Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plunged into a creek deemed a "hazard" to human health as part of his Mother's Day celebrations on Sunday, May 11.

The Department of Health and Human Services secretary, 71, posted photos to X of himself and his family at Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. In one of the images, Kennedy is fully submerged with his head underwater. In another, he holds one of his grandchildren as the child's feet dip into the creek. The National Park Service banned swimming and wading in the creek due to "high bacteria levels" in the water.

"Mother’s Day hike in Dumbarton Oaks Park with Amaryllis, Bobby, Kick, and Jackson, and a swim with my grandchildren, Bobcat and Cassius in Rock Creek," Kennedy captioned his post on Sunday.

[...]

Kennedy, who challenged the idea that germs cause disease in his 2021 book The Real Anthony Fauci, has a long history of dubious health claims. He recently incorrectly stated that the MMR vaccine includes "aborted fetus debris," and said bird flu should be allowed to spread on farms, suggesting the infected birds should be isolated and left to breed, not culled.

So we another Cuckoo Award to the Secretary of Health and Human Services!
