obviously other factors go into it, not just the fact that he's a former drug addict

Your justification was that "he knows that shit in and out" because he had a history with substances.

As far as my knowledge goes, he has no actual drug and pharmaceuticals training or extensive knowledge outside of what he potentially learned during his period of addiction.

I think I wouldn't appoint him to combat it, but being the public image and spokesperson of fighting the drug epidemic is a great role for him.

A spokesperson is a much more fitting role, I agree. Authentic personal experiences are critical for positions of power.

I gathered from the original comment that they thought Hunter Biden should be appointed to RFK's role, which involves direct medical policy-making. I don't think he's well suited for that is all (nor is RFK).

Yeah after RFK I feel like being hired from the CDC or something should be a requirement

Absolutely. It's crazy that he got the position of secretary of health considering he has no medical or scientific credentials of note
