RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts

RFK Jr. has it backwards. Trusting experts isn’t religion — it’s survival. Religion asks for blind faith without proof; science demands proof without faith. We don’t call pilots priests, surgeons prophets, or engineers saints — we trust them because evidence shows they know what they’re doing. Rejecting expertise isn’t democracy, it’s chaos — and history shows it’s authoritarians, not free societies, who silence and smear experts.

RFK Jr. is out here spouting nonsense like he's the oracle of Delphi, but instead of wisdom, he's dispensing brainworm logic. "Don't trust experts"? Seriously? The only expertise he's got is in how to let a worm turn his brain into a petri dish. Maybe that parasite ate his common sense along with his neurons. Science and democracy thrive on expertise, not on conspiracy theories and worm-infested rants. This guy’s brain is so poisoned, he’s making flat-earthers look like Nobel laureates. Stick to the facts, not the fiction, RFK Jr. your wormy wisdom is a public health hazard.

RFK Jr.'s anti-science crusade against trusting experts is already forcing top CDC leaders to resign, turning America's health agencies into a conspiracy theorist's playground at our peril.

We create our own reality.

There are alternate facts.

We do our own research.

We fund our own science.

Do not believe your own eyes.

Don't trust the experts

Trust the worms in your head instead!

So RFK Jr is against religion and totalitarianism??

But he's working for a person/regime that is mostly backed by religious nuts and people who love totalitarianism.

Convince me this asshole isn’t still on H?

Good god I HATE this fucking asshole.

He's going to get a lot of innocent people hurt, sick or killed.

Bobby's long been a crank, even believing Sirhan was an innocent man.

I hope Republicans in Congress are happy with their choice. Surely they’re not ALL complete imbeciles like him.

R10, I am a bit concerned about my choice

If experts are unneeded, whycome he wasted time on a JD, an LLM, and study at the London School of Economics?

EVERYONE should be able to jump from High School to HHS Secretary, or Process Engineer, or Chief of Neurosurgery, right?

He's running from himself and the Functional Brain Disorder he surely has. "Only sick people need medicine; if I don't take medicine, I'm not sick."

Come Tuesday morning I believe I'll become a Brain Transplant Surgeon. Say what--there's no such thing as brain transplantation?

His own family said he was dangerous.

My MAGA, non-lawyer sister obviously doesn't believe in experts, either. She told me, a lawyer, that she was equipped to be a lawyer because she has watched Judge Judy for years .

He's bad. Even worse, every Senator that voted to confirm him, despite knowing he was dangerous.

I see this A-hole as the most immediate threat to the United States - he's going to get us all killed.

Are you serious, R14?

WOW.

RFK Jr. may just turn out to be the most dangerous and consequential of all the Trump administration.

It would be a shame if he was assassinated like his father.

Isn't Sirhan Sirhan up for parole?

Can we stop trusting experts when he calls himself one? Eventually he will.

Is it just me? or does RFK, Jr. look like Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoon?

I just wish they would build a big beautiful plane based on faith and MAGA approach to science, pack them all in, and take off at full speed.

You can use another expert’s view to question the view of experts, you can’t just be an idiot and ignore them.

[quote]you can’t just be an idiot and ignore them.

Watch me. Just watch me.

We can't stand to look at you - let alone listen to you R24.

[quote] Are you serious, [R14]?

Yes. The mind of a MAGAt. Long before the rise of Trump, she was excitedly warning me of a race riot, telling me "they" - Black people - wouldn't care that I "liked" them. I cautioned her that "her" side wouldn't care that she liked them when they found out she was Jewish.

How far the US has fallen in 6 short months. I hope other countries are capitalizing on the inevitable brain drain the US will experience.

they are

Ooooh, R28, do tell! Which nations, and which specialties/disciplines?

I wonder if, as condition of hire, they must sign a document affirming they will not share any of their research and communications with their new host countries and THEIR allies, with the United States?

For a native-born citizen, that must be mind-blowing, even if they're used to confidentiality, non-share and noncompete contracts.

Trump and his administration scares the shit out of me.

But China will get the bulk

Notice these people always lie while unleashing their propaganda. No one said ever said don’t do your own research. No one ever said that. But you shouldn’t be trusting data from conspiracy theorists over actual scientific experts.

It's all about the grift, for Trump and every one of his lackeys.

RFK Jr. would retain a 10 percent stake of fees awarded by the court in the lawsuit over Gardasil.

The one person absolutely delighted and salivating over the intentional destruction of the US government and it's economy is Putin. And all done by his Russian asset, Trump.
