    I’ve been told he’s really concerned about additives in food, pointing to the regulations in the EU favorably. Im also concerned about the poor quality of food regulations and enforcement in the US. So I’ve been cautiously optimistic on that front.

    Should I not be optimistic? Am I misinformed? Has he said/done things to undermine this position? I haven’t followed RFK particularly close.

    God I can’t wait to be sent to the Wellness Camps™

    Maybe they’ll pray my body whole, my genes to unfuck themselves, and my trauma to-oh, who am I kidding? Trauma is all in my head, so I really should just get over it to begin wtih.

      Don’t worry. Exercise and healthy foods will cure the incurable disease you have.

      (What, you exercised and healthy foods when developing the disease? And you still eat really healthy even though your diseases prevent you from exercising?)

      Let’s ignore all that and pretend exercise and healthy eating will cure you so the government can say it did it’s job and completely abandon you regarding the expensive medical care you actually need.

          under the RFK medicare program, guns will be cheaper than medicine but they will leave the medicine in public easy to access locations scattered across the us.

          use this information how you will.

    Not American, but what if the real evil is the pharmaceutical ghouls, and the plan is to threaten them that if they don’t bring themselves into line and stop being so greedy, the government will set the anti-vax weirdo on them and decimate their profits?

    Just a thought

      Two evils don’t necessarily make a good.

      Using him to straighten up big pharma makes about as much sense as electing Trump in order to drain the swamp, unfortunately.

      Problem is that YES the people at Big Pharma who specialize in profiteering off of the misery of others are evil ghouls, but RFKJ’s proposals will introduce ADDITIONAL suffering without solving any of the current problems that he pretends to care about and/or know anything about beyond absolute surface level.

      So it’s just going to be more shit on top of the current shit and maybe a radioactive isotope thrown in for good measure.

      And of course, it’ll make RFKJ and/or his friends much richer than they already are.
