Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is distancing himself from his anti-vaccine work as he seeks to become the leader of the nation’s top health agency under President Donald Trump, according to government ethics documents released Wednesday.

Kennedy has pulled in roughly $10 million in income from his work over the past year, which includes speaking fees, leading an anti-vaccine nonprofit and legal fees, government ethics forms filed for his nomination show. He has millions of dollars more tied up in investments and other assets.

If confirmed, he has promised to stop collecting fees on some of his vaccine lawsuits involving the U.S. government.

    Fuck those people.

    I have hemochromatosis and a lifelong fear of needles dating back to being bit by a copperhead snake as a small child and a nurse being unable to get an IV in my hand. The year I got my diagnosis I donated a full unit of blood 32 times. I had to look away EVERY TIME, but I still did it because it was medically necessary.

    Fuck all these overgrown children fucking up the world for those of us who chose to grow the fuck up.

    And an additional Fuck, because I’m running out of them to give.
