “control the behavior” of people and steal their data.
