RFK Jr. promised he would not discourage vaccines or make the shots “difficult” to access during his confirmation hearings for the nation's top health official. Now that the longtime anti-vaccine activist has the job, he’s putting his promise to the test.
That’s a wild characterization of bold faced lies
He lies under oath- he had zero intentions of doing anything he said he would do. Unlike his addled boss- who said what he would do-and is doing that and more.
HE FUCKING LIED. There fixed it for you.
What the fuck is this headline? He fucking lied, people. Just say he fucking lied. Is it really that hard?
Can’t believe a word he says. He lives in a bubble of false conspiracy theories. The man is another threat to all of us!
That’s a fucking weird headline you absolute freaks. This isn’t a game, people’s lives are at risk, and you’re talking about putting things to the test?
He has been lying then and is lying now. Went from a nutcase to a nutcase fascist fast.
Apologies for any ignorance but I get the feeling this guy is absolutely destroying his families name and legacy. Wild times.
I hear there is a new vaccine against being a stupid cunt. Can you test that please? Too late in your case obvs, but but we need some hope for the future.
Makes the name Leather Face a reality.
Liars, to a man (and woman)
Why are you being so polite? He lied. Call it what it is: A big, dangerous f’ing lie.
What an idiotic appointment. Typical of Trump regime
In defense of the brain worm eaten road kill gourmand he only said those things because he is a liar, a liar to his core. A man who lies when the truth would do a man who lies like other breathe, who wouldn't recognize the truth if it was right in front of him. Liar, like the liar that he serves.
I just replaced 8 people who never had a vaccine to supervise your vaccine healthcare, maybe that worm ate more of my brain than I realized.
Anti-Vaccine - is DANGEROUS and IRRESPONSIBLE! Vaccines Protect Me From You-And Protect You From Me! #Vaccination - the Only Way to Achieve - 'Herd' Immunity! GET VACCINATED! VACCINATE YOUR KIDS! Brag About Your Vaccinations! Show Disdain for Anti-Vaxxers! The Whole World Knows Better! 🇺🇸 🌍
Y'all ever gonna stop giving them the benefit of the doubt?
He’s really putting his 12th grade science education to the test
I feel sorry for people so stupid They can’t see that Junior Kennedy has already done the damage more to come. He’s a psychopath.
Is he still meeting weekly with Bill Cassidy?
Let’s track his “deaths” numbers. I’d like to see the total # of people he killed engraved on his headstone.
Who in their right mind actually trusted him? He’s not undermining trust, he’s delivering on his LIE.
'Putting his promise to the test' that's a really fucking stupid way to say he lied. Jesus christ you guys suck.
Anyone that believes anything these miscreants in this administration say,should really reassess their priorities for their journalism and how they should respond to or report on these people.If you reporters continue to believe in face value what any of these fascists fuckers say, find another job!
"Lieing"... it's called "Lieing"
Make America sick again....
Uhhh. He lies. He lied.
This was, and is, the most dangerous government appointment in my lifetime. I'm 74. Children are dying. Children will die. Adults are dying. Adults will die. The entire Republican Senate has blood on its hands.
Yeah, if you outlaw vaccines, then the vaccinated will definitely be tested.
Kids will die.
He lied.
He's not putting anything to the test. He was lying. Everyone knew he was lying. You knew then, and know now, that he was lying. Pretending otherwise is a grave betrayal of your profession as journalists. You sure seem to be betraying your profession a lot.
He lied. They're going to change the vaccination schedule, affecting millions of people's insurance coverage for vaccinations. People who can afford to pay out of pocket will get their kids vaccinated. Thousands of kids whose parents can't afford it will die each year. This is not hyperbole.
He lied about this and should face Semate.
Promises by any member of this administration, like by the boss himself, are simple knowing lies, devoid of regret.
He’s a stone cold liar
He is an idiot. I've had education for a medical laboratory technician, and I know more than he does, Unbelievable! He needs to study just one college course, Immunology & Serology. His position should be filled by at least an MD.
"One needs roots as well as flowers on a plant... However large and beautiful the flowers, if the earthy roots are destroyed there will be no more flowers." Agatha Christie on eugenicists. Taking away vaccines is attempted eugenics, just as surely as putting people in ovens was eugenics.
Can you guys stop padding every fucking headline? No, he isnt "putting it to the test" He fucking lied, and is currently breaking that promise.
