RFK Jr has always been extremely weird and cringe and it's incredible to see both MAGAs and Very Serious Scientists like Jay Bhattacharya twist themselves in knots to pretend this is normal, cool even, totally not nanny state shit to take away your twinkies while saying vaccines cause autism.

While I do not disagree with his current cringy focus on junk food, my larger, much larger, concern is about his apparent goal of making Americans sick again.

I mean, the great people of the state of New Mexico seem to have disregarded his ~advice~ about vaccines ...

Measles vaccinations rose 291% among New Mexico adults during outbreak

... In January 2025, a measles outbreak erupted on the western edge of Texas and soon spilled over to New Mexico and other states. The overall outbreak would become the largest the country has seen since 2000, when measles was declared eliminated from the US. In Texas, it was the largest outbreak recorded since 1992. And in New Mexico, it was the first measles outbreak the state had even seen since 1996.

But the trajectory of the two states' measles cases diverged. Texas declared the outbreak within its borders over on August 18, with an end tally of 762 cases. In New Mexico, officials declared its outbreak, which began in February, over on September 26, with a total of just 99 cases.

One of the key differences, according to a new study, was that in New Mexico, the rapid spread of the highly infectious virus spurred a massive surge in measles vaccinations among children and adults. Overall, shots of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine increased 55 percent statewide from January to September compared to the same period in 2024.

The study, appearing in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, further broke down the increase in shots. Over the whole year, the number of MMR doses given to children (defined as less than age 18) increased 18 percent compared to 2024 -- from 27,988 in 2024 to 32,890 in 2025.

Doses in adults (aged 18 and up) skyrocketed by a whopping 291 percent -- from 5,748 in 2024 to 22,500 in 2025. ...

Anyone care to guess how long that information remains on the CDC website?

Wait. Is this the video where Heroin Bob uses a Twinkie as a suppository? Asking for a certain segment of the viewing audience...

Nope. I'm not sure many people would.

But the cartoonish way they go about it and the fact that their rationale is rife with misinformation and outright lies is insane.

None of this actually changes the fact that even our food is geared towards corporate profit more than actual nutrition or health. Until the almighty dollar falls from its pedestal nothing will change.
