To start: Vaccine critics like Mr. Kennedy often give the impression that scientists haven’t seriously researched whether vaccines might cause autism.
In a Times Opinion analysis, we can demonstrate that researchers have.

(not who you’re replying to) he has the rare good opinion. Like he’s big on healthy eating, exercise, and regulating junk food - all of which are ideas I can totally get behind.
…but even his best ideas are accompanied by pseudoscience reasoning and/or dogshit plans.
Broken clocks and all that.
Yeah, if he wants to do something about junk food and promotes actual healthy eating backed by science ( I suspect his idea of “healthy” differs from the science-based one given his hysteria about something like seed oils and I haven’t really seen him get behind plant-based. In fact, his problematic opinions are likely to hamper the uptake of a truly health diet for most Americans.) and promotes exercise, great, let him do that as a private individual.
It’s not worth the cost he’ll deal to this country medically when it comes to all the other shit he’s doing. Taco and him are ruining the promise of mRNA vaccines right now and they are likely to kill hundreds of thousands with such policies.
Those are some hot takes. I guess the previous administration was promoting sedentary lifestyles and eating nothing but Snickers?
Seriously - the only thing he gets rights are “the feels”. When it comes to solutions he’s crazy and dangerous.
All the “good” ideas this administration has are precedents to authoritarian mandates. They promote healthy eating so they can deny insurance claims etc. if you indicate (or if they suspect) you’re not doing it.
One of the hallmarks of “alternative medicine” has always been to blame the victim when their quack remedies don’t work. It’s why they love to promote diet and exercise as “the key” to a healthy life. It’s easy to find something wrong with anyone’s diet and claim that is why they got cancer.
