It is normalizing a fantasy that a nutjob working for a fascist is someone who has any interest of meeting in the middle as opposed to burning everything down.

Read it. This is sanewashing. It's a case of the proverbial broken clock. Just b/c jrRFK is not wrong about some things does not mean that we should give him all that power to act upon his many insanely stupid beliefs.

I listened to this interview. Very informative! There is nothing objectionable about it nor was it a ringing endorsement of RFK Jr. It was really more about public health and public perceptions. Like remember when anitvaxxers were crunchy, white, left leaning mom types?

The piece was about trying to understand why people like RFK and everyone here is acting like they’re endorsing him

The tl:dr is that the doctor is saying that there are some things RFKjr wants to work on that are valid. That’s great, but it doesn’t mean he gets a pass on his apparent intention to frag the parts of public health policy that ain’t broke.

HIS BRAIN HAS A EFFING WORM...let that sink in MORONS.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day... that doesn't mean we buy the broken clock.
