1. RFK Jr. can go eat shit.

2. What a sad little man. What a dangerous man with a platform.

[NoRethugFriends]

3. Nah, not dangerous. He's already fading away.

6. he and his ilk have already cost countless lives

and will continue to cost myriad lives going into the future - even if they were all to disappear in a blink tomorrow. Their 'danger' will last for generations.

(as a 'political force' - I'm not sure if there ever was a whole lot of pull or depth there .. )

[NoRethugFriends]

8. Yes, sorry. I was only thinking about the political.

Of course you're right about the other, though I'm not sure too many people listened to him or knew about him much before the election stuff. But his ilk certainly.

7. Not fading fast enough. There's 83 dead Samoans, most of them children, because of him directly

4. Yes, banning DDT was good for the environment.

It has nothing to do with immunization.

Go play in the environment, Bobby.

5. Really 'too bad' if this is all caused by drug addiction

(as suggested/said by Lawrence.)

9. Lets do the time warp again!

The polio vaccine was introduced in 1955. By 1962, polio was all but wiped out in the US.

DDT wasn't banned until 1972, 10 years later.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is all BS. His brain is a fully functional fact free zone.

14. "His brain is a fully functional fact free zone."

May I borrow this quote? Not sure where I would use it (so many situations where it applies), but it's perfect!

15. Be my guest.

16. Thanks!

11. Did he site the study?

Has it been peer reviewed yet?

[anciano]

13. Uh oh ...he needs to actually have "facts"?

[MiniMe]

12. I don't get any sound on this video

Just as well, I really don't want to hear anything about his warped mind

17. Polio has existed for a thousand years or more.

A description of the disease was written in 1769 and named in 1840, many years before the development of DDT. Polio still exists today in parts of Asia.
