RFK Jr’s latest interview isn’t just about vaccines, it's a great example of how disordered discourse reaches government policy. It shows the perversion of the core democratic functions of Verification, Deliberation & Accountability (VDA).

Certainly seems like a backdoor in encryption is injecting unstructured data into a structured database table... Probably a good reason to keep your NSA keys safe and happy...

It's the only way these lunatics can amass power...is to destroy all democratic institutions and safeguards.

In a functional democracy VDA has what I call substantial functions. Verification means testing claims against the best evidence, deliberation means open debate in a shared reality, accountability means leaders answer for decisions and outcomes.

RFK jr's credo seems to be "I believe nothing, and thus everything I will will be true"...

In disordered discourse, those functions aren’t removed, they’re simulated. The forms remain, but the content is replaced with a closed system’s logic and values. What we see with RFK Jr is someone embedded in disordered discourse simulating VDA functions for the ends of the in group.

Verification becomes selective citation from within a narrow network of trusted sources. Deliberation becomes performance, with boundaries enforced by doctrine. Accountability becomes loyalty to an internal worldview, not the public.

On mRNA policy, RFK Jr cites “5000 studies” to question safety, mimicking evidence-based reasoning while rejecting the scientific consensus. He says people should be free to ask questions, but the acceptable answers are already set by the alt-health community’s beliefs.

Quite literally, pretty well every clinical trial ever conducted shows some documented harm from the active intervention. It's the significance of this, not the fact of it.

The effects of mRNA are unknown and still in study, some of us have decided to use other kind of vaccines from China and Russia also supported by medical studies….

Funding cuts are framed as correcting CDC “messaging failures,” shifting responsibility for the consequences onto the very institutions being undermined, externalising blame to the out-group, and reinforcing the group-think of the in-group.

This is Stage 4 of disordered discourse: institutionalisation, when a fringe narrative builds its own system of validation and embeds it in policy.

It’s also simulated VDA: the structures of democracy remain visible, but the reality inside is defined and policed by a closed epistemic system.
