RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

World leaders don't usually get invited to US presidential inaugurations.

Trump has broken with the tradition to invite:

Comrade Xi

Giorgia Meloni

Crazy Javier Milei

And former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

THAT is the story. But once again right are desperate to make it about Starmer

RFK Jr’s long history of conspiracy theories, reckless disregard for public health, and racist, crazy ideology make him among the most dangerous of Trump's cabinet picks. He is unfit to lead our HHS.

I firmly believe that Elon Musk's actions and decisions could have a more detrimental impact on this country than Donald Trump. His influence in the tech and transportation industries has the potential to significantly disrupt and harm our economy and society.

As America moves away from Europe it is ever more vital that we renew our ties with the EU and reduce the effects of the disastrous extreme Brexit we ended up with.

Labour are letting our country down and making us even more vulnerable by not doing so immediately.

No party is being honest about what Brexit was designed to do.

Brexit was always about dissolving U.K. to USA and mammoth destruction of core 🇬🇧 values.

Starmer’s budget clears the path for USA deal which destroys 🇬🇧 agriculture, NHS and SME for BlackRock clean up.

Across Mountains, Land & Sea is an incredible book.

The story, in his own words, of a child refugee’s journey from Afghanistan to the UK & his experiences when he arrived.

So compelling & well-written.
Every one of those migrants we talk about is an individual human with a story like this.❤️🙏

For those who’ve forgotten what a pre-vaccine world was like I’d advise watching the 1st few series of #callthemidwife 💙

The harm done to children & families from diseases like #Polio #Diphtheria #Rubella & #Measles etc in unvaccinated populations is unbelievable!

Storm after storm the roof kept them dry. So dry that they forgot what it was like to be rained on.

But they worried about the roof keeping the sunlight from them.

So they decided to dismantle the roof altogether.

There is overwhelming evidence that the policies & funding of NHS England & GMC are set on replacing Doctors with PAs

When stating PAs have been integral to the NHS for 20years they are lying

2015 there were just 15 PAs in General Practice only 109 in hospitals

I don’t understand the reasons

Thank you Peter Prinsley 4 asking the❓we all want an answer to🙏🏼

If DHSC, GMC & @nhsengland.bsky.social think those raising concerns re MAPs’ undefined, unlimited scope of practice are a “vocal minority” they should think again!

Only 3 weeks to sort a national scope of practice for #physicianassociates with Royal Colleges pushing for scope of practice

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.
The debate around the use of physician associates in the NHS is certain to be debated on this app as it was over in the other place

Last month I published this long read after speaking to Merseyside medics about their concerns
