HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave NBC the latest dope on genetics, immunity, vaccinations, and what is known in the sciences as a metric butt-load of other stuff.
In the wake of a scorchingly controversial statement by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that he could detect “mitochondrical challenges” in children by passing them from a distance, the Health and Human Services Secretary was interviewed on the NBC Sunday morning mainstay, Meet the Press.

Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.” Dr. Ashish Jha, dean at Brown University School of Public Health, added, “This is wacky, flat-earth, voodoo stuff.”
Shortly after these comments, the Trump administration announced it was suing both Muhlenberg College and Brown University over DEI and anti-Semitism matters.
Meet the Press host Kristen Welker got right to it:
“Mr. Secretary, you have stated publicly that COVID-19 is ‘targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.’ Is that statement Sinophobic and anti-Semitic?”
“No, Kristen,” croaked Kennedy hoarsely. “It is a matter of pseudo-scientific fact: chinks and kikes…uh, excuse me, hebes, are much better able to resist the effects of the kung-flu than normal people. The Chinese made a deal with George Soros and other bad Jews.”
“Mr. Secretary, regarding mandated vaccines, you said that ‘even in Hitler’s Germany, you could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did.’ Is that anti-Semitic?”
“What do you care, Kristen? You’re Black, not Jewish. I wish you cultural minorities would just get over yourselves.”
“Another statement you made,” continued Welker, is that ‘fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease.’ What scientific basis have you for making such a declaration?”
“I am pleased that you asked me that question, Kristen,” said Kennedy warmly. “During my teenage years I got a B+ in high school chemistry. Plus, I almost never miss an issue of Scientific American. Moreover, I am something of an amateur chemist and often work in my basement on various experiments.”
“In an April 2025 press conference, you stated that ‘autism destroys families’ and that some autistic children will ‘never pay taxes, hold a job, play baseball, write a poem, or date’ and that some of them ‘will never use a toilet unassisted.’ Aren’t you selling victims of autism and their families short?”
“No,” said Kennedy. “Speaking frankly–and scientifically–there is literally no hope for these individuals. I refer you to the tract co-written by the president and myself: The Beauty of Eugenics.”
“And then you said publicly that ‘we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites, because their immune system is better than ours.’ Care to respond?”
“Certainly,” replied Kennedy. “Let me draw a helpful analogy. On a farm, you got the plow-horse and you got the farmer’s wife. The horse doesn’t need the same attention as does the wife. The horse, valuable as she is, is innately more hardy. In fact, a mare can drop a foal without assistance. You can’t say that about the wife.” He chuckled lightly.
“Here’s another statement you made, Mr. Secretary: ‘Prior to the introduction of Prozac, we had almost no school shootings.’ What do you mean by that?”
“The American people have to face some hard facts,” said Kennedy gruffly. “And those facts are that 99 percent of school shootings are perpetrated by either psychotics, transgender children and adults, or undocumented immigrants.”
“Final question, Mr. Secretary: Do you regret absconding with a dead bear cub in Central Park and then returning it and trying to make it look like an accident”‘
“We Kennedy kids were raised close to the bone and I was not about to allow an ursine sandwich to slip between my fingers. That would be wasteful, Kristen. Besides, bear meat doesn’t have all the hydrogenated oils, MSG, artificial colors, and preservatives found in processed meat. My pit bull is fond of it too.”
“Thanks very much, Mr. Secretary. Please Come back. If it’s Sunday, it’s Meet the Press.”
