RFK Jr. wants to Make America Healthy Again. But he's ignoring the country's leading cause of preventable deaths: smoking.
To be fair, he is a hypocrite. The grifting doesn't pay too bad either.
Ah yes, the person gutting funding for cancer and other diseases while firing experts that would have saved lives truly wants to make America healthy and it is not all a grift borne of massive conflicts of interest. Thank you Politico, for ensuring that nobody questions his politicized sloganeering.
You absolutely fucking hacks.
He sounds like he’s been smoking a pack a day since he started disappointing his father
people.com/rfk-jr-specu...
Why would you say he wants to MAHA? Got any proof? I sure as shit don't see any.
And guns
He would never go against a big money operation like the tobacco industry.
RFK Jr is our deadly enemy. END OF STORY.
The man looks so ugly and so unhealthy. He knows nothing about good health
If you followed Kennedy’s own way of thinking, that would mean that he is being paid by the tobacco industry. That’s how he deals with scientists and research topics he doesn’t like.
His entire approach is flawed. He's not a medical doctor yet he believes he has the relevant knowledge & experience gained through his activism. He's fired highly experienced doctors & researchers; canceled relevant research; believes & pushes conspiracy theories;slashed the budgets of his agencies.
He actively believes that germ theory is not real. It's the equivalent of what Lysenko did in the Soviet Union, he's downgrading every single bit of science that contradicts his belief pseudoscience.
It's just another reason to add to the already long list of how unqualified he is.
New leading cause of death is coming. Stupidity.
You don’t want to make your country healthy again when you fabric and falsify scientific research and by putting the citizens in harm’s way.
Is RFKJr even alive? He looks like a walking animated cadaver.
he sounds and looks like a stubbed out cigar butt.
That's "healthy" for you...
I'm sure the worm that's piloting him is *very* alive.
He does NOT want to make the nation healthy again. He wants to punish poor people and auck people for being poor and sick
Guns and cigarettes. Money,lobbying, and greed made them: legal, fetishized, accessible and virtually unregulated on the federal level.
RFK Jr is almost as smart as his boss!!!!
While he pops a zyn
Who are you kidding? He’s ignoring everything about anything having to do with health. He’s the walking, talking embodiment of disease.
So he lied when he said during “confirmation” hearings that he would not cut panels
Because he can't see anything with his nose shoved up tacos ass
Sugar...salt... guns
He just wants to make America healthy again by removing guardrails so we can be exposed to more diseases That way, our bodies can boost our immune systems as we're bombarded by preventable diseases and viruses *This is sarcasm for those who can't tell*
Fat bonus from tobacco companies?
Tobacco $ in his pockets. He’s a stain on his father’s name. And a danger to us all!
He sure looks healthy?! He’s the guy who’s gonna make America healthy, worm brain and all? America’s fukked!
The man chews Skoal and apparently also drinks bleach (!?!) — So…
“Everything I learn about this man is completely against my will.” -a prophetic TikTokker
He’s a grifter who wants people to abandon proven science and embrace the snake oil products and supplements he profits from. The end.
My vaping is banned for sale in my state so I have to drive 3hrs outta state to get my product and I’ll keep doing it bc I don’t wanna live I’m trying to unalive myself faster and that’s the best way to go about doing it. Theres honestly nothing good to keep on keeping in this shitty country.
That is not the face of a healthy man.
Jr. looks totally overwhelmed... like his brain went TILT!
The hell he does. He's killing people.
Tobacco has contributed to the deaths of a 100 million people in the 20th century. Cannabis, I think we're at two.
Let's be honest, Trump and Co want to roll everything back to the 1950s, despite all we've learned since then. Let's die from smoking and polio. Let's bring back acid rain and rivers that catch on fire. You dumb fucking cunts! And Politico, you need to step the fuck up.
The guy has no idea what he's doing.
Well that's assuming he actually cares about making America healthy. He doesn't, because this is just a big grift to him.
Accurate reporting is critical. The fact is that RFK SAYS he wants to make America Healthy again — that doesn’t make it true. His actions suggest the opposite. The media should never pretend to know what someone “wants” or “thinks”.
This is what happens when you put idiots in charge of major departments,RJK Junior is exactly that junior,his policies are like someone just out of high school, then again Trump's entire cabinet is no better,in some cases worse. Like I said before,surrounded yourself with fools then you become one.
Vaping can be an excellent way to stop smoking. It is easier to stop vaping than to stop smoking.
