Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Doesn’t Fear Germs, And His Reason Is Really, Really Gross

Robert F.Kennedy, Jr.Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr made a startling admission to podcaster Theo Von on Thursday: He doesn’t fear germs at all.That’s pretty strange, but his reason for not being concerned about them is also really gross – trust us.It all started when Kennedy reminded Von of how they had met before the Covid-19 pandemic at early morning recovery meetings (Kennedy has been in recovery from drug addiction for more than 40 years). After the lockdown, they kept in touch via a “pirate” group that continued to meet in secret.Kennedy then explained that his commitment to the recovery process is crucial to his well-being.“I said this when we came in, and I said, ‘I don’t care what happens, I’m going to a meeting every day,’” Kennedy said, before explaining that, for him, addiction is worse than an infection from a virus.“I’m not scared of a germ; I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats. I know this disease will kill me,” he said. “If I don’t treat it, which for me means going to meetings every day, it’s just bad for my life.”Yeah, there’s a clip.HHS Secretary RFK Jr:“I’m not scared of a germ.
