BREAKING: MAGA Health Secretary RFK Jr. gets hit with nightmare news as Democrats announce an investigation into his “dangerous and reckless” handling of the bird flu outbreak — and expose his disturbing plans.
This is quickly exploding into a full-blown scandal…
House Democrats wrote to Kennedy that they are “troubled to hear” that he’s considering “the ‘possibility of letting [avian flu] run through the flock so that we can identify the birds, and preserve the birds, that are immune to it,’ to be a potentially effective strategy to end the bird flu epidemic.”
“Allowing avian flu to ravage flocks across the country is dangerous and reckless, and is an approach unsupported by scientists, public health officials, and veterinarians,” they wrote.
“This ‘strategy’ also coincides with the emergence of a new strain of a highly pathogenic bird flu known as H7N9, which surfaced at a poultry farm in Mississippi earlier this month and led to the deaths of 46,000 birds,” they continued.
The CDC reported 70 American cases of bird flu since last year and one death. RFK Jr. is well-known for his anti-vax and more broadly anti-science views. In other words, he’s the last person in the world you want overseeing any kind of outbreak.
Democratic Representatives Raja Krishnamoorthi, Emily Randall, Wesley Bell, Lateefah Simon, and House Oversight Committee ranking member Gerry Connolly signed the letter.
They are demanding that RFK Jr. hand over crucial information including “documents and communications related to coordination” between the HHS, Department of Agriculture, CDC, and National Institutes of Heath about avian flu and “any non-governmental experts consulted by HHS related to the federal response to avian flu, such as public health officials, epidemiologists, scientists, veterinarians, etc.”
