Jonathan Reiner @jreinermd.bsky.social · 25/01/2025The central issue with the nomination of RFK Jr is less whether he’s qualified for the position (I think he’s not) but more that his antivax & conspiracy theories disqualify him from a post central to emergency response during a national health emergency. 0336
