Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s HHS nominee, expressed belief in the “plandemic” conspiracy, suggesting the COVID pandemic was planned by the government.
He also compared COVID efforts to Nazi experiments and accused the government of using bioterrorism to implement social controls.
Kennedy’s statements raise concerns about his understanding of infectious diseases and his potential impact on pandemic response.
No, there isn’t. Anyone who was paying attention to news out of China saw that illnesses started being reported there in November 2019. By late December, it was obvious that something was going on.
There has been zero evidence that the same was true in the States.
Don’t spread misinformation.
The earliest tests done on residual samples from the Red Cross date back to December 13th and they show a small but significant positive caseload at that time. To my knowledge no other testing was done on earlier samples so in theory it could have been present before that in the US.

Even with researchers testing samples that were taken before Covid was known about, the earliest US cases seem to be mid-December.
