The person destroying vaccines, clean water, pasteurization, and almost all public health accomplishment in the last century wants you to know it's your fault if you are unhealthy.
RFK Jr: "This administration wants to encourage Americans to take control of their health -- to eat right, to have lifestyle changes that save us all. And that's the patriotic thing to do, not only for our country but for every individual American. It's a patriotic duty to keep ourselves healthy."
