If confirmed by the Senate, Robert Kennedy will take charge of HHS, which controls the FDA, CDC, and NIH. If not confirmed by the Senate, he can still be appointed by the President under the Recess Appointments Clause in Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution.
The following crises were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, on July 26, 2000. The government has yet to take steps to address them.
The author was Dr. Barbara Starfield, a widely respected public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Her review, “Is US Health Really the Best in the World?” revealed that, every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people, and severely maims many more.
The breakdown 24 years ago has only become worse. At that time, the FDA approved drugs which killed 106,000 people, and mistreatment and errors in hospitals killed 119,000 people. Priorities for reform:
ONE: The FDA has been routinely approving medicines as safe, when they actually kill people.
TWO: Prestigious medical journals routinely publish glowing studies of medical drugs that are actually killing people.
THREE: The federal government has done NOTHING substantial to reform the deadly medical system.
FOUR: The mainstream press failed to follow up or investigate this explosive ongoing tragedy.
FIVE: The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has never highlighted THIS MEDICAL cause of disease.
SIX: The FDA has never made moves to completely overhaul its drug-approval process.
They cannot do what they want in the nation or to the nations of the world. They are limited by written Constitutional restrictions.
“Absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans.

"Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.
"As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in...
"The erosion of fatherhood and their role as spiritual leaders disrupts the transmission of faith. Western [Christian] civilization is sustained not by markets or constitutions, but by moral and spiritual inheritance handed down within families.
"The path forward is clear: we must stop neutralizing male vocation and once again preach sacrifice, duty, and spiritual headship without embarrassment. That requires rejecting the narrative that fathers are incidental to this journey and that their natural authority is a threat rather than a gift. If we internalize that story, we should not be surprised when faith, family, and inheritance continue to fracture."
