Summary
Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., despite his history of heroin addiction, supports ending a $56 million federal Narcan distribution program that helped drive a nearly 24% drop in U.S. overdose deaths in 2024.
The program, administered by SAMHSA, trained over 66,000 people and distributed 282,500 kits.
Critics warn that cutting Narcan funding could reverse life-saving progress, especially as fentanyl-related overdoses persist.
Kennedy argues the crisis requires deeper societal change beyond “nuts and bolts” solutions, while public health advocates condemn the move as dangerously premature.
This is the same man who once sawed the head off of a whale, strapped it to his roof, then forced his children to endure being rained upon by whale juice.
Just internalize that. This man is in charge of health
At least it’s not the same guy who dumped a dead bear in Central Park oh wait it totally is!
RFK, like the rest of the oligarchs, cannot appreciate how society allowed him to live his best life.
He just summarily wiped out a large portion of the MAGA voting base in the southeast.
Seriously though…
Past? Have you drug tested him? Does he seem altogether put together?

So do that first brain worm. You could keep the program going while you work on all that.
Does anyone know how long Narcan’s shelf life is? I have some but I want to know if it is worth stocking up
My understanding is that it’s quite long. I saw cited a 90% effectiveness at 30 years.
Used to be 2 years, recently changed to 3. Not sure if that’s due to some ingredient change though, so you’re better going with 2 I’d say. But I’m also an idiot. lol
We are being cleansed. It’s pretty obvious isn’t it?
Depopulation of the unwanted by those above us.
it’s not going to do that though
More opioid users will die. How is that not doing it?
deeper societal change
Like UBI? Or a reduction in work hours? Or education programs? This jerk won’t do any of that.
He somewhat backed UBI when running for president. That idea is probably gone now under Trump but he wasn’t against it not to long ago.
He will do as the brain worm commands
Of course he does. This mush mouthed brain dead stack of rotten shoe leather is a COMPLETE disgrace to the Kennedy name. The only thing keeping this sorry sack of shit out of a white jacket and a rubber room is his family’s legacy AND MONEY.
I wouldn’t call the Kennedy name honorable exactly
But what was the Kennedy name? Joe dealing with the mafia to get JFK elected? JFK escalating the Vietnam war? Bay of pigs? Ted at Chappaquiddick?
Before that even – Joe making big bucks on WWII.
Nurgle would be proud.
I’m curios, does anyone know an ex heroin junky that went straight edge and didn’t substitute heroin with another addiction? Because I don’t
Testosterone and steroids, at a minimum. Probably body dysmorphia brought on by destruction of his brain from decades of hard drug abuse plus a fucking brain worm
That’s the minimum. He probably got in with Elon’s hookup.
In conjunction with this, we are also getting rid of epi-pens in EMS vehicles, planes, and hospitals because this goes beyond a having allergies problem.
Daily reminder not to feed into bullshit talking points about fentanyl from the borders. Nothing this administration does is about fentanyl, fentanyl is just the new marijuana or crack - a justification for exploitation and abuse. For blaming minorities and foreigners.
Don’t get me wrong - fentanyl is fucked. There is a real crisis out there.
But this administration doesn’t give a shit about that crisis. They never have, they never will. Here is exhibit A.
“This administration is so unpredictable!”
Is it though? It seems pretty simple:
Does it help people and not directly benefit the ultra wealthy? Kill it.
Does it hurt people we don’t like or boost the oppressive power of the state? Boost it!
That seems to be the Trump administration in a nutshell.
What was his uncle and father think of the man he has grown to become? What a evil horrible nan.
“This administration is so unpredictable!”

Yes, they’re way too reliably wrong for it to be accidental.
