My Dear America:
To A Democrat and also to most Republicans My Age (Heading Toward 83) The Name Kennedy has always meant certain things to most Americans. John Kennedy, along with his Brothers, Bobby and Ted gave their working lives to Public Service. John and Bobby actually gave their lives to their country. They were both gunned down while in the process of campaigning for the Presidency of the United States. Their deaths were some of the first examples of why we needed serious gun control in the United States, which we don't appear to be any closer to having today than we were when these two great American Patriots were killed.
For those not old enough to remember, John Kennedy was elected President of the United States in 1960 after serving in the United States Senate. His famous catchphrase was "Ask Not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." While he was alive he had some very good ideas, most of which were not implemented in his lifetime but many were implemented following his Assassination in Dallas Texas on November 22nd of 1963.
Some of JFK' s ideas and accomplishments included the following:
Establishing The Peace Corps, which sent Americans into other countries to assist with many everyday activities,
Establishing NASA and prioritizing Space Exploration with the goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960's
The reduction of Poverty in the United States and Prioritizing Civil Rights.
Keeping Russian Missiles out of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Robert Francis Kennedy, John Kennedy's younger brother also had quite an extensive work resume when he ran for President in 1968.
RFK had worked as a Staff Member of Important Senate committees while his brother was a Senator
RFK had worked very hard in his brother's campaign for the Presidency in 1960
He was also appointed by his brother to be the Attorney General of the United States during John Kennedy's Administration and continued in that role for a time in the Lyndon Johnson Administration.
Following in his brother's footsteps RFK ran for the Senate from New York and won prior to running for the Presidency.
If these two All Star Kennedy's weren't enough, Their Brother, Edward Kennedy (Ted) also ran for the Senate and won his Brother John's seat and over many years established a reputation as a Senator who could get along with Republicans and get things done. Unfortunately for Ted Kennedy his problematic behavior regarding the drowning death of a young staffer from Bobby's Senate Office at Chappaquiddik seemed to permanently tarnish Ted's reputation.
Many other Kennedy Family Members had their own accomplishments as well as difficulties over the years but by and large the Kennedy Family has been a close knit and highly accomplished group of family members.
Now we have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as our Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Trump Administration and since his appointment by Donald Trump to this position we have seen some startling changes happening at HHS.
The importance of numerous vaccines in schools all across the United States and elsewhere has been a long established precedent for many years. Unfortunately for many believers in Vaccines, RFK Jr. does not seem to subscribe to the worth of Vaccines. In a recent Senate hearing many of the Democratic and Republican Senators took the HHS Secretary to task on a whole range of subjects including Vaccines.
Many Republicans pointed out that the Covid 19 vaccine was one of the greatest accomplishments of the first Trump Administration.
It is true that the Covid Vaccine was developed and approved at "Warp Speed" during the First Trump Administration. The truth however is that the person in the Administration who was primarily responsible for the quick development of the Covid 19 Vaccine was Vice President Mike Pence.
After Donald Trump began getting tired of providing updates every day on Covid, he passed on this pain in the ass chore to the Vice President who clearly seemed to take Covid far more seriously than Trump. Trump just seemed to see Covid as an obnoxious impediment to getting Re Elected to a second term, which of course it was.
Mike Pence, however took his appointment to be the Covid Tsar very seriously. In addition to just being a talking head about Covid to the media, Pence worked closely with Health and Human Services, State Governors and Pharmaceutical Companies and emphasized to all of them the importance of getting a vaccine fast.
It might be remembered that the Covid Vaccine did not become widely available until after the end of the Trump Administration and the beginning of the Biden Administration when dealing with Covid became issue Number One with the Biden Administration.
During the 2025 Election Campaign Robert Kennedy Jr. made a half hearted attempt at running for President. He was advised by the vast majority of his family members not to run and I remember that the Biden Campaign had a widely publicized White House meeting with all of the Kennedy Family members who had pledged their support for Biden. It was a large gang of Kennedy Family members who were supporters of Biden.
When the steam ran out of the Robert Kennedy Jr. Campaign for President Kennedy approached both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump about Joining their Campaign's and Cabinet. Kamala wasn't interested in playing games with Kennedy and turned him down flat. Donald Trump, on the other hand quickly took Kennedy on the road with him and promised him Health and Human Services if Trump won.
It seems as though Donald Trump liked the idea of having a Kennedy in his Administration. What seems to be very clear at this point is that Kennedy's attitude about vaccines is Reckless and Wrong and is a clear and present danger to the children of America and probably to the adults of America also.
None of us want to have this long time former heroin addict making choices that affect the health of Americans.
Playing Russian Roulette with the health of our children, grandchildren and Americans of all ages is way too dangerous a game.
The bottom line here is that Robert F. Kennedy must go and he must go fast enough to prevent this wacko from killing any more Americans with his insane, dangerous and just plain Weird Ideas about Vaccines.
Sincerely Yours
Jerry Gallagher
