To start: Vaccine critics like Mr. Kennedy often give the impression that scientists haven’t seriously researched whether vaccines might cause autism.

In a Times Opinion analysis, we can demonstrate that researchers have.

    I’d like to know as well. I’ve heard the ding-a-ling go on about seed oils and express support for ivermectin, FFS.

    Maybe he is/was against highly processed foods? And then sat down for burgers at Steak N’ Shake? WTAF.

    Both the things in their very name are terrible for health, and central to the very problem of health in America and how people have this perception that high intake of dairy and meat are good for them, LOL. The only thing that’d make it worse is if he sat there and washed it down with some alcohol, for Pete’s sake.

    It’d be one thing if he was going to find ways to encourage more plant based alternatives, including subsidizing such things so that making the healthy choice is not just something open to people of means. But no, the dumbass is actually encouraging the re-introduction of fucking beef tallow? Good god man. It’s all the worst takes of the manosphere obsessed with “soyboys” and the hot takes of the gym science bros…he’s going to steer people away from some of the very healthiest of paths, and that is plant-based.

      My assumption is always, that there is a profit motive behind every one of his “opinions”. That his talking points are all borrowed from lobbying transcripts, used to promote whatever industry is paying him to say it.

      As far as I’m concerned, it’s all a fucking grift.
