RFK and His HHS Cronies Are Making a Killing Off America
Francesca and Wajahat unpack RFK’s latest comments on vaccines and autism. Plus, the Conspirituality podcast’s Derek Beres breaks down the motivations of the MAHA movement.
It’s day 94 of Trump 2.0, and in a time when Medicare and Medicaid are under threat, health in America might be about to get worse.
On the latest episode of ‘America Unhinged’ on YouTube, Francesca Fiorentini and Wajahat Ali discuss Health Secretary RFK Jr’s dangerous rhetoric linking vaccines to autism. In his plan to eradicate autism, RFK has even gone far enough to suggest creating a national registry of autistic Americans, sparking major privacy and ethics concerns.
Wajahat points out that registries were used in Nazi Germany, explaining, “The disabled were among the first to be killed along with Jews.”
He says of RFK’s recent pronouncements about autistic people, “This is the type of guy with a crank eugenics understanding of science, conspiracy theories, a person who is so enamored by his own alleged brilliance… who is in charge of our health and human services saying such deeply offensive things against the autistic community.”
Meanwhile, the anti-vax movement is growing within the US as some in the fitness and wellness communities fall down the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) pipeline. Derek Beres, co-host of the Conspirituality podcast, notes that RFK and other key figures in the Department of Health and Human Services have financial interests in pseudoscience.
He tells Francesca and Wajahat, “If you can create a situation where everything ‘Western medicine’ or ‘pharma-driven’ is seen as evil, and you’re selling these natural solutions, that’s very seductive and that’s very profitable for these people.”
“When people are only looking out for their own self-interests, it builds and you don’t think about the downstream consequences. And that’s what we’re experiencing right now,” he adds.

I really try to be an understanding and empathetic person, and elite universities acting, well, elitist, the spreading of rampant and deadly vaccination mis- and disinformation, and RFK, Jr. saying absolutely anything greatly tries my better nature. And now RFK, Jr., head of the HHS, is establishing registries, ala the Nazis, to better identify those with autism who apparently can't play baseball, don't wear sweaters, are not good dancers, and don't play drums. WTAF?!
Thanks for the show and highlighting the HHS incompetence at the hands of RFK Jr. and the trump administration. Will we ever come back from this?
