DeSantis Floats Appointing RFK To Head CDC Or FDA

Florida Politics reports:

When it comes to who might head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in his administration, Ron DeSantis is ready to cross party lines.

During an interview with Outkick, the 2024 Republican presidential candidate suggested that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. would be a good choice for either appointed role.

“Yes, the medical stuff. I’m very good on that,” DeSantis said. “So that does appeal to me. In that regard, it’s like, ‘OK, if you’re President, you know, sic him on the FDA, if he’d be willing to serve, or sic him on CDC.’”

Regarding the latest RFK batshittery seen below, the polio vaccine became widely available in 1955. DDT wasn’t banned until 1972.

RFK Jr. said it’s “mythology” to claim that vaccines eliminated polio and suggested the banning of DDT is what actually eliminated polio, not vaccines. pic.twitter.com/AGLtUcMk1l
