Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s HHS nominee, expressed belief in the “plandemic” conspiracy, suggesting the COVID pandemic was planned by the government.
He also compared COVID efforts to Nazi experiments and accused the government of using bioterrorism to implement social controls.
Kennedy’s statements raise concerns about his understanding of infectious diseases and his potential impact on pandemic response.
Even with researchers testing samples that were taken before Covid was known about, the earliest US cases seem to be mid-December.
