RFK, Jr.: Will You Let It Happen Again?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.:

“The Covid pandemic was used to fundamentally change the relationship between US citizens and their government. The government’s public health response was not a medical response, but instead a test of technocratic power:  to see how the population would respond to totalitarian edicts masked as medical interventions. The government also selected the lockdown winners and losers, transferring nearly 4 trillion dollars of wealth from the middle class & small business to Silicon Valley and big box stores. There have been NO corrections and NO apologies–because the government wants to be able to do it again. That is why we are hearing all the hoopla now about monkeypox and bird flu and yet more experimental vaccines. We CANNOT let this happen again.  We MUST resist.”
