The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases
This is why I didn't take the shot. You saw people dying and they were the ones barely holding on my pills. Not a single elderly on my block died of Covid. They're all still alive. They're normal folks who do gardening, etc. Not obese.
It can be true that 1) America has a serious chronic disease problem fed mostly by big food, and 2) RFK Jr might be the last mofo in the world capable of getting this under control.
The picture of RFK with a super sized meal and a coke on AF1 said it all. Trump told all RFK, thanks for delivering me the votes of the pseudo health suckers. Now I own you. Big pharma and Big food will own you like they have those who came before. It will just be worse because corruption just went up several quanta.

What are you talking about? At no time did RFK, Trump, or the stinky Musk ever look good!

First, the guy is painful to listen to, an example of how not to live your life. Second, many of the American health stats are bad because people are actually tested for stuff. Among those 204 countries he mentions, how many of them even test for cancer? In other countries, they treat you in basic ways without fancy equipment, assuming not that the most rare illness is the cause or that medicine is the solution, but that the most likely scenario is that you'll get better on your own. But when you get into the real health problems that Americans have, the fact is that Trump policies will make them worse. Asthma does affect about 1/4 of Americans and promoting coal and gas and driving out emerging green technologies will result in more air pollution and hence more respiratory problems. Taking money from schools will lead to a drop in phys ed. Taking away money for healthy school lunch programs will result in more obesity. Taking money from sports programs will result in more kids staying home watching video games and getting fat. If he were actually serious about health, he'd love vaccines, the single most successful medical initiative ever in promoting human health. Most kids used to die of what are now preventable diseases.
A generation ago pharma was given a certain level of immunity for vaccines, which stimulated research (capitalism at work!), and now we have better and more vaccines. If you have an adverse reaction, the govt. pays you out of a fund. My doc told me the children's wards of hospitals were full of children when he started, but most of those infectious diseases have been eradicated due to vaccines that were developed in the last 30 years.
RFK wants to remove those protections, which means big bucks for lawyers and of course vax research will come to a screeching half.
10 or 20 years from now hospitals will be full of sick folks with infectious diseases that should not be there. RFK wants to halt all medical research. He is mentally ill.
I'm a supporter of Kennedy but these numbers are not even close if this is what he stated ( I didn't watch the video).
Adult obesity is around 40%; adolescent obesity is around 20%
Adult diabetes is around 11%; adolescent diabetes is around 0.3%
RFK, Jr.'s willingness to blatantly lie about the science is really frightening. He does it consistently.
Autism was not included in the DMS until 1968. It wasn't until 2013 that the DSM recognized the Autism as a spectrum, vastly widening the diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorder from earlier days. When I was a kid in the 1970s, Autism diagnosis was largely reserved for non-verbal kids. Kids who had behavioral issues, stimming, issues with pragmatic skills and other factors that would lead to an ASD diagnosis today were never given an Autism diagnosis back then. They just got bullied by the other kids and their parents were sending them to therapy thinking that they had some emotional disorder.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, we ate twinkies, HoHos, Ring Dings, McDonalds, drank soda, ate candy all the time, had Capt'n Crunch with Crunchberries for breakfast and fed the broccoli at dinner to the dog under the table. I did not know that kale existed until I went off to college. But during school, we had at least an hour of recess a day (usually once in the morning and again in the afternoon for 30-40 minutes) in addition to PE a couple of times a week. Then, after school, we would run out the front door and run around with other kids in the neighborhood until it got dark. My dad worked at Raytheon and had a 20 minute commute. That was considered pretty long back then. He was in middle management and had to be at the office by 8 am. He always left at 5 pm and was home by 5:30. Most everyone worked 9-5 and got an hour for lunch. People had plenty of time to cook dinner, play with their kids and get in some exercise.
