RFK Jr. and the Weaponization of Doubt – Part 2

from Michael and Sarah Walker · host Elephant in the Ink Room

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was once a respected environmental attorney and activist. But today, he’s better known for something else: a steady stream of anti-science rhetoric dressed in the language of rebellion and “truth-telling.” What began as skepticism has now hardened into dogma — and the consequences are not harmless. They’re deadly. RFK Jr. has no medical degree, no epidemiological credentials, and no experience treating illness — yet he presents himself as a public health expert, urging millions to ignore doctors, scientists, and regulatory agencies in favor of his own conspiratorial worldview. And it’s working. His brand is thriving. He’s become a symbol for those who distrust institutions — not because he’s offering real answers, but because he’s selling fear.
