RFK Jr. Yoinks Millions Meant To Keep Minority Infants Alive For His Security Detail

What if all this time, we have completely misunderstood RFK Jr.’s obsession with keeping children from being vaccinated? What if the notion that he was a true anti-vaxxer, or was ignorant and confused on how this whole science things works, was completely wrong? What if he just hates children, particularly black and brown children, and wants less of them to exist?

It’s a weird premise, I know. But then you learn that Kennedy has exploded the budget for his own personal security to three-times the historical amount and he paid for it by grabbing funds meant for the Office of Minority Health.

According to a Wall Street Journal article published on Tuesday, the Department of Health and Human Services told congressional appropriators earlier this year that it was shifting about $12 million from its Office of Minority Health to help pay for Kennedy’s protection. The Journal cited people familiar with the matter and a document it reviewed.

According to The Journal’s sources, Kennedy’s security costs rose from roughly $10 million in fiscal 2025 to $17 million in fiscal 2026. Those sources said protection for previous HHS secretaries ran about $5 million a year.

The Office of Minority Health was created under Reagan when people bothered to notice that black infants in America had a survival rate well below that of their white counterparts. It has an annual budget of $74 million, meaning that Kennedy yoinked away nearly a quarter of its funding. You may also have noticed that Kennedy’s security costs rose $7 million, yet he took $12 million from OMH. Why? According to HHS, the answer is because HHS has been hit by large funding cuts. Cuts that this administration, and Kennedy, put in place.

So, to summarize, Kennedy has a security budget for himself that is over 3 times the historical budget for his position, he took more money than that security actually costs from a tiny agency in government meant to protect the health of black and brown people, mostly babies, and HHS essentially blamed all of this on itself. Black children must die so that Kennedy can feel more safe, apparently.

Oh, and it seems Kennedy may not have even needed that money in the first place.

The sources also told The Journal that the secretary’s office had a large pool of discretionary money it could have used instead. 

Now, I’m not saying that Kennedy definitely wants black and brown children to die at a higher rate. I’m saying he clearly doesn’t care that they may die at a higher rate, so long as he feels more safe. After all, sociopaths don’t really want others to die or be in pain; they just don’t care if that happens so long as they benefit.

Hopefully the rest of us not dealing with that affliction can agree that this is very gross.
