@arstechnica the question is: why? The answer is usually: money.

I have not figured out yet, what the personal interest/ aka money grab of RFK is in this case... all we can assumr he isn't paid by Tylenol. 🤪 Usually politicians live to team up with pharma and the deep pockets, who has depper pockets tgan pharma and isn't scared to attack them via RFK?.

@arstechnica @briankrebs We are going to have to fix so much shit. It's 100% obnoxious and I hope these people all go to jail for their lies.

@arstechnica
What is the "truth" depends on who is in control of the information. Different admins, different "truths." That is why we need educators, people who empower other people form their OWN reasoned opinions, not just indoctrinate them with dogma. We should always remember that the powers that be silenced even Galileo and that claims of mis/dis-information (heresy) can also be used to silence dissent and good science.

@arstechnica Yes, but when Jr is high on mushrooms he is sure that there is a connection. Also, there are fairies.

@arstechnica Don‘t trust government information – unless it’s from a foreign government, i.e. Canada or some European websites.

RFK Jr is owned & operated by a member of Koch Network, Tim Mellon.

Now ask why billionaires want pandemics.

Why do rich bigots want fewer vaccinations?

Why do fossil fuel fascists want deadly outbreaks of contagious disease?

Rolling Stone

Why Are Timothy Mellon’s MAGA Millions Also Supporting RFK Jr.?

He’s a Republican megadonor from one of America’s wealthiest families. Is he propping up Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as a spoiler?
Forbes

Trump Donor Tim Mellon Has Likely Donated More Than Half His Fortune To Politics

The banking heir may be the first wealthy American to do so, thanks to his $130 million donation to pay troops during the government shutdown.

@arstechnica This is why I know karma is not real. This man would have spontaneously combusted by now if it was. Hell 90% of the Republican party would have exploded into a fireball in the last year. Stephen N. Miller's explosion alone would have resulted in seeing a mushroom cloud over the east coast.

@arstechnica

It's such shifty shitty wording.
Technically there is no scientific proof they don't cause autism, sure.
But that's only because of the very nature of inductive logic.
Science can't prove a negative.
There however is still absolutely no scientific proof it does cause autism, same as before.

There is also no scientific proof that it isn't caused by aliens.
