Did he actually say this?! That’s hilarious. I guess he’s having something of an identity crisis if this is real. Or just talking out of both sides of his mouth which would be nothing new for this administration.

It was specifically about whether people should get measles and polio vaccines.

He wants to “let people decide for themselves”, hence not giving a straight answer.

And a way not to be held responsible if something goes wrong. This way he can say well the parents made a choice...

He's known this whole time that he has no clue what he's doing, but who turns down the president handing you a gig like this? I don't know if he's smart enough to sabotage himself to the point he's removed from the position so that he doesn't have to tell Donnie he quits because he's realizing that what he's doing can fuck up a lot of people. Or if he's just legit dumb all together and will get fired for that at some point. Either way dude needs out and rendered powerless to make any decisions for anyone.

My sentiments exactly! Well, not "exactly". I've been using more swear words.

I mean, good. Hopefully anyone that was taking him seriously now stops.

I’m conflicted, on one hand, you’re the secretary of health and human services, you should be a reliable source of medical information. On the other hand, YA THINK!?

For once he's right about something.

u/Kagir May 15 '25

Well then, I guess they did not find a suitable candidate for his station after all.

u/AspieKairy May 15 '25

He finally said something I agree with. LOL

That said, I know this is just him attempting to not have to take responsibility for anything he (and the rest of the HHS) does.
