After his heroin, cocaine and marijuana years he seemed to be involved in a number of clean water and clean air issues. He had some endorsements for Al Gore and John Kerri. Being the hard core environmentalist as I am, it made sense, but another might claim conspiracy. Wiki did not comment on any bogus claims then. Sometime after 2012 and coincidentally about the time he pulled a worm from his brain he switched channels and started to focus on vaccines. Wiki cited several examples of unsubstantiated or false claims based on current best science. His attacks on Fauci were unfounded, out of line, and probably in part resulted in threats to Fauci and his family.

He might be on track for improving the structure of our national healthcare systems. I think even the dems are in agreement that they could be due for an overhaul. And he talks about food safety and is probably onto something. We are an unhealthy country relative to other first world countries and some of that is related to ultra processed foods and food additives. Food products we export overseas sometimes have to be modified to meet minimum European standards. And that might just be a start. In his walk back and clarifying remarks I think that is what Polis was getting at.

Like Trump, what he says and what he does may be totally different. Of the various poor actors selected for Trump's cabinet, he's not in the top five for me as players in a circus, but a close runner up. I could no way listen to a four hour interview, so I could be corrected or enlightened.
well like I said, I took one for the simple living team in that four hour extravaganza.Tips and condolence cards will be accepted.


I think he’s on the right track about Fauci welding outsize powers. Let us remember that Tony Fauci is the highest paid government employee in our country, making more than the President, although his salary is peanuts to him compared to his other sources of income. Fauci controls what medical research is done in this country and more importantly, he throttles research that does not don’t work favorably for his pharmaceutical buddies. The wrong topics get squashed.

My guess is Fauci is not the only one who’s doing that kind of thing but he’s the name we all know. RFK Jr. also painted a path leading to Fauci being responsible for the Covid vaccine escaping at the Wuhan lab, starting with Fauci actually funding a very particular study or set of studies that allowed this particular mutation to occur.

There is no way I can verify any of this because I don’t have knowledge, background or even the right vocabulary. But just based on what I’ve seen RFK jr. do in areas where I have some familiarity, I think he finds facts that fit his narratives even though I think there’s a great deal of truth in his view of Dr. Fauci’s work and influence at NIH.

RFK made some startling and seemingly crazy accusations that I suppose are not new to anyone who follows him, but they were new to me. You had already mentioned the Sirhan Sirhan problem where RFK Junior doesn’t think Sirhan’s bullet killed his father. I suppose that’s possible given the weirdness of the time.

he also claims Bill Gates funded vaccines that sterilized women in India, never fessed up to it, and it was discovered by scientists of the Catholic Church. that sounds crazy to me.
