He has the answer NOW! It’s ghosts in the blood, obviously. Ghosts in the blood is the answer to a lot of questions when you completely remove science from any equation. When you disavow all expert knowledge & research- ghosts in the blood. Solved it.

kimberb123.bsky.social•2 days ago

If we’re going to capitulate to stupidity, let’s really go for it.

Your kid is sick? It’s ghosts and all you can do is pray. Always. Enjoy, America, it’s a mandate after all, right?

randomsurvivor.bsky.social•2 days ago

Some of his quacks will make up some stuff about vaccines causing autism and then call it a day. RFK then will say "see, I told you" and that is exactly what will happen. The problem is that about 30% of Americans will believe it and then we are all in trouble.

lchski.bsky.social•2 days ago

Mr. Brain worm is dangerous and needs to be removed! What is happening? Why is this all being tolerated by even one real American? Congress is obviously all Russian immigrants! Deport to El Salvador now!

vagabending.bsky.social•1 day ago

One of the dumber trends in modern “journalism” is framing stories that are 200% not questions as if they were questions.

It’s definitely downstream of the attention economy and SEO etc - and it sucks so hard.

brianplatt44444.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have to believe 90% of America knows in their heart just how insane the entire administration is.

magstarshine99.bsky.social•2 days ago

Edit: “RFK Jr, Trump’s unquestionably unqualified Secretary of HHS confirmed by GOP, says we’ll know what causes autism by September after leading a response to ongoing measles outbreak that has led to 3 deaths so far and several children in the hospital with Vitamin A toxicity.”

magstarshine99.bsky.social•2 days ago

His anti-vaxxers are working hard on the “research” to support the Regime’s conspiracies…

Every single person involved in the treason that is occurring needs to be removed and charged for their crimes - people are dying at home and abroad bc these assholes want to enrich and empower THEMSELVES.

onetruewheel.bsky.social•2 days ago

Pretty sure this means someone’s paying him to promote a book due out in September.

scassian.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump’s uncle taught at MIT so he has a gut feel for all this science stuff. I’m sure he’s already cracked the conundrum.

lchski.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well he did want to inject bleach into people during Covid! That would have really given him a feeling! Wish he’d been injected with it! (Health care worker who worked my ass off trying to save people during Covid in New York)

anniesongs.bsky.social•2 days ago

I am so tired of stupid people running the government. And it’s only been 2 months.

akma.bsky.social•2 days ago

Post had the option of "Kennedy says 'autism cause by September', research scientists say 'no way'" or equivalent; cravens trimming their sails to the blowhard's wind.

thomasley.bsky.social•2 days ago

No, it’s actually „Kennedy plans to make oft-debunked Anti-vax claim about autism official policy“

buddy-boy.bsky.social•1 day ago

As long as they're making pronouncements like this, can't they at least include the cause of Alzheimer's, and cancer. Or maybe they'll just blame vaccines for those as well.

deanbooth.bsky.social•2 days ago

He already knows what causes autism. He just needs to find some sort of evidence.

taz1.bsky.social•2 days ago

What he means is vaccines which is horrifying and he is going to stop all vaccines that horrible pos

humorousmonkey.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sure. All the real scientists have been fucking about for decades. Now shoe leather face, gravel voice moron, with no scientific credibility will solve it in 5 months. Seems logical

lchski.bsky.social•2 days ago

🤣. Yup!

jmgannon.bsky.social•2 days ago

Very logical! Brainworm has always had it solved! Just needs to keep finding new ways to roll out the brilliance of him! In his, (and the worms), most fevered desires Brainworm never imagined Sec HHS! He can Save The World!

insavga.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wonder what his answer will be. 🙄

jimc5.bsky.social•2 days ago

I say I’ll be six feet tall by September.

diagnosedbratty.bsky.social•2 days ago

Leading questions...That's what conspiracy theorists do to convince people.

jeffbarrus.bsky.social•2 days ago

We all know he's going to blame vaccines. But the Post has to pretend to be stupid about it.

thefool37.bsky.social•1 day ago

Calling a date in the future when you will allegedly make a discovery is a dead giveaway that you are completely full of shit -- either you are an idiot who imagines themselves prescient or you are a con artist who already knows what you're going claim is the cause.

