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.

Well see, he is talking about getting the unhealthy shit out of food as an example, but he doesn't understand how vaccines work and what they do, so how is he going to be able to determine what is good vs what is bad in our food? Sodium and chloride are both deadly and terrible things to ingest, unless you combine them as salt. He doesn't understand how complex compounds work or what they are, so I have very little faith he is going to do any good.

Add that to the fact he belongs to the party that wants to deregulate, because they like making cheap shit cheaper and shittier. Also, not costing their business buddies money by having to take health and safety of their workers or their neighbours or the planet seriously. Not much left to go on here...

Right. How the heck does he not understand this? How do you invest so much time in these topics, with a seemingly reasonable amount of intellect about some things, and completely ignore all the facts screaming at your face? I mean, maybe that brain worm is doing all the work.

he belongs to the party that wants to deregulate

He ran for president in '23 as a Democrat before switching to Independent. A lot of his work has been very much about pushing more government regulation. At the same time, he's also pushing for the government to not push vaccines on people. So, I don't think it's so much about "government regulation" as a binary tent pole for him; which I do give him credit for.

Total wack job.
