On Wednesday, January 29th, at 10 am, RFK Jr. will be asked questions about heading the Department of Health and Human Services. Here are some suggestions.
It is very concerning that Trump is already clamping down on communication from CDC and FDA and withdrawing from WHO. It is clear Trump was very unprepared for the Covid pandemic, and will be even less prepared should the next pandemic occur during his term. It is not a question of IF another pandemic will occur, it's just a question of WHEN it will occur. Infectious disease expert Dr. Michael Osterholm had an interesting response on his podcast when asked what question he would ask Kennedy, and he said, "none." He said there is no point, because Kennedy has a history of saying things ON CAMERA and later denying that he ever said them. Therefore, his answers to questions are useless. What I would like to ask Dr. Marty Makary, new FDA commissioner who I totally trust after listening to every one of his podcasts with ZDogg MD, is whether he would withdraw approvals for vaccines if Kennedy tells him to. Dr. Offit, you need to see if ZDogg would be willing to have the two of you on again, this time together, if Makary can spare the time and if Trump will let him speak!
nah. Dr. Offit is going to need to debate this issue. Going forward communications and debate is the only way to move forward. without that there is no question what "we" are having for dinner...
I really wish the confirmation hearing panel is taking note of your questions…Excellent and factual of who RFK Jr really is! If he is confirmed, that’d be the final straw for me regarding the extremely wrong direction that this country is taking with most of the candidates that 47 has nominated to be confirmed! Most of them are outright wrong for the country, and IMO, RFK Jr is the worse!
Dr. Offit, I just watched you in a fake Senate hearing, and it’s clear you are not ready for primetime. If you come forward as a witness, you will be dismantled. Your questions lack substance and relevance. I’m currently reading your book, Pandora’s Lab, and frankly, you come across as a blowhard.
More importantly, you know why public health is mistrusted, yet you dismiss it as unimportant. Let me assure you: regulation and vaccine manufacturer liability are inevitable. Vaccine mandates? They’re finished.
Despite your protests, these are outcomes you precipitated by endorsing vaccine mandates as appropriate. This is the fight we’re having now, and nothing else. You’ve lost the ability to mandate vaccine, and no amount of wailing will change that.
Please send this to Sens Tommy Tuberville and Rand Paul. I wrote to Coach T yesterday and asked him to imagine his football bench wiped out from meningitis that flew across locker room and dorms. Tried to put it in a language he could understand. No response but they need to hear from you !
Here's what Google says about the effects of PESTICIDES on estrogen receptors. Are you REALLY suggesting here that Google's AI is not correct?
"Pesticides can directly interact with estrogen receptors, acting as "endocrine disruptors" by either mimicking the natural hormone estrogen (agonist activity) or blocking its binding to the receptor (antagonist activity), potentially leading to disruptions in the body's hormonal balance and causing various health effects depending on the type of pesticide and exposure level. "
To show "good faith" and your alliance will "following the science," will you consider RETRACTING your own article? I hope so.
LOL! Boy is this Offit a blowhard. Glad his shtick is finally being exposed. And he believes anti-vaxers are scientifically illiterate?! This is going to be great!
In due respect, you claim that RFK stated that Covid was developed to target Jewish people and Chinese, and yet, you did not use the FULL quote. Why is that? Oh, it is because you took that quote totally out of context. RFK's remark was on the ABILITY of modern gain of function research to develop biowarfare that CAN target specific genetic types.
You lose ALL credibility when you are found to purposefully take things out of context.
Stating "There is an argument" does not equate to belief that the argument is correct. Before asking Kennedy if he still believes something, wouldn't it be prudent to first establish that he once believed that? I never took his speculation on the matter to be a statement of his belief. Why did you?
If biological warfare was to undertaken, wouldn't the governmental entities involved seek to create germs that their own populations would be less susceptible to? While I don't think that COVID19 was engineered as a biological weapon, it seems like a reasonable speculation about such ventures to me.

Thank you, Dr. Offit.
Thanks as always for what you do. Glad to hear there is still sanity allowed to make its way to the surface.
I hope you are sending your list of questions to every congressman and senator.
Once again you are the educated voice of reason. I wish you all the best and many thanks for all that you do.

Retracting because of “what google says”, as a means of “following the science”? Wow.
"If it's on the Internet, it must be true!” 🙄
I can only hope that Kennedy makes some equally outrageous claim, before confirmation, about McDonald hamburgers.
Well, junior ate MackyD burgers on the plane, remember?

I was going to make exactly this point. I believe Dr. Offit knows full well what he’s doing.
thoughtful questions underlining RFK's abject disqualifications as shown by his public opinions
Brilliantly put, Paul. I look forward to hearing how he responds next week.
👍👍
