Look into this. The guy is not against vaccinations, or fast food. He's about taking harmful ingredients out of these things to help make healthier people. You didn't have the amounts of autism, and allergies in the 1960's, that we have today. I believe that is due to big pharma taking hold.

We do need someone to deal with the 3 in 4 Americans who are overweight and obese, sadly. The problem with RFK is he is right about food, high sugar, corporate capture and revolving door in regulatory agencies, and food companies being oligopolies. Americans are unhealthy.

These curves don't show what you think they show, and if you sincerely believe them, then you are getting manipulated. They show death rate and not incidence of disease. So, they don't show the incidence decreased before vaccine, they just show the progress of medecine improved the patients outcome.

The US has a mixed public health system, some good, some bad. The point, however, is that every country in the OECD has similar issues with obesity, they peaked some time ago in the US and elsewhere, and the reason that the US is doing *worse* is not obesity rates.

The point is we do not have an absence of disease; we have the opposite; an abundance of disease. I do not understand how doing the same thing is going to provide different results. Pretending what we are doing is working against all facts and measures seems to be naïve.

Hard to be anti-vax when he and his entire family of 7 children are all vaccinated, except for covid, which some did and some didn't.

Anti-vax is a loaded phrase people toss around and politicize. Some are questioning the Covid vaccines due to their rapid development. Many times, people who get labeled “anti-vax” are against mandates and legal requirements of vaccination. People want freedom of choice, which is reasonable.

You can disagree on his stance about vaccines, but he's trying to get unhealthy, toxic additions out of our food supply, and that alone is worth a lot if he succeeds. I don't think long standing vaccines are at risk of being eliminated, but if their producers could be held accountable, that's good.

Well written piece, I disagree with its message. Good public health is visible in masks and sick leave. It is visible in access ramps and speed bumps. It is visible in gender affirming and dental care. It is obtrusive. What you are normalising is healthcare as a veneer, which makes issues invisible.
