"Science isn't political!"
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
RFK's entire health policy is oriented around the false belief that all disease is the result of dietary choices, i.e. metabolic disorders that can be treated with supplements. The supplements market is unregulated and larger by far than the pharmacological market, but it doesn't really get a slice of public health money.
RFK is trying very hard to make it possible for government dollars to subsidize pseudoscience health bullshit and the easiest way to do it is by promoting the idea that the cause of good health is diet and exercise and the cause of bad health is bad diet and no exercise. Which isn't strictly wrong, but it is a way for him to crowbar in fascist ideas about people with hereditary diseases and the disabled and so on, while cashing in on that sweet unregulated supplement money
