Second Article in WhoWhatWhy
In my first article for WhoWhatWhy, I discussed the RFK Jr. chaos campaign’s many ties to criminal anti-democracy crusader Steve Bannon.
This controversial campaign is an opportunity to illuminate the dark network the Kennedy family’s black sheep has been involved in during the pandemic. RFK Jr. was brought into the MAGA fold with an appearance on Christian TV with Dr. Simone Gold to push hydroxychloroquine for Covid before the vaccines were available.
As we have discussed here at length, HCQ for Covid relied on shoddy research abroad (namely from France’s Dr. Didier Raoult). Gold’s America’s Frontline Doctors — a creation of the Christo-fascist Council for National Policy’s CNP Action — used promoting the drug to minimize the threat of Covid for Trump’s failed 2020 re-election. Trump would, of course, lose and incite an insurrection which Gold (now a CNP member) went to prison over. The pandemic would go on to kill over a million Americans and despite this, anti-vax disinformation would be used to keep the J6 populist rage alive to present day. Kennedy and his Childrens Health Defense are involved in legal efforts to fight loss of medical licenses for his physician colleagues who pushed HCQ and dangerous Covid lies.
He is a presidential candidate born out of the Trumpocene — and the failure to hold Trump et al accountable. The side effects of this deeply cynical movement have been devastating to American public health and democracy. The destruction reverberates globally and transcend any one man, political party, campaign, or country. It is imperative that we use this misguided campaign to shine some of that Trumpian “Covid-curing” sunlight on the CNP’s Shadow Network and recognize the tremendous damage this American-manufactured disinformation has had globally.
