Larry David has a blunt message for his former friend Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. in the latest episode of his HBO sketch comedy series “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.”

The show, produced by Barack Obama, features Larry in drag as Dora Salk, the mother of virologist Jonas Salk, who developed the first successful polio vaccine.
In the sketch, a tan, gravelly-voiced neighbor named Bobby criticizes the vaccine, saying it will kill people and cause heart attacks.
Larry, as Dora, fires back: “Drop dead, Bobby. You should die a dog’s death.
You don’t know anything about science, you’re not a doctor.”
Bobby, clearly resembling RFK Jr., retorts that if he were in charge, he would ensure no child receives the vaccine, including for measles.

Dora continues: “If you were in charge, God help us all!
If some idiot, some moron, ever put you in charge, that would be a dark day for humanity.”
The jab is a not-so-subtle reflection of Larry’s criticism of the current administration and his fractured friendship with RFK Jr., who now serves as Donald Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.
RFK Jr. has been a prominent anti-vaccine activist, though he recently said he is not totally against vaccines.

Larry and RFK Jr. were once close friends. RFK’s wife, Cheryl Hines, played Larry’s wife-turned-ex on 12 seasons of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
Larry even introduced Hines and RFK.
But political differences appear to have ended their friendship.
Hines said she and Bobby stopped speaking after “Curb” ended, adding, “I think he’s mad [that] Bobby’s in the administration.”
Hines is the only “Curb” cast member who has not appeared in “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.”

Larry continues to use the Trump administration as material for his jokes, and this latest episode is no exception.