The leading cause of preventable deaths is RFK Jr.
We all need to stop and recognize if this guy wasn't a millionaire named Kennedy, he would be receiving regular psychiatric intervention and have his own case worker assigned to him.
How long before it comes out that all Trump minions are Russian agents? Hegseth just cut the defense aid to Ukraine
Just another of the unqualified Trump administration flunkies. All of them are in the positions because the kiss A and our Republican Congress are doing the same.
Bobby Brain Worn... has a plan: Killing the weakest... bsky.app/profile/ogre...
He is like Mengele. He disregards human life.
Let me guess- he’s a smoker. Or maybe his wife is a smoker.
Is he a smoker? His leather skin sure looks like it
I thought it was guns......
He does not want to make America healthy again. What the fuck are you even thinking with saying that?
There’s nothing else I can say about this guy. It’s all been said. He doesn’t deserve to draw air.
I am baffled that he is so hyper focused on vaccines… I mean, isn’t it much more likely that all the radiation we emitted during all those nuclear tests is causing health issues? We literally bombed the western US in the 30s/40s.
From the guy who sounds like he eats 12 packs of cigarettes for breakfast.
Interesting
He wants to destroy healthcare and medicine as we have known it. That has nothing to do with making America healthy. It has to do with making America Trumpistan.
Duh, assholes, he clearly doesn’t want to make American healthy then, does he? He’s going to cut vaccines - he wants death.
He looks like he has one foot in the grave himself.
lol yeah he must be taking his own medicine.
Well, he does swim in raw sewerage.
*sewage.
I know he looks like shit he seems infested with disease himself bsky.app/profile/riz4...
He looks like the ugliest man alive.
I'm pro smoking for MAGAs when they lose their healthcare. The Republican healthcare "plan" has always been to "DIE QUICKLY"
Any article that doesn’t lead with him being a stupid fucking cunt should be ignored
And guns?
Not an issue compared to smoking or obesitas
Impeach him.
Lmao imagine being a journalist who thinks smoking is a bigger public health issue than obesity or ASD.
You could see this headline coming from the moment you heard this guy grifted his way in the WH door.
Fuck off, you asswipe
he doesnt want to make america healthy again
"RFK Jr. wants to Make America Healthy Again." No he does not. It is a eugenics numbers game designed to kill more POC than the collateral deaths to their own ranks. Nobody's fooled. It will. We all know damn well it will have a disparate impact. POLITICO IS NOTHING BUT FASCIST COLLABORATOR TRASH.
Jesus Christ, politico. He just dismantled the vaccination advisory board. When the next plague wipes out half the country no one will be able to get cigarettes, much less GAF about getting cancer from them. Oh yeah, he defunded cancer research, too. So there’s that. Read the gd room already.
And guns!
You will make hospitals over crowded with sick people and the vulnerable will suffer. That's on you RFK
He looks like he missed some vaccines. Is he okay? What's going on with his face?
Gigantic head, wasted brain.
he looks and sounds like a 3 pack a day smokers lung
Dude also sounds like he personally has smoked 30% of the US' total cigarette output since 1970.
He could care less about American health.
He is also not talking about the impact of prenatal alcohol exposure and alcohol consumption as a whole. FASD caused by prenatal alcohol exposure is a lifelong developmental disability. A significant number of those impacted will interact with the justice system at some point.
They are tearing down years of medical research and having it rebuilt by a retard (I hate using that term but it's appropriate).
I'm guessing he is a heavy smoker himself?
He will be the leading cause of preventable deaths. Watch.
What is pitiful and pathetic is what no one will talk about: this sad man had one of the most beloved men as his father, & his uncle was absolutely adored to the point that his innate goodness inspired the whole world in 'Camelot'. This man needs help and shouldn't be in a position of leadership.
That ghoul has no soul
Thursday, May 22, 2025: 1. #Trump Applauds A Bill-That Takes Food Out Of The Mouths Of Children. 2. #RFKJr Releases A Report-That Takes Vaccines Away From Children. 3. #Melania Trump Touts Her #BEBEST Children Support Initiative. You CAN'T Make This Up! For the Sake of #USA! #VOTE U.S. BACK! 🇺🇸🗽
No wonder I don't follow this garbage feed
Led by clowns, we become them
👀, He literally sounds like a poster boy for Big Tobacco
No he does not. His actions say he is hoping to kill off as many Americans as possible.
