""They shut those down during COVID," said RFK. "But we still did live meetings every day during COVID. We moved from the bank. There were about 15 of us who moved from the bank, and we got into the Palisades Playhouse, which now burned down during the fire. It was kind of a pirate group." "You know what? I said this when we came in," he continued. "I don't care what happens, I'm going to a meeting every day.""
""Jesus. I mean, yes, we've long known Kennedy refuses to be afraid of COVID-19, having infamously declared in 2023 that the virus "attacks certain races disproportionately." (!) And yes, in May, the HHS Secretary did decide to completely remove from the CDC's immunization schedule for "healthy children and pregnant women" the COVID-19 vaccine (!!?!). So maybe I shouldn't be too surprised that he continues to reduce the disease that's killed at least 1.1 million individuals a "germ" that didn't scare him ...""
Kennedy recounted forming a daily addiction-meeting group during the COVID pandemic, moving meetings from a bank to the Palisades Playhouse and calling the group "kind of a pirate group." He affirmed a commitment to attend meetings daily and said he was "not scared of a germ," adding that he "used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats." He previously characterized COVID-19 as disproportionately affecting certain races and removed the COVID-19 vaccine from the CDC immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women. The actions and statements have raised questions about his fitness for public-health leadership.
