Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

I don’t understand the end game here. What possible benefit is there to RFK or the federal government to reject sound science? I don’t see a profit motive, I don’t see a grift that’d be “worth” the deaths… it’s not like ivermectin is something you could profit off of… why?
For him, it’s about being right. After learning a bit about his past, it seems (to me anyway) that having an autistic kid kind of broke him. He’s been trying to fix it ever since. It’s sad, really.
He should retire from public life and seek professional help then, not inflict his trauma on everyone else.
That would require acknowledging that he is the problem. He doesn't have that level of introspection. It's easier for him to just convince himself that the professionals are the problem.
Or retire from life
He doesn't believe in Germ theory. He's utterly deranged. The grift is alternative medicine, but I don't know if he really understands that it's a grift. His bosses surely do, but they just want to inflict as much punishment on institutions as possible.
doesn’t understand science
Fulfillment of their worldview based entirely on conspiracy theories.
Certain industries having to do with fraudulent medicine may get a boost from such a distorted government agency. This includes dozens of multi-level marketing corporations.
Also, Putin gets to benefit from the massive vaccine and medical disinformation program translating into gradual destabilization of the United States.
pseudoscience, supplements(not vitamins), things chronic lyme is a whole industry around it.
He's probably, like the rest of this cabinet, also Kremlin compromised and is just trying to fuck up everything possible. The whole charade of running as a Dem to steal Dem votes then immediately jumping ship when it turned out he was actually siphoning off Trump votes. The guy was a straight heroin addict at one point. Maybe still is? Who knows, but people who become heroin addicts don't make good decisions. It's absolutely possible he got jammed up monetarily and uncle Vlad came n bailed him out. The Kremlin would salivate at the opportunity to have a Kennedy on their roster.
both RFK JR and stein had the same amount of votes, about million from both, i suspect they were mostly trump ones.
It’s about protecting a world view that props up his value system by dismantling anything that might call it into question.
On the plus side, RFKjr:-
On the minus side, RFKJr;
Eugenics maybe? Killing off people with weaker immune systems and comorbities and the like?
He likes making people sick and die. A compulsion. It’s that simple.
What is complex is how this is being allowed
