It turns out RFK Jr., the person ostensibly in charge of the FDA, is shockingly clueless, too. Anti-vaxxer Kennedy appeared on CBS News Wednesday morning, presumably to rehab his image after the public health cuts and during a mushrooming measles epidemic among the unvaccinated, made worse by Texans taking toxic levels of Vitamin A, thanks to Kennedy’s half-baked advocacy.

Kennedy was asked by CBS’ Dr. Jon LaPook about the cuts made to public health personnel and programs. Kennedy claimed to know nothing about any of them. Nor did he seem at all sorry about his ignorance.

LAPOOK: You propose more than $11 billion in cuts to local and state programs addressing things like infectious disease, mental health, addiction and childhood vaccination. Did you personally approve those cuts?

KENNEDY: I'm not familiar with those cuts. I, I mean - we have to go - we'd have to go –
