He was a terrible student. Textbooks never helped him before.

Why wouldnt a spoiled rich cocksucker like worm brain not know what hes talking about

As a retired educator, I’m more alarmed by the numbers of people who believe RFK Jr.’s quackery over basic science. He would not be in office without them. Once we get through this shit, we simply must ramp up science, critical thinking, civics, ethics, etc. standards in all schools.

Never mind college entrance exams. We need a test you have to pass before they let you out of high school, into the world!

Or even tests to get to the next grade.

There are people who have simply not learned what they need in order to be equipped for adult life in a modern democratic society. It's not from lack of ability or capacity, for they fill the holes with nonsense, superstition, cults, and conspiracy theories.

Yep. It’s not an accident that Germany ramped up critical thinking in schools after Hitler.

We have a combined failure of education and socialization. Of civics, ethics, science, math, and logic. These things can and should be taught and learned.

Absolutely! There’s a reason the fascists want to tear down public education even further. Higher standards in all these subjects are a threat to the lies they depend on.

i call bs on rfk. it's either due to covid or non-parental baby-sitter substitution syndrome (ie using phones, ipads for everything, including how to avoid obstructions in your path). obviously rfk is some kind of expert.

There is a wellness concept pushed by Casey Means, RFK Jr's choice for Surgeon General, that "mitochondrial dysfunction" is the root cause of chronic and age-related disease. I'm sure that's what RFK refers to, not MELAS syndrome and Leber's optic neuropathy. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

No doubt some pseudoscience wellness influencer nonsense, not even any plausibility.

Sure, the role of mitochondria in aging has been studied for years. But to "see" mitochondrial dysfunction in children at the airport...that is insane.

Mitochondria are essential organelles that serve "multiple" vital functions in a cell. WTF is he actually referring to? Since Kennedy is brain dead, it is hard to tell.

This was a helpful article to introduce the topic and guard against the sloppy thinking and verbiage that is here and will keep coming. Thank you!

High school level maybe a bit over his head.

👏👏

Omg he does need it!

PLEASE can the quacks stay with "quantum" as the wishy-washy esoteric explanation for any of their woo and not also take mitochondria from us? 😭

No fair. Made me laugh.

WTAF😳

There is something Darwinian about a group of people selecting their children out of the gene pool. Unfortunately, they'll take a lot of others out as well.

Apparently he a thinks a lifetime of self-directed study in recreational chemistry makes him a scientist. The idiocy is staggering.

Way to go RFKJr.... I've never seen such incompetence in all of my many years! A brain dead, worm eaten, shell of a man, making decisions for me about the way I need to remain healthy in today's society. Crawl back in your hole and enjoy the euphoria that the worm has given you as Trump's yes man...

He's not smart enough to comprehend it.

I would send copies of my books on vaccination and on pandemics, too, but they are for 7-11 year olds and prob too hard. Plus we can no longer post things to the USA from my country

i just want to shout have you had a look in the mirror at your own fucking face!

Can’t fix crazy

A nice thought but I doubt it will be effective.

If I ever go to prison, I'm going to change my name to mitochondria. Why? Because it is the powerhouse of the cell!

RFK reporting on the kids he spied on:

You're being awfully generous DR. High school level books are clearly too advanced for their reading comprehension.

He fried too many brain cells to be able to comprehend high school level textbooks.

Not sure his ego would allow him to read it. He's had these things explained to him over and over and seemingly has a forcefield in place to deflect all information that conflicts with his misinformed world view.

That worm starved to death for sure.

Maybe we could also include PSAs on how chewing tobacco and tanning beds are linked to increase risk of cancers too. He could learn a thing or two.

Fail son loon RFK Jr.

A fixed delusion does not usually change, even when confronted with the strongest evidence.

Oh please that's the worm screwing with your last brain cells.

That was just his reflections from a window.

There is no hope of educating the worm 🪱

Kennedy has brain damage- and he looks extremely unhealthy. Push-ups do not mean you are healthy. His face is a twisted mass of illness & evil

His voice is worse than Ma Kettle!

Ma Kettle?! That's an old old reference, daddio. (Which I got, so....)

Does he think jet lag is a disease?

Millionaires and their weird bubbles.

His stupidity and arrogance threaten us all.

High School level is above their intellectual abilities. Sadly

The looks I get when I explain with my very limited healthcare training what mRNA is to people who think it's the equivalent of a death warrant never ceases to amaze me how absolutely uneducated and clueless these knuckle draggers are.

That statement he made has Dunning-Kruger written all over it.

This Ph.D. in biochemistry is appalled by the pseudoscience rhetoric. However, it provides excellent examples for my science vs. pseudoscience course.

My kid learned that last year, in sixth grade...

I feel for anyone who has to try to influence policy with this demented grifter.

Retired RN: so he’s whipping out his microscope at airports and creeping out on kids organelles? also everyone looks tired at airports. Every time he speaks it’s like he just learned some random science word and then jumbles it around in a word salad.

“Overburdened with Mitochondrial challenges” what the heck does that mean? Running a unbiased sample at an airport where kids sit on an airplane for hours 🤔

It means the cells force their mitochondria to learn how to dance Tango, and the mitochondria don't like it.

Inflammation is more of an immune system over response, not sure if mitochondria are the key here as to the source of the issue diet is probably the biggest lever other than infections

Trying to find a link to reality in the words and musings of an idiot like RFKjr is a fool's errand.

Unfortunately he would have to want to learn - we are all in peril
