🧪“Mitochondrial challenges”? Not a thing. Inflammation that he can just see in a kid’s face or movements? Also made up.
Is the implication that these kids he sees in airports all have autism? I get it now, airplanes cause autism.

RFK JR: I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation—you can tell from their faces, movements, and lack of social connection
