I think it's more than fair to consider RFK to be a nut and I'm going to share one of my last WaPo articles for the month that gives examples of his nuttiness. If you don't think he's a nut, please read the entire article.

How much you want to bet that every bad thing that ends up happening will be blamed on Biden?

Only a kook would believe all of the above. Has anyone read how he wants to take people off of their antidepressants and make them grow their own food etc.? Seriously? The guy is fucking nuts!

The articles goes into a lot of detail regarding each one of his false claims and gives reasons as to why his claims are false. The only thing he says that is fairly reasonable is that Americans eat too much overly processed food. Still, that isn't going to cure the obesity epidemic, which is fairly complicated. We know, for example, that processed sandwich meat is very unhealthy, but does anyone really think that the Trump administration is going to do anything about that, considering that Trump practically lives on junk food and he wants to give big tax breaks to corporations? Okay. I digress.

State health officials say the bird flu virus was detected in a retail sample of raw milk from a dairy in Fresno, California

Click to expand...

The dairy, Raw Farm, issued a voluntary recall for one batch of cream top, whole raw milk with a best buy date of Nov. 27.
“Consumers should immediately return any remaining product to the store where it was purchased," the state health department said in a statement.

Pasteurized milk remains safe to drink, the department said.

On Friday, health officials confirmed bird flu in a California child — the first reported case in a U.S. minor.



The child had mild symptoms, was treated with antiviral medication and is recovering, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

So much for RFK Jr. and his claims about the benefits of raw milk. The AJC doesn't let me share articles but the above quote pretty much sums it up.

He wants to pause all research on infectious diseases for, I quote, "about 8 years", and tracing the origin of a bird flu outbreak is exactly the kind of research he considers wasteful.

If RFK Jr. has his way he will fire those health officials that are able to trace these illnesses to raw milk, at least at the federal level

He wants to pause all research on infectious diseases for, I quote, "about 8 years", and tracing the origin of a bird flu outbreak is exactly the kind of research he considers wasteful.

The symptoms of bird flu in humans are similar to symptoms caused by other flu viruses, Dr. Schaffner says. They include cough, sore throat, runny nose, fatigue, and muscle aches. Conjunctivitis, or eye redness, is also a symptom, which likely occurs when agricultural workers touch an infected animal and then touch their face, Dr. Schaffner adds.

“For the most part, cases have been relatively mild to this point,” Dr. Dumford says. “Most people who have had H5N1 bird flu have had inflammation of the lining of the eye known as conjunctivitis along with fever, chills, cough, and sore throat.”

It isn't an exaggeration to say that Trump's cabinet nominees are being picked not to run the federal agencies they're put in charge of, but to destroy them.
