I wonder why he says we should fortify our immune system if he doesn't think germs cause diseases? Like, what is the immune system doing making cells that can eat bacteria?

O... Ok! The situation in taking care of itself.
THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS
Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it's gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.
You do know that rivers and creeks can go on for miles right? And that they will widen and narrow at various points?
Don't get me wrong, it's entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to "prove his point" about germ theory being wrong. But it's inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.
I get where you're coming from, but in the interest of keeping my comment simple I left out that he claimed to be hiking in Dumbarton Oaks Park, which is not far (and downstream) from the picture I posted such that it wouldn't be plausible that it would be that narrow.
But I'll also point out the level of incredulity my comment is getting on a social media site, vs. RFK Jr.'s, which should strike anyone familiar with Rock Creek as almost certainly wrong. Yet everyone in the whole news media is either willfully ignoring this or just too lazy to look into it. And honestly it pisses me off because this lack of giving a fuck about basic facts from reporters who we falsely imagine as being employed in reporting facts shows how much we're in a post-truth society and why we got a con artist as our president.
How is he still alive?
Heroin kills everything.
I think I know how a lot of people are thinking right about now. lol
He's just a straight up secret nurgle cultists, that was showing his devotion and flouting it
That if anything's gonna kill these motherfuckers, it's most likely to be hubris that finally does it?
I've said all along that these people will ultimately be done in by their own virtuosic incompetence.
Managing an operation as complex and huge as the US Government by traitors, incompetents, narcissists, Nazis, drunks, addicts, weirdos, propagandists, and criminals is not sustainable. They will eventually burn their own house down, and we should surround the fire, and when one of them tries to escape, we should catch them, and toss them right back in.
Encourage this behavior?
Cooking your chicken is gay and will give your children drag queens or something.
this guys gonna get the fucking Darwin award if he keeps doing this 🤦
He's got kids and grandkids.
Darwin award doesn't apply here.
He gets the Herman Caine award.
Our best chance is that he gets one of these diseases that is effectively treatable with a vaccine.
Thing is, even with that, he'd just take the vaccine and proceed to lie about it for profit. His father must be turning over in his grave.
Vaccines are for prevention, they don't work as treatment.
Yeah, that's true.
But I think we both know that if he caught something he'd still get it treated privately and lie about it publicly, lest his grift be endangered, but I'd love it if he got polio and had to try and keep it quiet.
I hope he gets sick and suffers
Maybe we can convince him to drink some of it
That man deserves dysentery
Like most con men, RFK is using people's ignorance of what odds mean. If the chance of getting sick from swimming in that water is only say one percent, he knows the odds are extremely good that he won't individually get sick, and then he will palm this off as "evidence" that it's all a big fuss over nothing. The park service might know maybe 100,000 people will swim in that water this season, so they'll probably save about a thousand from getting sick by closing the place. Even if somebody who does get sick manages to get the attention of a news outlet, they can be scoffed at as an anomaly. "How do you even know the water was responsible? Where else have you been? You're just looking for attention!"
This is how dumbasses are going to kill us all. “I grew up drinking milk straight from the cow and never got sick! Big government just wants to prevent you from unlocking the magic of drinking pus!”
Is he sewage-skeptic too?
He's the septic skeptic.
Don't worry, he put a spiritual spin on it (probably) so it's ok, it's actually cleansing you see!
So brain worms are back on the menu?
he needs to replenish his intestinal e-coli with pathogenic e-coli probiotics.
What a shitty grandpa.
