    Has RFK made any moves to punish-

    -Tobacco companies
    -Alcohol companies
    -Fast food companies

    Did RFK support bringing back Michelle Obama healthy school lunch program?

    Does RFK support continuing Biden’s moon shot to cure cancer?

    In those years RFK mentioned, has measles, Polio, HIV, and other deadly diseases increased or decreased?

    I get why people in the wellness space online etc are intrigued by this guy but he’s so obviously full of sh$t it’s not even funny. We do have a problem in this country with our health, but ONLY focusing on vaccine conspiracy theories while ignoring the elephants in the room like obesity is insane, and shows your bias.

    76.4% of Americans do not have a Chronic Disease. #1) That is adults on, so not accurate to say just Americans. #2) It is a chronic condition, not disease.

    Important to note, people just died of problems back in the day, so they weren't chronic. Here is a list of the conditions:

    Having a chronic condition was defined as responding yes to having ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that the respondent had any of the following: arthritis; cancer, excluding skin cancer (cancer); COPD; depressive disorder (depression); diabetes (excluding during pregnancy only); heart attack, angina, or coronary heart disease (heart disease); high blood pressure; high cholesterol; CKD; or stroke. Additionally, current asthma and obesity (body mass index ≥30.0, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared from self-reported weight and height) were included as chronic conditions.

    Many of those aren't necessarily chronic. I wouldn't consider my self to have a chronic disease or even condition, but I would be included because I have been diagnosed with depression in the past.

    Obesity is a massive problem in this country (and really world-wide), but how are we going to fix that when we drive everywhere. Many of us work at a computer. Our typical food portions are double or triple what our bodies need. Then there is the convenience, cheapness, and tastiness of unhealthy food options.

    COVID was politicized alright, but by Republicans.

    Lots of lies out of RFK's mouth just like every ****ing time he speaks. He takes things out of context every single time to push his agenda. That is politicizing.

    Yes we were lied to, and the government is STILL lying to us. The government meaning our CURRENT Health and Human Services Secretary who in a hearing lied that Hydroxychloroquine is a therapeutic for Covid.

    https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...xychloroquine-treatment-covid-19/art-20555331

    https://www.who.int/news-room/quest...navirus-disease-(covid-19)-hydroxychloroquine

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8381625/


    Few people have politicized Covid more than our current Secretary of HHS. He was all over the media, and talking to anyone that would listen to him spreading lies about Covid, and the vaccine, and fake snake oil therapeutics. He even was political AGAINST Trump. Very vocally.

    I will go as far as to say that had RFK NOT politicized Covid as much as he did, he wouldn't have ever had a platform to run 3rd party, and be awarded one of those most powerful positions in government as a reward for helping Trump win the 2024 election. Few people outside of Hollywood, and DC even knew this guy existed.

    1. He needs to be drug tested in case he’s had a heroin relapse
    2. They need to make sure the worm in his brain hasn’t returned
    3. He needs to be fired

    Even when confronted with his own words he lies and said its being taken out of context.......................he is a fraud with no background to do this job which is funny as most of his picks are too dumb to know what to do. The bad part is the effects will be felt for a LONG time

    Trump has done a whole lot of things.

    Letting RFKJr take over America's heath & science government infrastructure is going to be the the most long-lasting and detrimental of all his idiot decisions.

    1940s: Measles was still everywhere, but not as deadly thanks to medicine.
    1960s: Measles stopped being everywhere at all, thanks to the vaccine.
    2030s?: Measles will be nearly everywhere again. While not as deadly thanks to medicine, thousands of kids will die and thousands more will suffer permanent brain damage ... thanks to RFK.

    i wish that you'd stop helping to spread mis-informationl

    COVID 19 started during Trump 1.0; yes, the dotard minimized its effect

    we all remember that Trump recommended the use of cleaning solutions to fend off the Corona Virus

    https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/sep/27/10-donald-trumps-big-falsehoods-about-covid-19/




    but RFKJ was all over the place, contradicting himself.

    while all along claiming that vaccine did not work, he also said that Trump deserved a
    Noble Prize for operational warp speed, https://www.bing.com/search?q=operation warp speed&FORM=ARPSEC&PC=ARPL&PTAG=16930194, to accelerate the development/mfg/devlivery of COVID vaccine​
