RFK Jr. Gets Crap For Taking Grandkids Swimming In Sewage-Tainted Waters
HuffPost
Many people wondered why the health secretary wanted to put his family at risk for cholera and giardia.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. grossed out a lot of people on Sunday after he posted a photo of himself swimming with his grandkids in waters known to be teeming with sewage.
The secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services wrote that he was on a “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.” The park is located in Washington, D.C.
Kennedy left out the fact that (other) health officials don’t recommend swimming in Rock Creek, since that’s where a lot of sewage from the capital flows ― even during dry spells, the Washingtonian noted on Monday.
The National Park Service website also warns against swimming in Rock Creek, saying the “high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens “make swimming, wading, and other contact with the water a hazard to human (and pet) health.”
HuffPost reached out to Kennedy’s office for comment about the swim, but no one immediately responded.
