Hotez deserves criticism but RFK is a complete clown. An old school Jenny Mccarthy style anti vaxxer. Shouldn't be given the time of day.


After COVID, it's tough to know what's crazy and what isn't. There are things that I wouldn't have even considered a few years ago that I now feel like I need to consider. It's tough to know what's true anymore, especially not having a science background (and realizing that a lot of scientists and doctors don't truly "follow the science").


RFK started the podcast with claims that cell phones and WiFi cause cancer. He has also claimed that gender dysphoria is because of chemicals in drinking water.

It's safe to say he's a little looney.


That stuff sounds looney, but how do I know it's actually wrong?


Common sense? I mean, if you want to go down one of those rabbit holes, there are some dark corners of the internet next to the QAnon and flat-earthers that I'm sure you can find.
These studies are both from the NIH.

Cell Phone: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2569116/

To just be dismissive of RFK's claims without doing any research is nonsensical.

A world where wifi and cell phones cause cancer is an inconvenient world. Let's just ridicule the idea instead of confronting it.

Proving a negative is almost always impossible. You can't prove that the Loch Ness monster DOESN'T exist, bro.

Doesn't stop me from looking.

But seriously, there's no NIH study about the Loch Ness monster. There are about the other "conspiracies" listed above.

Take this craziness to the F16 board or whatever yall call it, and spend quality kids with your kids before they're taken by smallpox or 5g or whooping cough.

This is the tine board, now act like it.

note posted with your links says "As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, the contents by NLM or the National Institutes of Health."

provided for additional context to dispute your assertion these are "from the NIH".

Believing that "common sense" tells you what's carcinogenic and what's not puts you on the level of those you mock.
