Kennedy Jr.\u00a0\u00a0He made his legal career as an environmentalist, and in the early 2000\u2019s turned to questioning \u201cbig pharma\u201d about what was included in pharmaceuticals.\u00a0\u00a0He\u2019s attacked vaccines, medications, and claimed Americans were ingesting deadly doses of thimerosal and mercury.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snake Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Like every \u201csnake oil salesman\u201d, there\u2019s a kernel of truth in some of what he says.&nbsp;&nbsp;We only have to look to Oxycontin to know that drug company profits can overwhelm public safety.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But, for every Oxycontin, there are hundreds of drugs that made our lives safer, and better. (That includes the Covid vaccine \u2013 all the \u201csnake oil\u201d about that to the contrary.&nbsp;&nbsp;It saved, and still saves, millions of lives worldwide.&nbsp;&nbsp;It allowed us to get back to life, and, ironically, was Trump\u2019s greatest Presidential achievement.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So, do you believe the \u201csnake oil salesman\u201d, Kennedy speaking through Trump, or do you believe the science?\u00a0\u00a0The Secretary of Health and Human Services (Kennedy) did something that\u2019s a \u201cverboten\u201d in the scientific world.\u00a0\u00a0He ignored the vast weight of scientific study, and of scientific expertise.\u00a0\u00a0Instead, he \u201ccherry picked\u201d a single study that claimed to show a linkage between Tylenol and Autism.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s not that other analysts, the real experts, don\u2019t know about this study.\u00a0\u00a0But they think it\u2019s flawed; small, and misinterpreted.\u00a0\u00a0Kennedy (and his chosen \u201cscientists\u201d) decided that this one, \u201cunicorn\u201d, was right, and all of the others are wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experts Matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Of course, there are lots of opinions.&nbsp;&nbsp;But there\u2019s a catch to that:&nbsp;&nbsp;not everyone is entitled to an opinion on the matter.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure, with a click of the keys and a whiff of AI, we can all claim to be experts.&nbsp;&nbsp;But here\u2019s reality:&nbsp;&nbsp;I can look at a pole vault attempt, and diagnose what\u2019s right and wrong \u2013 can you?&nbsp;&nbsp;Probably not, that\u2019s not your expertise, it\u2019s mine, hard-earned through forty plus years of coaching.&nbsp;&nbsp;And I\u2019m pretty good with most other track and field events as well, except for hammer throw (the ball with the cable, kind of medieval).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When I want a hammer \u201cdiagnosis\u201d, I turn to my hammer coach friends.\u00a0\u00a0It a distinct specialty in the track and field world.\u00a0\u00a0By the way, they turn to me with pole vault issues too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interpretation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So when I want to interpret the scientific data regarding Tylenol, I don\u2019t declare an expertise just because I take four a day.\u00a0\u00a0I don\u2019t even try to read all of the \u201cdata\u201d about Tylenol, because I don\u2019t have the expertise to understand it.\u00a0\u00a0Instead, I take two steps.\u00a0\u00a0I listen to my carefully chosen doctor, the one I trust.\u00a0\u00a0And he listens to the real experts on pharmacology, ones HE trusts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So when the President gives medical advice (\u201ctough it out, pregnant ladies\u201d), I call \u201cBS\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;And while Robert Kennedy probably could give practical advice about heroin addiction, something he\u2019s experienced, his NYU Law degree doesn\u2019t give him any expertise in interpreting scientific data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monopoly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Here\u2019s the rub: both the President and the Secretary have good reason to want a monopoly on the truth.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s not really about Tylenol and autism.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s about the \u201cREAL\u201d issues where the administration comes head to head with money and power, like climate change.&nbsp;&nbsp;Today, the President told the United Nations that manmade climate change was a hoax, a false premise that was damaging their economies and ruining their citizens lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cLet\u2019s get back to \u2018clean coal\u2019\u201d he said to the world\u2019s nations.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, of course, if coal is good, petroleum is even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Where\u2019s the money?&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump literally asked the big petroleum companies leaders for a billion dollars and he\u2019d make sure to protect gas, and they paid up (<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/energy-environment\/4961820-oil-bigwigs-open-wallets-for-trump-after-billion-dollar-request\/\">The Hill<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;And we know that the Middle Eastern oil producers have long funded the Trump family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And if climate change is a hoax, then the Democrats are liars, and so is China.&nbsp;&nbsp;China is the world leader in solar power, far out-distancing the strangled efforts of President Biden.&nbsp;&nbsp;Turn to the US, get oil, and West Virginia coal.&nbsp;&nbsp;Turn to China, and get renewable solar energy.&nbsp;&nbsp;The rest of the world probably already knows what to do,&nbsp;&nbsp;take the renewable fuel of the future not supply-limited fuel of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Believe the Lie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Trump needs them to believe the lie.\u00a0\u00a0And he needs Americans to believe that \u201conly he\u201d knows the real truth, about everything.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s important to him on so many issues:\u00a0\u00a0elections, urban crime, undocumented migrant costs, climate change, and, of course, the EPSTEIN FILES (they haven\u2019t gone away).\u00a0\u00a0If Trump can control the truth, then he can control the Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If it sounds like George Orwell\u2019s 1984, it is.&nbsp;&nbsp;The enemy today is the friend tomorrow, ask Robert Kennedy, the son of a liberal Democrat.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, here\u2019s the rub:&nbsp;&nbsp;there really is a scientifically based truth. You just need to ask a real expert.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don\u2019t take my word for it;&nbsp;&nbsp;or Bobby\u2019s, or Donald Trump\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Drugs President Trump told everyone Monday that maternal use of&nbsp;&nbsp;acetaminophen is a cause of childhood autism.&nbsp;&nbsp;While he struggled with saying the word \u201cacetaminophen\u201d (full disclosure:&nbsp;&nbsp;spell-check fixed my first attempt), he finally dropped back to the brand name \u2013 Tylenol.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result, Kenvue, the manufacturer of that brand, lost 9% of its stock value.
