RFKJr is a menace to public health & science.

“While Kennedy has a long history of promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, he has not explicitly promoted chlorine dioxide as a treatment. However, in January, during his Senate confirmation hearing, he referenced chlorine dioxide while praising Trump for “looking at all of the different remedies” for Covid…”

When government uses “anxiety” as an excuse to not deal with a problem, the term for this is Political Abuse of Psychiatry.

Some in the government used shaming “fear” of sickness and death to try to keep people engaged with the economy despite the threats of covid, and now the Trump administration is using “climate anxiety” to justify stopping research on climate, in order to attempt to hide the public health effects that would come from environmental damage.

Many will be following the politics, not the science.

Many scientists, medical professionals, and public health leadership followed the politics when it came to masks in the pandemic, or vaccines, and even were swayed by right-wing advertising that targeted liberals. And all this will only get worse now that the federal purse in the US is held out for those who are willing to sell out patients and public health.
