Kennedy is a germ-theory denier who believes people can maintain their health not by relying on evidence-based medicine, such as vaccines, but by clean living and eating

I fucking hate this timeline

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 41 points 3 weeks ago

Clean eating, like park bear and whale carcasses!

Don't forget to bathe in raw sewage.

[-] tonytins@pawb.social 14 points 3 weeks ago

No wonder he got that brainworm.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

He used to pop the eye balls out of birds heads and eat them raw

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago
  1. fucking why?
  2. how did you learn this abomination?
[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

He's a sick bastard.

There's a three part Behind the Bastards on him that covers his childhood, young adult, and current craziness. I found part two the most interesting.

Even if he believed that, why isn’t he calling for more regulation oversight for the FDA and stringent quality controls on the food production supply chain as a whole?

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 16 points 3 weeks ago

Because like everyone in Trump's government, he is there to gut, cripple, and undermine the public's trust in our institutions.

[-] vividspecter@aussie.zone 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Clean living in his view just means focusing on "natural" things. Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything "artificial" is dangerous. So he's certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn't believe they are dangerous.

[-] pupbiru@aussie.zone 9 points 3 weeks ago

he in fact believes pathogens in the food supply are necessary to build your immune system

[-] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

I wait for the new FDA “preferred partners” program

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Must be why he looks like he has a bad liver or too much colloidal silver, like some dumb smurf-hillbilly Hoosier

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

This is all going to be covered by a snarky longform YouTube (or equivalent) documentary in 200 years.

Just when I'm about to retire, Medicare will only cover chiropractors and horse paste.

Have you tried suntanning your asshole?

I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t Nature and its subject-specific varieties considered some of the most reputable and prestigious scientific publications?

[-] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 40 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, getting published in Nature is a career gold star achievement. They’re very high impact (meaning many other scientific papers cite their articles).

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 5 points 3 weeks ago

If we go by impact factor (a measure of how often the articles a journal publishes are cited elsewhere), various Nature publications are six of the top ten journals in the world and Nature itself is 15th

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. It's pretty much the definition of a high quality peer-reviewed journal.

[-] assembly@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

So the modern approach to healthcare is back to leeches and blood letting huh. Did not have that on my 2025 bingo card but in retrospect I really should have.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?

This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 weeks ago

Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?

That's EXACTLY what they did, yeah. Just like when they appropriated "fake news" which was originally a term describing their own disinformation.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Which also nicely mirrors the Nazis calling everybody that contradicts them Lügenpresse.

The US is like a reality tv show, except it's less believable.

"precious tax payers money shouldn't go to unused subscriptions to junk science"

Ahh yes, but it should be used to make the incomprehensibly wealthy, even more wealthy. I really wish there was a god.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 weeks ago

There must be (or ought to be) a term for this type of conspiracy that requires practically all experienced professionals in a given field to be complicit.

You could convince me that one or even a group of researchers were acting with nefarious intent, but everyone? It's just an absurdity.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago

It's pretty much the definition of the "grand conspiracy theory". It requires the combined effort of thousands of people across hundreds of countries. It's insanity.

It's just a repeat of that AIDS conspiracy group that rejected evidence on HIV and made their own "science" mag which folded when everyone died of AIDS

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Damn, what a bad ~~week~~ ~~month~~ ~~decade~~ century for US healthcare!

[-] deathbird@mander.xyz 9 points 3 weeks ago

They're probably already in the data set of whichever LLM they use to write their policy documents anyway, so sure, fine. 🙄

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 3 weeks ago

Well at least we know which publication refused to capitulate to morons.

I wonder which ones they kept.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not as concerned with this as I am with the fascism, because this will at least kill us indiscriminately

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Everybody knows that real science is peerless.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 weeks ago
