In images shared on social media, Kennedy can be seen getting fully underwater, including his head, and then splashing around with several of his grandchildren. Kennedy, who does not have any background in medicine or science, was a long-time anti-vaccine advocate before President Trump appointed him to be health secretary. In a 2021 book, Kennedy indicated that he does not believe in germ theory, the fundamental concept that microscopic pathogens, such as those abundant in sewage, are the cause of disease.

Prions have the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Heroin will turned his brains to mush after parasites turned it into swiss cheese

Did the brain worm leave anything for the prions to replicate in or for the poor brain-eating amoeba?

I get sometimes going “I’ll roll the dice”

  • Me: I’d like my steak medium rare
  • Government: That could expose you to some health risks because it’s not cooked well done.
  • Me: Yep, I’d rather enjoy a medium rare steak and take my chances.

What the fuck was the logic on this one though?!

  • RFK: I want to swim in sewage
  • Government: it’s a bad idea to swim in sewage
  • RFK: I LOVE SEWAGE!!!
  • Government: you are a Kennedy right? You all dont have a pool?
  • RFK: worm in brain need poop, poop in water, yum yum poop

Sunburn, maybe. Perhaps he's a "sunscreen skeptic," too.
