Nin Com Poop Ery

 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is our new Health Secretary. (For my British friends, like a change in government in your country, our new President staffs his cabinet. Unlike in your country, however, they are never legislative (Parliament) members.)

Anywho, RFK Jr. is a renowned anti-vaxxer. He subscribes to refuted theories and disapproves of all vaccines, even going so far as to question if the Polio vaccine was a good idea. He is nuts.

But at least the best thinking could go; he is a nut with a sense of dedication to what he believes in, whatever the cost. And the cost for him was high, one thought. He quit his legal practices to devote himself full-time to this nutty cause. He could afford to do that because he has a family fortune and his wife is a well-paid actress.


Of course, it turns out that was a lie. Despite his public insistence that he works for his non-profit for free, he just "adjusted" his earned income to state that he made a little money from it. In reality, he pocketed $2.2 million in wages for a non-profit that lost $3 million last year.

Oh, the woes of the powerful.
