Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services? Oh, the horror! If you listen to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and former Obama official Kavita Patel, you’d think President-elect Donald Trump just announced he was handing out cigars in a dynamite factory. The pearl-clutching was almost audible as they dissected Kennedy’s nomination like it was a national emergency, not a cabinet pick.
Patel couldn’t hide her disdain, recounting the “off the chain” texts she was receiving from both Democrats and Republicans. “This can’t be real,” they exclaimed, as if Kennedy were the boogeyman instead of a Kennedy—a family liberals have historically idolized. It’s ironic, isn’t it? The left usually embraces Kennedys as political royalty, but suddenly RFK Jr. is the proverbial skunk at the garden party because he dares to challenge their sacred cows.
Wallace and Patel then shifted into full-blown panic mode, predicting a mass exodus of career bureaucrats from HHS. Honestly, that sounds less like a problem and more like an opportunity. The so-called “best of the best” career staff haven’t exactly earned gold stars in recent years. Baby formula shortages, bungled COVID messaging, and questionable ties to Big Pharma haven’t exactly inspired confidence in these government institutions. Maybe it’s time for a shake-up.

The real fireworks, though, came when Patel and Wallace zeroed in on RFK Jr.’s vaccine skepticism. Yes, Kennedy has questioned vaccine safety and the cozy relationship between regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies. And sure, his views have landed him in hot water with social media giants eager to play thought police. But let’s not pretend the scientific community is infallible or beyond scrutiny. COVID taught us one thing: “The Science” isn’t a monolith, and questioning consensus isn’t a crime—it’s critical thinking.

They’re so fake:

Then came the dire warnings about diseases like polio and measles making a comeback. Wallace and Patel implied Kennedy’s nomination would single-handedly erase decades of progress in public health. Let’s pump the brakes. The suggestion that one cabinet secretary could undo the entire nation’s vaccination infrastructure is, frankly, absurd. The hyperbole here is as thick as a D.C. swamp fog.
It wasn’t so long ago…
RFK Jr. Was a star to the Hollywood left (especially the anti-vax Hollywood left, a demo we haven’t talked much about over the past 4 years), and appeared regularly on MSNBC and The Daily Show.

What’s really at play is fear—fear of someone willing to challenge the status quo in a department that oversees everything from drug approvals to pandemic preparedness. Whether or not RFK Jr. is the right person for the job, the hysteria from the left shows just how protective they’ve become of their bureaucratic fiefdoms. Maybe it’s time for some fresh air in the halls of HHS. Who knows? It might even do some good.
Here’s more fear-mongering from the left. What else is new?
