RFK Jr. Watch

RFK Jr. is a right wing, conspiracy pushing, anti-vaccine candidate. He is presently running for the Democratic nomination for presidential candidate. The particular problem with the RFK Jr. candidacy is that he enjoys widespread support due to the Kennedy name and the values that the name has historically supported.

The present purpose of this community is to spread awareness of RFK Jr's actual positions and viewpoints in an effort to diminish his utility as a chaos agent and a spoiler in the upcoming election cycle.

Directly from the article:

This article is written for those who may be on the fence about vaccines and thinks there’s some sort of balanced discussion or debate pushed by the anti-vaccine crowd. It’s time to dispel the false-balance discussion pushed by pseudoscience for the simple reason that they lack logic and scientific evidence to support their claim.

The anti-vaccine pretend debaters, like Kirsch and RFK Jr, fail on the science and the logic for many reasons. I am going to enumerate them below.

He is a very funny man. I've only seen one video from him before this when someone was trying to explain "Loss" to me and linked to his explanation.
