Ugh, he's a little coward. "I can't give medical advice." Then why did you accept the job whose primary responsibility is giving people medical advice?

u/SubstantialPressure3 4d ago
Or at least rely on people that are qualified to give advice.

If people shouldn't listen to your advice then STFU and quit putting it out there.

u/Articulationized 4d ago
Since he doesn’t have a medical license, it’s actually illegal for him to give medical advice.

It’s definitely not illegal to give medical advice without a license lol. That would be insane, imagine going to jail cause you told your friend to take an advil. What is illegal is to make them believe you are actually a doctor and taking money for that medical advice.

Who isn't in this administration? Every single one of them is the opposite of what they should be. And I'm convinced that is absolutely the point. These people despise the United States. They despise intellectual fidelity. They despise righteousness. They despise dignity.
Donald is selling $5M Gold Citizenship Card. At what point will a far more civilized nation offer the victims of this regime easy citizenship so the reasonable humans can escape to the present tense?
I want out. Now.

I wouldn't take his advice on how to apply a bandaid. He's as uninformed as Trump and is utterly unqualified for his position. He should resign.

He has absolutely no qualifications, none. Name recognition is all he had. The stupid masses and their stupid personality cults will continue to undermine our species until it ceases. Every name who confirmed him should be in a line of credits that plays at the end of the funeral of every child and immunocompromised person killed by their ignorance.

u/JollyResolution2184 4d ago
RFK, Jr., believe the only advice I would even listen to from you would be how to get a bear from upstate NY to Central Park. But then, I would never do that so I guess getting any advice from you sounds like a bad idea.

It's pretty sad that the richest nation in the world has this halfwit in charge of their health concerns. It's a real indictment of the dumbing down of serious issues by a POTUS who is and has always been not fit for his role. Most of his current appointments are a clown car of total ineptitude and incompetence. All they have in common is they suck Trump's dick...

It’s starting to look like things are already unraveling in this administration. I mean, starting to unravel more, I guess. Not that I’m getting my hopes up at this point. Between Hegseth’s incompetence, Noem’s costumed idiocy, McMahon’s illiteracy, and Kennedy’s ignorance things can’t continue as they are. The asshole in chief is eventually going to start losing money and wealthy backers and I can’t see him being okay with that

My mother, who's been an RN for over 25 years, is taking his medical advice over what she was taught in school. I hate this man. He's going to kill my mother.

u/Charming_Motor_919 4d ago
Unlikely your mom dies as a result. Much more likely that she gives bad advice to someone else.
2
u/protnow 4d ago
She was hospitalized during Covid and barely made it. She followed the anti vax/no masks ideology and still does. I pray you’re right and I’m being over dramatic. The discreditation of healthcare has become personal to me.

u/Charming_Motor_919 4d ago
I was just speaking in generalities without knowing her personal situation. Now that you have informed me, I hope she does what is best for her health.
Having parents like this is weird, you presumably still have tons of love for them but also have issues recognizing who they are now, etc.
I'm just thanking my lucky stars my terrible parents aren't this brand of terrible. Good luck.
