Where did President Donald Trump get his medical degree? Oh, he must have gotten it at the same place as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Oh, wait.

The man running the department meant to protect the health of the American people does not, in fact, have a medical degree. He’s unqualified. He has no idea what he’s talking about. None of them do, but that doesn’t stop them from giving Americans dangerous advice.

When you walk into a doctor’s office, do you want a doctor to look at you, or will you settle for the unqualified random guy in the waiting room? That’s basically what America did. We settled.

This unqualified guy in particular likes to throw around baseless claims, trying to act like he’s a genius. He’s really just trying to overcompensate for something. I’m talking about his lack of a medical degree, of course.

He is a politician and lawyer, not a medical expert. The whole point of the HHS is to protect Americans’ health. This administration is doing the opposite. They are actively putting our health at risk for the sake of political loyalty.

Trump and the HHS have made dangerous claims. The most recent was the claims made about the link between autism and acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol. The link between the two is unfounded, and it lacks sufficient evidence.

Arguably, the most famous study between the two found that “1.42% of children exposed to paracetamol during pregnancy were autistic, compared with 1.33% of children who were not exposed,” per Viktor Ahlqvist, an epidemiologist. He said the difference was “very small.”

If they ignore actual medical data when trying to solve medical issues, where are they getting their conclusions from? They’re more willing to push aside the health of Americans and use contaminated data than admit they’re wrong.

A few of the main things anyone tells you when doing research is to not stick to sources that prove your hypothesis, and if your hypothesis is proven wrong, that’s okay. They’re not sticking to the rules of research because frankly, they don’t care. They’d rather just be right than us be healthy.

To some people, notoriety and a page in the history books are worth more than the health of Americans. There were plenty of other, much more qualified, people for the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

RFK Jr.’s reasoning for being anti-vax stems from already debunked theories. They were debunked by actual medical professionals. Not a man cosplaying as one.

In fact, it was actual doctors who predicted the outbreaks of measles, whooping cough and other diseases in 2024, because of RFK Jr. Yet, we ignore this and put our health in his hands?

Nobody wants to trust “Power hungry, corrupt, Big Pharma” but the moment there’s actual deadly corruption smacking us in the face, everyone’s on the side of the one putting people in danger to cater to a man-child. I’m calling Trump a man-child, if that wasn’t clear.

This isn’t a “shrug your shoulders and move on” moment. Children are sick because Trump thought putting loyalists in important seats would be the way to go. Out of the 1514 cases of measles this year, 92% of the cases were not vaccinated.

You have complete frauds standing in front of Americans, saying stuff like “vaccines are bad.” But, because they’re in a position of power, people are going to believe them. RFK Jr. was given the position because Trump wanted loyalists, not because he was qualified.

A powerful position does not make someone qualified. It’s okay to question authority, especially when they were just handed a position.

It’s not them vs. a conspiracy theory. They aren’t beating “Big Pharma.” It’s not a conspiracy. These are real lives, real deaths and real effects of an ignorant administration. Three children have died from the measles already this year.

Public health experts have been worried about what RFK Jr.’s baseless claims could do to public health. Actual experts are concerned. Unqualified people aren’t.

It’s not because they’re on the side of “Big Pharma,” they’re on the side of science. Science doesn’t have a party and science shouldn’t be political. You should question the people telling you to ignore science for the sake of a partisan goal.
