How do people think he is some how the guiding light of health? Anyone born into money would be able to survive this as they can afford to get the help they need.
In one of the photos from Sunday, Kennedy is seen fully submerged in the water, with his grandchildren swimming, in spite of an ongoing National Park Service advisory against coming in contact with the water in the Washington, D.C., park “due to high bacteria levels.” The same notice says swimming and wading are not permitted due to the health risks.
…
A microbial source tracking report published in 2022 by the D.C. government said that ambient water monitoring for Rock Creek showed “chronic elevated levels” of E.coli. “Fecal coliform” bacteria stemming from sewage is also deposited into Rock Creek, the Potomac and other tributary waters from combined sewers during storms according to a 2002 report from the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority.
First is name recognition. If you hear things from a name you know you are going to give it more consideration regardless of its insanity.
Second is Jenny McCarthy broke the brains of a lot of American moms, in the 2000s? I think it was going on her massive tour of talk shows saying vaccines cause autism. She was never an expert and the only study ever cited was debunked. Massive TV talk shows put her on to nation wide audiences including Oprah, known for giving us such awesome people as Dr Oz and Dr Phil. Saying she knew her child better and the causes of autism vs what those dorks in science were saying gave some people the idea you could know better than an expert in a field.
Next the internet became what it is… an awful place where you can find a number of people to agree to damn near anything. Yea maybe before there was one mom who was anti vax in your town and everyone thought she was a kook. Now she has friends online that can provide her with wild stories and made up statistics that you cannot counter on the fly. Mommy blogs and now influencers talk about all different ways to keep your baby safe from “big pharma” and their evil vaccines but you should totally buy this $250 a month bone broth, methalyne blue pill that will keep you healthy. Disregard the fact its never actually been tested and we wont tell you where it comes from.
I think anti intellectualism is the final piece to this. No longer do people feel ok saying “I dont know” when presented with hard questions or things they habe no basis in. We have fought against things science has shown us because it doesnt match our beliefs, evolution, or it isnt immediately obvious what it hurting, climate change, or we have never experienced the horrors of some diseases, anti vaccine.
RFK Jr ticks all these. He is a Kennedy and regardless of your political affiliation you know that name. He speaks to the same anti vaccine sentament McCarthy started years ago. Ignore all those deaths in American Samoa that were the cause of him preaching his anti vaccine bs. He is also clearly not an expert so he is not made bias by those evil intellectuals in their ivory towers. He studied this stuff and didnt need to do any of that stupid testing.
Long and short of it, RFK Jr is only the picture of health to those who want him to be. They see the same stuff we all do but it doesnt matter because he says what they want to hear.
Something you missed is that he has the entire “wellness” industry fluffing him up.
There are no YouTube channels with people saying “I got vaccinated and didn’t get sick”, but there’s plenty of people making a livelihood out of demonizing vaccines.
What I don’t understand is how do people think RFK Jr is some healthy individual?
He ate raw fish and got a brain eating worm from it. He couldnt tell the difference between a goat or a dog.
He cut the head off a whale to show the kids
He found a bear and decided to eat it but later dumped it in central park
He admits to snorting coke off a toilet seat
He likes to collect skulls and penises of various animal, Dahmer did this
He works out in jeans and won’t show his legs (my guess is steroid marks in his legs)
How do people think he is some how the guiding light of health? Anyone born into money would be able to survive this as they can afford to get the help they need.
He’s a fucking junky.
You should add, swimming (and fully submerging) with his grandchildren in raw sewage.
…
Its a combination of things and time.

Sorry this was longer than I expected it to be.
