Many of us Libertarians and Independents held our nose and voted for Trump because of RFK Jr. Food health, obesity, chronic disease, and the health of our children is a major crisis in our country. We want studies and data to find out why the children in our country are the unhealthiest in of any advanced country. Many European countries do NOT put fluoride in their water supply, and have banned over 20 toxic ingredients and preservatives that the FDA allows in our food system. We want more data and studies to find out why 1 in 36 children now have autism in our country. The fact that food lobbyists and Big Pharma lobbyists are trying to block RFK Jr. from being confirmed is telling.

[@mczen84]

There are massive amounts of studies and research done the last 60 years. One thigh RFK does not do is follow research and data.

[@marcyclay2475]

@@mczen84 You mean studies done by government agencies?. We want independent nonbiased nonpolitical studies. Even the NIH in the last few years have said that our additives and preservatives in our food and long-term, chronic effects have been woefully understudied, their health risks inadequately assessed and FDA’s inability to effectively manage the safety of hundreds of chemicals is putting our children’s health at risk.

I'd rather watch the video called "Who is Bobby Kennedy?" (30 minutes) instead of mainstream media's 8-minute video that does not actually tell me about who he is but does all the name-calling and rehashing all the crazy headlines. This doesn't tell me anything about him, it tells me what's going on right now. As a former democrat (now independant) I'm SICK of the media telling me I should be afraid and scared of the world-I WANT HOPE!

[@MrJblive]

Facts! Don’t worry the same thing they did to trump . They will try to do the same to people around trump. But it will do the opposite of what they want. Bobby will be loved by the time these next 4 years are done !! He’s about to expose all the “misinformation “ that we will find out is actually facts and the mainstream media lied to us

Pretty much all scientists that publish in scientific journals. The names of scientists are always published on each paper. Funding is also declared on papers. These are all publicly available. It may be helpful to you or others who ask these questions to learn how is science made essentially, and look at some scientific journals and some published papers. All journals are open to anyone to read, you may need to pay a fee for some papers but if you have a library subscription through school, you can typically view most papers for free, or you can email the author directly. Again, all this has always been publicly available

The more I watch videos like this, the more I hope someone develops an AI "fallacy checker". Maybe I have too much free time on my hands, but I will point out a few obvious logical fallacies that stood up to me. 1). Presenting statements about not believing in authority as a negative. Actually, not trusting "authority" is a correct logical (as in philosophy logic) way of reasoning. 2). Milk: The argument against raw milk is basically as wrong as saying people shouldn't drive because you can have a crash. Many everyday actions have inherent risks. I don't know if the benefits of drinking raw milk are outweigh the risks, but I do know that highlighting some risk of it is not enough to make the conclusion RFK was wrong.
