    That’s a nice list of red herrings. Those are all facts supported by evidence gathered through research. The point of the article is that RFK Jr has made, and continues to make, claims of fact that have no evidentiary basis, and in many cases directly contradict the available evidence.

        I don’t care, and neither should anyone else. The fact that there are genetic propensities for disease that are more prevalent among ethnic groups is not relevant to the substance of the article.

          It’s also expected, that’s how separate populations of a species tend to behave. See things such as hair color, eye color, ability to digest lactose far into adulthood ect. The fact these differences exist doesn’t mean you can make random claims with no evidence, or in spite of the evidence. That last one is called lying for those in the back.
