RFK, Jr.: Anti-vax HHS Secretary
- Thread starter Huckleberry
- Start date
Thanks to hearing Gary Brecka on Rogan I’ve been reading a good bit about nutrients and genetics wrt ADHD, blood pressure, and reflux. This thread on the MTHFR gene subreddit jumped out this morning
Gary's pretty remarkable - with his history in life insurance (he reminds you quickly and often he's not a doctor, but rather a data analyst) he's found some really interesting patterns that have helped both my wife and I feel better in our day to day lives. Some of it seems a bit out there, but he offers some practical and practicable solutions that are easy and the results are often somewhat immediate.
It appears that the GOP is expanding their "Thoughts & Prayers Initiative" to the War on Drugs.

RFK Jr. Kills Lifesaving Narcan Program, Will Replace With Thoughts And Prayers
Not actually an exaggeration.

Amphetamine and the derivatives used in ADD were previously used extensively for weight loss.
Good ole Phen-Fen would take the weight off until it destroyed your cardiac valves and kilt you!
Single agents have some use in this area today.
This is insane. He literally doesn't care if people die and he is the Health and Human Services Secretary! Of all the people in Trump's admin, he will be responsible for more deaths than anyone, he's the one that should be impeached.It appears that the GOP is expanding their "Thoughts & Prayers Initiative" to the War on Drugs.

I don't care if people want to find religion and pray for others. Great, there is no harm in that but, it is not the job of HHS to push religion at the expense of actual medicine. To end this program is just mean spirited and, quite frankly, a slap in the face to God. The Bible says "do no harm" and this man is purposely doing a lot of harm to millions of people in this country.
I don't care what comes out of his mouth, this blubbering fool is no Christian. Just like I have said about many current GOP, especially MAGA, they can claim to be Christians all the time, but the Bible says we will know the true Christians by how they act, not talk. When everything that Trump and his cronies are doing is at the expense of everyday Americans, then we have our answer. You can't hate people like they do and be a Christian.
I was today years old when I learned that the information I got from a scientifically trained data analyst largely matched the info from the functional medicine MD I'm currently listening to and that much of this advice comes from more expansive testing and newer research than the majority of GP's utilize.
Does that give him a pass on the people he's killing with his other nonsense?
Florida to become second state to ban fluoride in water, alarming experts

Put in this thread because RFKjr initiated the call to ban fluoridation.
In a state governed by Ron DeSantis, this type of public health stupidity is not a surprise.Florida to become second state to ban fluoride in water, alarming experts

This thread has some interesting comments about the reaction to the phrase MAHA. He has a PhD from Oxford in metabolic health and is a Harvard Medical student.

“I want to say this,” Kennedy began. “We’ve had four measles deaths in this country in 20 years. We have 100,000 autism cases a year. We have 38% of our kids now are diabetic or pre-diabetic. That should be in the headlines,” he said. *Applause erupted* “When I was a kid, there were 2 million measles cases a year and none of them got headlines. And we had 400 deaths. We had deaths between 1 in 1,200 and 1 in 10,000. We have so many kids now who are afflicted by chronic disease. And the media never covers them. They only want to cover measles,” he added. “And what I’ve been saying to people is, let’s pay attention to other illnesses as well—illnesses that are really, really damaging our country, that are existential for our country. We now spend almost a trillion dollars a year on diabetes and metabolic disorder,” Kennedy explained. Then he drove the point home, contrasting the media’s obsession with measles to its silence on autism. “By 2035, we’re going to be spending a million dollars a year on autism. Autism in 1970 was 1 in 10,000 Americans. Today, it’s 1 in 31. In California, it’s 1 in every 20 kids—1 in every 12.5 boys,” he said. “This is what the media ought to be focusing on, and it’s not. And because of that, we don’t have the solutions and we don’t have the cures.”
RFK Jr. rejects cornerstone of health science: Germ theory
In his 2021 book vilifying Anthony Fauci, RFK Jr. lays out support for an alternate theory.

He doesn't believe that germs cause disease.
Let me repeat that for you:
He doesn't believe that germs cause disease.
He was pressed on the issue in his confirmation hearing, and had this to say:
Which basically leaves us with a circular definition: If you're healthy, germs can't harm you, but if you're not healthy, they can. Which sort of downplays the germ as a cause.
The Ars Technica article discusses a meeting between RFKj and. Paul Offit, pediatrician and infectious disease expert at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Here's a column Offit wrote regarding RFKjr's HHS nomination:
Understanding RFK Jr.
If you want to know why RFK Jr. believes so many weird things, just read his book, The Real Anthony Fauci. Four pages explain everything.

Healthy people can easily die from infection.
For crying out loud stop worrying or caring about what the dang media is covering. That is not his job. Who cares if they are not covering his pet projects, that should have no sway in what he does. Of course HHS should "pay attention to other illnesses as well", I don't think anyone expects them not to manage, study and investigate a whole number of different illnesses and health issues at the same time. So, how about you stop firing scientists so HHS can continue to do that effectively.
I don't understand what getting on stage and whining about the media is supposed to accomplish. The funding for this stuff is not dependent on what the media is covering. So, how about he get off the stage, get behind his desk and start working on all these issues, including measles.
