In reply to the discussion: RFK Jr. Breaks the First Rule of Medicine [View all]Native
(6,566 posts)16. Read this gem of an excerpt from The Post's board!
Referencing an interview they did with him a couple of years back...
When it came to that topic [health] his views were a head-scratching spaghetti of what we can only call warped conspiracy theories, and not just on vaccines.
Neocons are responsible for Americas policy ills. Pesticides, cellphones, ultrasound could be driving an upswing in Tourette syndrome and peanut allergies.
He told us with full conviction that all Americas chronic health problems began in one year in the 1980s when a dozen bad things happened.
Convincing to the gullible conspiracy-hungry crowd on Twitter, but not to the rest of us.
In fact, we came out thinking hes nuts on a lot of fronts.
A radical, prolonged and confused transition ordered by a guy like RFK Jr., who will use his high office to spout his controversial beliefs, leaves a lot of room for things to go wrong and for people to wind up harmed or even dead.

This alone is enough to make gains in 2026, as long as the Democratic campaign makes a enough noise.

Is it "don't tie a suppurating whale's head you chainsawed off to your car roof where it infects your kids"?