goodnewsjunkie.bsky.social•2 days ago

It gives them enough time to fabricate a report declaring that vaccines, fluoride and DEI are the cause of autism. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

katupstate.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s only realistic if the outcome is predetermined, which I suspect it is.

hotchkiss13.bsky.social•2 days ago

Utter bollocks.

derek70.bsky.social•2 days ago

What a joke he is. Science doesn't work on an assembly line basis.

mky603.bsky.social•2 days ago

RFK jr will just say that vaccines cause autism BECAUSE that is what HE believes. No research necessary. This will lead to people not vaccinating their children. Thuis will be devastating for the health of the world.

disgustednewsguy.bsky.social•2 days ago

More and more, it seems broken Post/Times use questions in hedlines to weasel out of tough calls. This is why the crusty old copy editors always told us, "Question hedlines suck!" Because they're evasive chickenshit used by cowards.

chirokaren.bsky.social•2 days ago

This will be a press conference to announce what he’s decided despite no credible evidence or research what his answer has been for 20yrs.

ca-nc-galady.bsky.social•2 days ago

So RFK has magic $$$ to throw at brain development in the womb? Wait, might that not kill the fetus… er baby?

princesswendy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Autism dates back to the 1700’s. What the fuck is wrong with this man. I swear to go if he says vaccines cause Autism, I will find the brain worm myself, and shove up his ass.

fridolfsdotter.bsky.social•2 days ago

I guess it’s realistic if they make something up

aminhnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

I suspect that he will not get the results he wants and will continually do a Trump: "it's two weeks away," until they run out the clock.

oldfuddy.bsky.social•2 days ago

And he will prove the moon is made of cheese.

bershod.bsky.social•2 days ago

No it’s not fucking realistic

livingwillie.bsky.social•2 days ago

@washingtonpost.com this is trash journalism.

debsdemocracytour.bsky.social•2 days ago

He is one sick MF.

tvparrot.bsky.social•2 days ago

I know today— it is genetics. It didn’t take me until September and some quack doctors and pseudoscience.

kipwilliams.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's got the final report right in front of him, and he knew what it would say even before that.

neolithicnerd.bsky.social•2 days ago

They don't want to cure us.. they want to find a way to make us conform.

tabbys-corner.bsky.social•2 days ago

Bobby Jr is being allowed to EXPERIMENT ON AMERICANS! I don’t know about you, but I would think it’s from all the pollutants that TRUMP, MAGA and REPUBLICANS just love to dump pollutants on us, our land our skies and our water!

missri.bsky.social•2 days ago

The sane washing in the last year, has been crazy.

nnicola.bsky.social•2 days ago

It is realistic because they’ve already decided on the cause, and surprise…it’s vaccines!

cgauvin.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's because he already "knows" it's just using Chat GTP to put together all the text.

lajoiemedia.bsky.social•2 days ago

Another great example of Betteridge's law of headlines

kimnoreen.bsky.social•2 days ago

As realistic as Felon 47 stopping the war in one day.

The Post under Bezos has become hot garbage. Cancel your subscription, as I did, and you will be better off.

Newsom Tries to Understand ‘Bro Culture.’ Will It Change Him in the Process?

If his kids are really fans of Charlie Kirk, it’s a fair question.

drop-in.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dictators need junk science to help destabilize and disorient societies. Fucking WaPo and NYT are now nothing more than arms of a propaganda ministry willing spreading that junk science. This junk science reporting on autism is eerily similar to Nazi propaganda and eugenics.

reggiewallinsky.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would have put “Newsom Tries to Understand Garden Variety Assholes.”

rollingnscratching.bsky.social•2 days ago

I've never seen a phrase that made me question a dem canddiate more than his son being a fan of charlie kirk.

That's a billion red flags. What kind of parent is he? What goes on in the house?

mrnelson59.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sure, and I believe the bear story too. He was going to eat it later. But needed to stash it in the park. With the bike no one knows how or why a bike got in the story. In Central Park? Sure put him in charge of shit. At least he knows about the worm. It hits the controls when he's asked questions.