He lied. They all lied. They're all self-interested monsters. *angry noises
I'm 70 and disabled, yesterday I was turned away from getting my Covid booster. I was told that they couldn't get through to the powers that be to get it approved. It's happening.
Imagine being his wife and staying quiet and staying married to this trash.
Ignorant asshole Bobby Brainworms should not have anything to do with health care in USA. If the Russians or Chinese wanted to inflict heavy casualties in USA without firing a single shot, all they would have to do is install him as head of HHS.
He lied, of course. And we seem to be letting him get by with it.
Just state what he objectively did: he lied under oath to congress. Stop whitewashing these MAHA and MAGA freaks. You're going to get us all killed.
I'm getting a Covid booster on Monday while it's still legal.
God help America if the world faces another Pandemic. Adding bureaucracy to what is clearly a process that needs a purely medical view will only guaranty that more people will die while medically untrained politicians make health care decisions.
He’s a marble gargling moron. And a disgrace to the Kennedy legacy. Too many old white dudes believing their own crap. It’s dangerous.
Call it what it was, he lied. Simple. Period. Full Stop.
Great now we’re back to drinking bleach again.
Long way of saying he was lying to us the entire time
Like all of them, he lied.
Never. Trust. A. Prick.
ONE THING IS FOR SURE YOU CAN NEVER BELIEVE A PATHOLOGICAL LYING HEROIN ADDICT TO TELL THE TRUTH. ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS ASSHOLE IS TOTALLY UNQUALIFIED & HAS NO BUSINESS IN HIS POSITION. WITH THIS ASSHOLE IN CHARGE AMERICANS WILL DIE.
The BrainWorm is in full control of the Charlatan
He made the vaccine committee a cadre of Waco and antivaxers.
His crazy ass needs to be fired like yesterday
"Put to the test"? You absolute cowards. He's not putting anything to the test, he lied. Two short words, easy to spell.
You mean he lied!
That dude always looks like he woke up in a ditch and someone cleaned him up and put him in a suit.
This headline was written by cowards. No need to ever read the garbage articles put out by GOPolitico
What a surprise! He’s a liar like they all are!
The Brainworm.
He should resign. And Politico should stop carrying water for this rogue regime by pretending this is normal. I suppose that’s not what their owners want though.
Why do we even have confirmation hearings if people are going to lie & just get away with it 🤦♀️….. seems to me that’s a problem 🤨
The point is to make people pay for vaccines so insurance companies don’t have to. There is no science or constructive aspect associated with what this person says or does.
He lied, they all lied.
More lies? Gee, what a surprise.
He fired pretty much everyone who has anything to do with vaccines and preventative medicine and disease tracking so they have no idea how that measles breakout is going since state to state CDCs now have to share their own work independently with each bordering state.
omg someone lied to the Senate under oath
Does politico just read old news clips from the 2000s and practice this shitty writing before they come out into public, or are you just that bad your jobs? Do better
More MAGA lies. Color me shocked. Did anyone check on Susan Collin's concern level?
Please stop calling him anti-vax, he is anti, preventative medicine. He is anti-modern medicine. Anti-vax” hides what it actually is.
Ignorant twat.
' putting to the test ' no HE LIED
Liar gonna lie.....but will he resign?! Course not - POS!
This is not a binary situation. Conflicts of interest are ubiquitous in the revolving door between Big Pharma and federal regulators. Compared to other developed nations, our COVID policy was disastrous — we suffered the highest mortality rate in the world.
A Cleveland Clinic preprint suggests that people who were vaccinated for Flu last season were 27% MORE likely to get flu, not less. People don’t trust our government regulators for very good reason. We can tell when basic facts don’t add up.
Fuck you politico. He already broke promises. You fascist enablers are reporting like it's two months ago.
War on Americans

Don't forget he also said this, I'm on the look for that great day bbc.com/news/article...
republicuns knew he is criminally insane and the fat felon forced them to install him. They don't care about us.
Many of us said that RFK Jr's promise was always a lie. But #politico and others continue to mislead readers most of whom don't remember iron lungs and the children who lived in them or mass measles infections. And RFK Jr is not an 'anti-vax activist' but a profiteering deadly conspiracy theorist
He’s not putting his promise to the test. He lied, so if we want to refer to promises, he broke his promise. In other words, say it with me, he lied.
