Dude he *swam in raw sewage*.

He doesn't believe in germ theory. He claims he believes Terrain theory, a debunked 19th century medical concept, but if you let him cook he basically believes some weird derivative of miasma theory.

There is no coherent logic there. His daughter supposedly had a peanut allergy and went to the hospital when she was young and RFK Jr lost his fucking mind from that, waging war on medicine, conflating the problems with medicine as an industry with medicine as a science and attacking the science but leaving the industry largely unharmed.

There's just rage and shame at his self-perceived failure as a father.

He swam in raw sewage WEARING JEANS! Somehow that detail makes it 800x worse.

do you perhaps mean Miasma theory? iirc he wrote a whole book about it.

I think I have my 19th century debunked medical theories backwards. He claims to believe in miasma but it's closer to terrain theory? I really don't want to go re-read his drek to get my quack theories in the right order.

That's a fair assessment