Boy, wait until you hear about this vaccine thing…
He’d probably like it a lot better if we did the snow instead of being the snowflakes. 😏
Because he's a fucking moron who knows nothing.... exactly nothing....about science, nutrition, or health.
Why do health professionals do what he tells them to, then? They're sworn not to harm.
He’s a clueless Jack ass.
Their pushing nicotine as a "health supplement" and a "cure for Parkinson's (people who smoke are less likely to get it)....I'm sure the REAL reason is all that sweet, tobacco MONEY.
they're DAMMIT!!!!!
This is a super old study (1991) but I've read various outlier reports that RFK is going to be praising nicotine benefits...and I could see him using something like this. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1859921/
Conspiracy theorists aren’t interested in boring old scientifically proven causation. Where’s the thrill in believing something that the whole world believes?
The job he was hired to do eliminate the old and the weak. Isn’t obvious by now?
How can you make Americans healthy if you’re unwilling to take on the air and water polluters?
Smok weed better
What he says and what he does are two wildly different things....
His advice goes against "Make America Healthy Again". Every generation has "woken" up to how current food trends have caused illness and disease. It's big business who put profit before nutritional value. Chemicals, dyes, salt and fat are used to make food taste more enticing not more nutritious.
You forgot su-gar!
😡
Well that tracks!
Hello, gun deaths?
Mr. worm food has heroin lizard skin
RFK is such a liability to public health. The US will never be the same after his term’s ended… and it’s not in the good sense.
Why would anyone write this garbage? His whole purpose is to sew distrust in what should be the most trusted institution, health sciences and research. Fuck RFK jr
Sow*
I fully expect him to reverse tje mo-smoking campaign. He seems set on reversing every single healthy campaign in this country. just wait to see if tobacco company execs visit taco-laro.
No doubt he feels that smoking is a personal choice, like the choice to not get shots to prevent easily-prevented illnesses, or even the choice to take a dip in the sewer, with the kids....
I have been tobacco free for 15 years. And I cant stress enough to people how bad smoking is for them. It would be nice if rfk jr (DJ Brainworm) would pass that along. However, I would guess that big tobacco probably has been filling his (and thousands more) pockets to look the other way.
Not to throw mud in the pen, obesity is about to take position one in the U.S. for preventable deaths. Most are saying it will reach that mark this year.
wants to Make Americans Die Again
He does not want to make America healthy. He wants to cause deaths.
He wants to supplements and make it so people believe they are backed by 'real' science.
So he’s about capitalism - makes sense.
It is beyond capitalism at this point. To replace real science with pseudo science in order to get people's money and, in return, keep them sick is vile.
Rufus ram gotta go he and the Republican Party is the sickness in this country.
Nope
Well, he is a smoking turd...
And apparently he is a cheek pouch oral tobacco user.
Hey Politico: Measles: not healthy. Polio: not healthy. COVID-19: not healthy. Bird Flu: not healthy. Cancer: not healthy. Salmonella: not healthy. E-Coli: not healthy… Politico writers: Y’all should be ashamed of where you are.
He is not properly educated and his ignorance, combined with his conspiracy theories mentality will mean that there will be unnecessary loss of life.
And guns.
ALCOHOL! Kills families Kills innocent bystanders Kills you on the Back roads Kills you on the Highways Kills you in your neighborhood When will people admit ALCOHOL is a leading KILLER? But Hell We can't complain Too much money involved So bury your kids quietly...
As well as embracing a leading cause of preventable deaths, stupidity.
How much stock does he own in tobacco companies?
Their MAHA report listed a lot of medical interventions they thought were unnecessary but skipped the one that almost every developed country doesn’t do: circumcision. It’s way past time we end this bad cultural tradition pretending to be healthcare, it’s damaging and it’s sick to force on a child
He is NUTS RFK,Jr has a WORM FOR A BRAIN
ITS BECAUSE OTHERWISE HE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO SMOKE A COMICALLY LARGE CIGAR!!! 🚬🚬🚬
if your a real Alpha male smoking isn’t going to hurt you, your too manly for Cancer, it will be too scared of your Testosterone levels to grow. smoke’m if you got ‘em
This guy doesn't know wtf he's talking about and obviously neither does Politico. Making America healthy doesn't mean firing all scientists!
You forgot to mention that he's an untreated drug addict who doesn't know not to swim in sewage and does whack job things like saw the heads off of giant animals and put live animals into a blender. Why in the hell are you pretending that anything he says or does is even remotely normal.
