    Sure, but why would those be listening to the American health guy.

    It might hurt to hear, but pretty much everything about the guy is deeply US American. Even the way he got there.

      Ok… why do you think that would “hurt” me? I’m not aware the US kinda sucks.

      I don’t think anyone is really listening to him, smart or not.

        Because you got a little defensive when I mentioned that the people listening to him are Americans.

        And there ARE many, many Americans who listen to him. Maybe not the absolute majority, but we wouldn’t be here in this situation if a sizable part of the US population wasn’t the type of person to fall for this kinda guy.

          I didn’t get defensive. I was suggesting that saying “Americans listen to him” is a pointless generalization. Okay, so Americans are the ones who pay the most attention to someone who is a government official in America. Okay. Plenty of uninformed, non-scientific people elsewhere too. So I don’t know what your point about that was.

          RFK’s ideas are not very novel and there are many people who champion those lines of thoughts besides him. He is not influential.

            I don’t know how we got to you defending him now, but I think that’s a sign that we jumped the shark with this conversation.

              What in the serious hell are you talking about? I am in no way defending RFK. Now idea where you got that from. I repeated that I don’t think many people listen to him. That’s not defending him. Yes, you’ve gone off the rails in this failed conversation attempt.
