If you were writing a drama about a terrible presidency and you invented a fictional Secretary of Health who looked like an animated corpse, whose voice sounds like he’s gargling broken glass, and who wheezed like every breath might be his last, you’d be accused of being a bit hamfisted with your metaphors.
And yet here we are with RFK Jr, a Secretary of Health who looks and sounds as if he’s simultaneously experiencing every illness and malady it’s possible for a person to have. RFK Jr appeared on Capitol Hill yesterday to testify before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
