Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIn the latest episode of the series, David takes on the role of Dora Salk, the mother of polio vaccine creator Jonas Salk. While bragging about her son to a neighbor in her backyard (she\u2019s hanging laundry, naturally) Dora is confronted by another neighbor (played by Gregg Perrie) who seems far too tan for 1950s Queens, New York, and whose voice is rather croaky. And this guy does not like vaccines one bit, likening them to a Nazi plot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t \u201cThat vaccine\u2019s gonna kill people,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna give them heart attacks!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tLarry-as-Dora doesn\u2019t like this buttinsky one bit. \u201cDrop dead, Bobby,\u201d says Dora. \u201cYou should die a dog\u2019s death! You don\u2019t know anything about science, you\u2019re not a doctor. God help us all if some idiot, some moron, ever put you in charge. That would be a dark day for humanity I can tell you that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDavid, an outspoken critic of all things Trump, is a longtime acquaintance of Kennedy through the latter\u2019s marriage to Hines, who played David\u2019s wife Cheryl on Curb. Kennedy\u2019s years as an anti-vaccine activist apparently hasn\u2019t sat well with the Seinfeld co-creator. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHines, who unlike some other Curb performers has not appeared on the new HBO Max show, has said that her friendship with David seems to have evaporated in recent years. Judging by the latest Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, that seems a reasonable assumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Larry David squares off \u2013 after a fashion \u2013 against the high-profile, if often misinformed, husband of his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[265],"tags":[92175,18,117,7948,19,17,92177,176661,249325,128],"class_list":["post-592437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-cheryl-hines","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-hbo-max","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-larry-david","tag-life-larry-and-the-pursuit-of-unhappiness","tag-robert-kennedy-jr","tag-tv"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116942352533636065","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
