Your Moment of WTF, With RFK Jr.

 

RFK Jr. said it’s “mythology” to claim that vaccines eliminated polio and suggested the banning of DDT is what actually eliminated polio, not vaccines. pic.twitter.com/AGLtUcMk1l

I'm beginning to wonder if he isn't anti-vaxx because he also doesn't understand germ theory.

UPDATE: Viruses are our friends. 

UPDATE: The reason I'm a little hyper-focused on a probably-unwell man with obvious crackpot fragments embedded in the middens that are his mind, is because there are people who become enamored by charisma and backstory. I'm sure he's sunk by now. You're probably certain he's sunk by now. 

And yet obviously unwell and not terribly bright people with the benefit of fame, money, and the strategic backing of terrible people often prosper well ahead of expectations. It's not enough for me to think he's sinking, you understand. It's also about the ideas he's been put out there to promote. Skepticism of the government and the concept of expertise. The disgraceful anti-vax absurdity that threatens to bring diseases thought virtually eradicated back into play. And his support of bitcoin as a backing for the dollar. 

How do you back the dollar with nothing, let alone a nothing that is created by many, many acres of rainforest's worth of burnt carbon fuels--and still be called remotely environmentalist?  It is not itself obviously at this point in the game even a stable currency. And only a fool or a major Bitcoin investor could think otherwise or oh.  Maybe a bit of both? 

I want the feedback energy on his epic fail to reverb back on all the bullshit he's on about and cut it back to stumps. Right back to the RW ops who tried to send him this way.
