Alternative medicine fans see RFK Jr. as a hero. The field’s skeptics worry.

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.

"male victimhood beliefs are driven by perceived privilege loss rather than objective economic hardship."
