RFK Jr. is Dangerously Stupid

Go to consensus.app for a new way to search through primary scientific literature! Science denial is dangerous no matter who is promoting it, but it's ten times worse when it's coming from people in positions of political power. In February, RFK Jr. was appointed by Donald Trump to act as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees CDC, NIH, and FDA. Bobby also is famous for profiting from spreading lies about vaccines, denying the germ theory of disease, and just generally being a complete maniac masquerading as someone who cares about public health, largely coasting off of his family name. It's time for everyone to see exactly who this guy is, and this video will be an extremely detailed analysis of his views, behavior, and the policies he has enacted during his very short time in office. Please watch, share with others, and use your voice. It's time to start fighting back. 0:07:25 - Chapter 1: The Chronic Disease Crisis 0:18:37 - Chapter 2: Vaccine Misinformation 0:41:55 - Chapter 3: Environmental Toxins 0:52:16 - Chapter 4: Corporate Capture 1:00:00 - Chapter 5: Real-World Harms 1:06:58 - Chapter 6: Theater of the Macabre 1:11:20 - Chapter 7: Pseudoscience Potpourri 1:15:35 - Chapter 8: The MAHA Report 1:19:47 - Chapter 9: HHS Leadership 1:31:26 - Conclusion: The Path Forward Thanks to Zachary Payne for assisting in the research/writing that went towards making this video.
