I am very far from being a Bobby Kennedy, Jr fan, but it’s a bad look for leftists to criticize him for having survived addiction. People keep bringing it up like it’s a reason he shouldn’t have a role in health administration - it echoes the kind of empty ad hominem attacks right wingers often make. He’s not unqualified because he’s a recovered addict; he’s unqualified because he has no experience in healthcare leadership and he proliferates dangerous ideas as alternatives to proven science.
He has brain damage from his addiction. He has brain damage from brain worms. He is going to be in charge of us. These are what ad hominem attacks are for. This. What are you trying to apply logical fallacies to? Who are you protecting from what?

He was a heroin addict for 17 years and had a brain worm! This is the best we’ve got?!?!?