He’s a fucking junky
It’s gun violence that are killing our youth.
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
And. HEROIN
I’m surprised he hasn’t come out in favor of smoking.
He’s got to make everyone sick. Then miraculously save us.
Not drug?
Which right there tells you he’s full of BS and has no intention of making America healthy.
I think it’s because smoking is the most reliable way to ensure the working class dies before retirement age. Capital can’t have that expense now can they?

It fits in perfectly with his agenda of promoting disease as a means of committing genocide.
Kennedys and Hines are you happy with this idiot stupid ass and dumbass
Ok. So worried about Peaceful Protests this weekend and wrote a little feel good song for myself. Please share. Please feel free to use any of my protest songs. My daughter immediately spotted my naughtiness. Call it stress. youtu.be/HSvQT-tkiBw?...
A cutie ☺️ the cereal was fine American’s mental health mostly nope some days
He is also now going to kill children by withholding vaccines or making them too expensive for most parents. ( check the current measles outbreak) Follow the trail in getting rid of 17 in his department today. Guess he and the Christian Nationalists forgot what Christ said about harming children😡
Smoking drinking being an asshole
That’s the least of our worries… without vaccines, we will be decimated by viral illness before anything smoking will do to us. Get ready for your greatest fears from disease.
He couldn't give a rat's ass for patient well being. He was put into that position to kill "useless eaters".
Establishment elite Mr. Kennedy does not want to make America healthy again, although maybe he uses that marketing campaign, I have no idea. He wants to trade US citizens' health for political and economic power for himself and his cronies in the conservative, Republican movement.
Good point. I hadn’t considered that. I quit smoking ten years ago and feel wonderful now. I can breathe again.
Ten years tobacco free, me!
How do you feel now?
Great not being a voluntary prisoner of tobacco and nicotine anymore after too many years.
Gun control you conservative assholes. Leading cause of death amongst children. Children for fucks sake.
RFK Jnr looks like a discarded cookie left on the freeway for a couple of months.
I bet you loved him when he was a Democrat
I never heard of the guy until he started with the anti-vax shit. So, ah, no.
You would lose that bet. How long was he Democrat? He was never one until he ran for office last year. He wasn't popular at all.
I respect all Democrats who act honorably in the service of our country; if they turn sour like RFK Jnr, they've earned my disdain. He barely lasted his very short tenure in the DNC.
I can understand why you think that. However we have a long history from when RFKjr blocked an air pollution control project in Germantown NY, causing job losses and eventual plant closure.
And then shat out by a mangy dog.
Why would anyone listen to him. A former heroin addict who eats roadkill, swims in a sewer infected creek and is on steroids. So many of his conditions affect the brain it’s wonder he can string it sentence together.
No, he wants to increase illness and death in pursuit of his eugenicist wet dreams. "Make America Healthy Again" means get rid of the unhealthy.
That's because he's a smoker.
Don’t forget the family fortune made with alcohol legally and illegally
Do you think that might be because (A) he's dumb, and doesn't understand statistics or (B) he's a grifter, and doesn't care about actually reducing harms, or (C) both?
Deport fat folks.
He looks like a rejected Frank Miller sketch.

Now that you mention it, he actually looks like #KenWind if he'd had more time to let the #Beast eat his brain. (And #Wind was clearly made to look like #JFK anyway.) #Elektra probably wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot bo.
Hopefully she’d serve him up in a red mist.
No he doesn’t want to make people healthy again. He wants to explore every crackpot theory he can find.
I haven't heard him come out against Heroin yet...
He's a moron an idiot. America is ruled by these people now. Listen to this speech. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT7R...
I'm not taking any advice from a lunatic with herky jerky head movements, talks like a demented old pirate and has WORMS in his so called brain. I've never seen so much ignorance in my life.
😂😂👍
Does RFK Jr smoke cigarettes? I have heard of heroin addicts who can beat heroin but not nicotine.
Nicotine is more difficult to quit than heroin. BTW met him in the 70s and he was really cute. That sh** didn’t last long.
Nicotine was my deepest addiction and death in the first few days would have been preferable. 8 Jan 98 was my last one. So glad I did.
I hated my father smoking and swore to never smoke when I was young. I started in 1975, while going through Army basic training and quit for the last time in 1988. If I feel the urge to smoke I allow a few puffs on a good Cuban cigar from Canada. Haven’t smoked a cigarette since.
