    For non-Americans: I needed a translator for the acronyms

    Literal Meaning:

    RFK = Robert F. Kennedy Jr

    HHS = Department of Health and Human Services

    Meaning (my guess): A head of public health who will end up gutting health measures for the public so they get sick and have to spend more money in the private sector.

    Am I close?

      RFK ran for president on a third party ticket before dropping out and endorsing Trump. He was running in the first place to attempt to syphon democratic votes because his father was a very popular democratic Senator and Attorney General who was assassinated and his uncle was John F Kennedy, a very popular democratic President who was assassinated. They thought democrats would vote for him on name recognition alone but the longer he campaigned the more extreme he revealed himself to be and it eventually became apparent that he was more likely to syphon Trump voters than Harris voters. He infamously became infected with brain parasites after eating a dead bear he found on the side of the road, he picked up another roadkill bear but got busy and was concerned it would start to smell so he dumped it in Central Park. He is anti vaccine saying that they cause more harm than the diseases that they prevent and believes that vaccines cause autism. He doesn’t believe that hiv causes aids. He believes that antidepressants cause school shootings and that chemicals in the water (mostly targeting fluoride) make children transgender. He believes that 5g networks are a secret mass surveillance program and that the CIA was responsible for his uncle’s assassination.
