After Gov. Jared Polis announced on social media he was “excited by the news the President-Elect will appoint Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.” to head the US Department of Health and Human Services, he grabbed a shovel kept digging. The infamous anti-vaxxer, Polis wrote, “helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019.” He hoped Kennedy “leans into personal choice on vaccines” because mandates are “terrible.” In addition to taking on “big pharma,” Polis added he looks forward to working with Kennedy against the “corporate agriculture oligopoly” which he accused of doing “more harm than good” to human health and the environment. Trying to curry favor with the incoming administration by supporting a nominee who spreads harmful misinformation like a virus isn’t going to inoculate the state against Trump’s first 100 days.