I quit in 1990.
I quit in 1990 as well and am so glad I did.
It was worth the effort but I still think I could get hooked again after one puff.
I would too. I still like the smell when people light up.
I like your new avi! Looking good.
Hey thanks! Alright for 64 no fillers 🙂
I never thought I could give it up, I surprised everyone! Good for us Lynn 🥰
💞
Imagine the money we’ve saved? They are frikken expensive.
I don’t even know what they cost now. My friend quit last year and I can smell that he has started up again. I’m not saying anything.
People can 'slip' multiple times before they finally quit. Quitting smoking has been proven to be more difficult than quitting heroin. In Europe they have hospital programs dedicated to helping people quit. They are kept in hospital and given IV drugs to smooth the symptoms and some 1of2
Are given a treatment that completely clears all nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes out of the body so physical withdrawal is complete. Then they start treating the mental side of addiction. This is all paid for and workers given paid time off to get clean and stay that way.
My son was just here from London. 35 bucks for 20, JFC. Weed is cheaper.
ten years ago they were $50 a pack round here. Two dollars per cigarette.
Where is that? What do they cost now?
Australia. No idea how much they cost now
I was curious so I did a search. In September 2024 they were $40-50 a pack. But that’s only a pack of 20. I think 🇨🇦 has 25 in a pack. 🇦🇺 has some of the highest tobacco prices in the world!
I know when I was in Australia last September my gf went to 7 Eleven and paid 45$ for 20. My sister buys hers under the counter for 25$ but no name level coughing nails.
They used to be 25 in a pack. They obviously got shrinkflated
My grandmother, at ~40, quit a pretty heavy ~25y habit cold turkey without many problems bc her arm went completely numb and she lost a lot of function in it. It scared the shit out of her, and thank God anti-smoking programs were being taught in schools. My mom convinced her it was the cigarettes.
She lived to 90!
Seems to be an individual thing. Both my parents quit with no problem when they were around 40. My sister can't quit even after battling cancer.
He also DOESN'T want to make America healthy. That's a lie. He simply wants to gut vaccine access, scale back access to medical care at large, make it easier for con artists to sell snake oil cures (which he has deeeep financial ties to), and attack LGBTQ folks, women wanting bodily autonomy, etc.
He gutted his own family’s NIH programs name after Eunice Shriver. The family has Alzheimer’s. RFK jr is sicko
This just goes along with my belief that this is all to kill most of us that they consider a drain on society. Smoking is still the leading cause of preventable death? Wow, I wouldn't have guessed that.
It's also disproportionately common in marginalized groups. Helps people deal with the stress of oppression.
Very true. And so very sad.
RFK jr actions says he doesn’t give as stuff about the health of USA citizens
Talks big, does the weird. Should be limiting how much added sugar/hfcs and sodium are added to processed food.
How? Is he going to leave America?
There are a lot of vices that junior will not be talking about. How about all the added sugar in our foods ? Diabetes prevention will not addressed. Why ? trump's backers make big money from selling their poison to the public. The same applies to tobacco. Junior is a medi-quack fraud.
(Gasp) almost like he’s a hypocritical grifter!! Christ, we know, they know, they know we know. Can we get to the part where we depose these psychos and lock them up for the rest of their lives.
Just stop voting them in.
When your choice is between shit and shit lite it’s not much of a choice, especially when most people are too philosophically dead to even vote for harm reduction Democracy is not a perfect system, as Churchill said, so sometimes things can’t be left to the whim of disinterested, uneducated masses
It's not really democracy when only billionaires can be President. It's plutocracy.
RFK’s Children’s Health Defense is his multi-million dollar empire manufacturing vaccine distrust. Children's Health Defense, raked in over $16 million in 2021 alone, money made by terrifying parents, undermining public health, and selling false solutions. open.substack.com/pub/immunolo...
Worms gonna worm
RFK is nothing but a dipshit. He had to kiss Trump's ass to get where he is now. A Kennedy gone wrong.
He didn't mention smoking because he had other things on his mind...like getting rid of 17 vaccine specialists. Thanks, Cassidy.
What about guns!
He's also ignoring autistic vaccine deniers.
He's also ignoring science.
he doesnt want the US to be healthy. Holy shit stop saying he does
I’ll rely on my doctor for my health advice, not some worm ridden freak. What a fucking joke. We are in trouble.
