Lots of people tell me that Bobby Kennedy Jr. was great as an environmental attorney but that he went nuts when he started to go against pharma. This cracks me up because many people are missing a lot of information. When I first met Bobby, in the early 90s, he was cleaning up the Hudson River. In order to do that he had to sue corrupt governmental agencies and the corporations that paid them, who were polluting. During law suits he was able to get ‘discovery’ which are documents that the other side did not want anyone to know. So you learn a lot from that. He transformed the Hudson from being so full of toxins that you couldn’t eat the fish, and was so full of oil that the Hudson even caught on fire, into one of the most ecologically diverse rivers on the east coast all the way down to Ecuador. Bobby sued the EPA, Ford motors, General motors and basically all the people that were harming the Hudson. The success from the Hudson’s transformation showed that this was a good way to keep our planet’s water safer. He created WaterKeepers Alliance all over the world. It’s the largest clean water charity in the world. He also sued for Indigenous Indians, the NAACP, the people polluted by miners, the island of Vieques and its habitants, who were bombed for US. military practice, oil companies who were destroying the Amazon, and so much more. When people were being harmed by corrupt gov. or corrupt corporations, he’d sue them to change it so that were not able to hurt others and the environment like that any more or they had to pay big fines for the damage they created. Magazines called him ‘Hero of the Planet’. Another called him ‘The Kennedy Who Mattered’. He was appreciated and applauded. Then, he met many moms with children who had austim, or other diseases or whose children had died. These moms begged him to help them. Bobby didnt want to do that, he loved what he did for the environment, but he listened to these moms and became moved to work to stop this from continuing to happen to other families. Most of those moms thought that their children had been injured after vaccinations. So he began to investigate. What he learned made him go after the healthcare industry and the governmental agencies that were supposed to regulate the health care industry to keep us safe, but were not. He did this in the same way that he cleaned the Hudson. But this time, he was now against one of the biggest, most corrupt Industries worldwide. That pharma industry pays 66% of the US congress, it pays presidents, it funds many medical schools, it funds many universities, many social media platforms, many scientific journals, many doctors, many hospitals, and much of the news. Pharma funds the FDA. It even funds many big charities. So when Bobby began to help these moms and their children, the Pharma industry had a plan that had actually been used by the Cigarette companies. The plan is that they smear the people making claims that the cigarettes or pharma created harm, they malign them, they lie about them, they pay doctors to write pseudo science disputing the harms they may have created or praising the cigarettes or pharma, talking about their glorious benefits. And they tell people that those who oppose them are conspiracy theorists, liars, wrong, have no science, and more. That’s why you see so many doctors, news companies or governmental agencies, etc who are paid by pharmaceutical companies, saying that Bobby has conspiracy theories. That he used to be great, but is not anymore. And those same Pharma companies, in the last 10 or 12 years have paid over 35 Billion dollars in fines for fraud, lying, false advertising, hiding the science, and more. To me, Bobby has not changed his values. He has not changed the way he helps people. He has not gone nuts. He just went against one of the most corrupt and unscrupulous industries in the world. And in doing so, he’s become more aware of how corrupt the pharmaceutical industry is and how much it corrupts almost every area of government and our lives. The pharmaceutical industry wants things to stay the way they are. Bobby wants the government to work for you again, and stop working for pharma. Bobby is fighting against the establishment. Bobby wants honesty, transparency and integrity and to make sure Vs are safe and effective. He is David, going against Goliath; he is unstoppable. His integrity, his capacity to handle all the pharmaceutical and other shenanigans is remarkable. He is balanced, he exercises, does meditation, prays and keeps learning. Bobby has not gone crazy, but his opponent is one of the craziest and richest industries in the world. Take any conspiracy theories you think Bobby has said with a grain of salt. And any lies about Bobby, take them with a grain of salt too. He’s been fighting corrupt government and corporations for over 40 years. He’s been fighting the status quo, the establishment.

RFK Jr. explains America’s chronic disease epidemic “We have the highest chronic disease burden in the world. When my uncle was president, 6% of Americans had chronic disease. By 1986, 11.8% [did], so it doubled. And then by 2006, it was 54%. We don’t know what it is today, because NIH will not release those data. We are mass poisoning this generation of kids. We saw this explosion of neurodevelopmental disorders, all of these diseases that, prior to 1989, we never heard of them… And then all of the autoimmune diseases suddenly exploded that year… The allergic diseases suddenly appeared, again, in 1989 [and] early 90s. Our chronic disease burden… is one of the reasons why we had the highest death rate from Covid. We had in this country 16% of the Covid deaths [worldwide], and we only have 4.2% of the world’s population. So why are people getting medals for this? CDC says that the average American who died from Covid had 3.8 chronic diseases… Why are we so sick? And why is nobody looking at that? We know that it’s an environmental toxin. Genes don’t cause epidemics. Something changed around 1989. [NIH] is supposed to tell us what’s making us sick… it doesn’t do that. What it does is it tries to monetize science for the pharmaceutical industry. It is now the biggest incubator of new pharmaceutical drugs, and NIH gets to keep the royalties on those products, and NIH scientists individually get to keep royalties. We shouldn’t allow public officials to make money on products they’re supposed to be regulating. The mercantile ambitions of those individuals is obviously going to subsume the regulatory function of the agency.”

The government’s response to Covid violated our constitutional rights, including the first, fourth, fifth, and seventh amendments. It was a militarized and monetized response; health was never the priority.

Replying to @mattpocockuk
@mattpocockuk I really loved the `Prettify` type you shared the other week. With the help of GPT4 i came up with a version that applies itself recursively that seems to work really well - I thought you might like it Im posting a link to a playground example below #typescript

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

I wish `readonly` was the default in TS. Like if you wanted a type to be mutable you had to type it as `mutableonly` and if you didn't it defaulted to a `readonly` type #Typescript

Destructuring an array in TS doesn't account for the fact that the array may be empty. This ends up being a runtime error. Is there a workaround for this massive foot-gun? typescriptlang.org/play?#cod… @mattpocockuk aka: Typescript Jesus - what's your take? #TypeScript #TS #Javasript
