If Trump wins and RFK Jr. is appointed Secretary of Health, suddenly, basic health issues will become politized.
Point in case: fluoride in water. CNN, NPR and others are already calling it crazy even though the US Department of Health and Human Services says the following:
"This review finds, with moderate confidence, that higher estimated fluoride exposures (e.g., as in approximations of exposure such as drinking water fluoride concentrations that exceed the World Health Organization Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality of 1.5 mg/L of fluoride) are consistently associated with lower IQ in children. More studies are needed to fully understand the potential for lower fluoride exposure to affect children’s IQ."
Why would we want in the water something that we're moderately confident that it reduces children's IQ?

I like RFK, I think his association with Trump degrades him honestly. But he is an enemy of the medi/agrichemical industrial complex (which exists only because of fiat bloat) so he will be branded as a pariah either way
I'm no fan of Trump, but I'm happy to see RFK Jr. fighting against big food and big pharma.
The politicization of EVERY issue is insane. Like it IS possible for the people you disagree with politically to be right on certain things. This issue polarization seems to exist simple to ensure that stupidity and untruths are central tent poles any viable political campaign’s platform…
Kids IQs were just too high, it was a problem.
