Former CDC scientist warns: RFK Jr. appears to believe in eugenics. ‘Wake up… This is where fascism lives’
A scientist who resigned from the CDC this week is warning that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has shown signs he believes in “eugenics.”
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned in protest of the Trump administration’s firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez, told MSNBC Saturday morning that America needs to “wake up” to the secretary’s rhetoric.
“I really hear the echoes of the word, ‘superior genetics,’” Daskalakis said. “He referred to very high members of this administration and their improving health status. And said, well, that person has superior genetics… That is eugenics. Wake up. This is a red flag.”
Let’s not forget: RFK Jr., is the grandson of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. who once said that the United States “would have to come to some form of Fascism here.”
In a review of Joseph Kennedy, American Fascist (2021), by Susan Ronald, Carl Rollyson writes:
Kennedy thought solely in terms of economics. Although he said he cared about the fate of Jews and persecuted minorities, in the end he thought they would have to be sacrificed for the greater good of the United States and its allies. Like Hitler, Kennedy believed in a Jewish cabal, which had thwarted him and that was intent on instigating incidents that would draw America into a disastrous war. “To defeat fascism,” Kennedy argued in a memorandum, the United States would “have to adopt totalitarian methods” and strike deals with dictators.
