It IS terrifying. So what? There were plenty of the A student types who helped beat Hitler. The founders of the country were a real bunch of eggheads. I have no patience with this. It's about survival and if their excellent brains can't deal with that then they're not as smart as they think they are

The sole mention of RFK Jr's opposition to vaccines is a throwaway aside in the 12th graf of the story, amidst some credulous useful idiocy from Zeke Emanuel. Nothing about his destruction of medical research in America. It treats him like he and Obama are pursuing the same goal slightly differently