He lied.
He lied. Under oath. Why can’t you just state that fact?
Being a liar is the main job requirement for Trump sycophants
Several countries are beginning to complete trials on a lung cancer vaccine. I wonder if he'll stop that here in the US.
You mean “He lied under oath to get past confirmation. Now he seeks to eliminate vaccines.” You are complicit with this headline.
Politico bending over backwards to say anything other than "lied"
No one should be surprised. They want to reduce the surplus population by removing the immigrants (legal or not), killing off the old and infirm ( cutting Medicare and Medicaid) and keeping vaccines and life preserving health care for the wealthy. The middle class becomes working poor; the poor die.
"no no babe, I'm not lying, I'm just 'putting my promise to the test!' "
I remember when I respected Politico. Not a shred of journalistic integrity in sight
Liars, all of them.
I can't listen to his voice without feeling sick in my throat! Bläää!!!
Do something important like contact the GOP that voted this liar in. I contacted Sen Cassidy today, asked him how he felt about his vote now. I don’t expect a reply, don’t care either.
go.bsky.app/QvrhygU
RFK Jr.'s beliefs are not evidence based, and no amount of high-quality scientific evidence will change his position. His actions will kill.
We need the Gray Panthers again
No- he lied This isn't journalism. Anyone who contributed to this drivel is a MAGA clown dipshit
Freakish behavior from another Trump administration freak.
Putting his promise to the test? You can just say he lied.
I don't suppose it is too much for a black hole to develop over DC and suck all them up never to be seen again?
There’s needs to be a class action lawsuit against this madman…
Putting that promise to the test? More wet noodle bullshit from the Nazi owned rag. He broke his promise, he's a liar and is dangerous. Stop fucking normalizing such garbage
😮👎
I think the words you’re reaching for are “he lied.”
LYING LIAR LIED: Film at eleven!
This gangster regime says anything to get their way. Who is really surprised he lied? Seriously he’s an X junkie who sounds like he’s knocking on deaths door. Karma get to work
Again, the working poor are the intended victims of this new change. It’s another thing to weigh when they are paying the rent, utilities, car, car insurance, school loans, shoes, clothes, and FOOD!! Can they afford to keep their family healthy? Bastardo
Yada, yada, yada... He lied.
Just say he lied
"He lied repeatedly and has broken his promise." You can just say that! It's really easy! And as a bonus, it's true! I heard that was encouraged in your line of work!
never trust a lawyer
Can you write a more passive summary for an aggressive and life endangering action based on lies? Seriously, do better, write facts and truth, not bullshit...he is going to kill people with his stupidity...
Anyone who believed what he said needs their bank account(s) examined, forensically. All of these unqualified appointments had to have been payoffs. There is no other logical conclusion outside of the Heritage Foundation trying to fully break government.
This is about putting children’s vaccine status in the hands of their employers; the US has never stopped being a slavers nation.
He is a monster who WILL kill children.
Moron
This guy is a real moron
None of this is normal
He’s a damn liar, just like the rest of them.
He lied.
He s alive today because of vaccines that dumb fuck !
The second paragraph should simply have been, “He lied.”
More lazy bullshit writing. He lied. Say he fucking lied quit fucking sugarcoat and everything.
What the actual fuck. He isn't "putting them to the test", he is going back on his word. Report the truth!
They lie. All. The. Time.
There are zero consequences for lying during the confirmation process.
Putting it to the test? He is responsible and accountable for what he said, and now what he’s doing.
Like most members of Mr. Trump's second maladministration, RFKJr wants us all to die.
Mental midget
You lied under oath and never had any intention of doing anything but eliminating vaccines as much as possible
Pathological liar
Why is there a picture of a shaved scrotum attached to this headline?
Kennedy is a liar and numpty
Oh yea! We believe everything they say!!
I will still pay whatever to receive those shots.
I don’t follow orders from brain worms.
Why don’t you just say “he lied?” He lied.
youtube.com/shorts/bx-6p...
I heard he was an anti-vaxer, because its the only way he can stay away from needles. Im just say'in.
I'd beleive he was a heroine addict, before I beleived that.
"Putting promise to the test?" He lied, he's backtracking, he's doing the opposite of what he promised. Lots of ways to say what he's doing more clearly.
You must be f****** joking me with that
