To start: Vaccine critics like Mr. Kennedy often give the impression that scientists haven’t seriously researched whether vaccines might cause autism.

In a Times Opinion analysis, we can demonstrate that researchers have.

Lol! What does he "get right"? All I've ever heard him promote is holistic mumbo-jumbo and gimmick-for-profit remedies...all of which he owns a large stake in selling.

(not who you're replying to) he has the rare good opinion. Like he's big on healthy eating, exercise, and regulating junk food - all of which are ideas I can totally get behind.

...but even his best ideas are accompanied by pseudoscience reasoning and/or dogshit plans.

Broken clocks and all that.

Those are some hot takes. I guess the previous administration was promoting sedentary lifestyles and eating nothing but Snickers?

Seriously - the only thing he gets rights are "the feels". When it comes to solutions he's crazy and dangerous.

All the "good" ideas this administration has are precedents to authoritarian mandates. They promote healthy eating so they can deny insurance claims etc. if you indicate (or if they suspect) you're not doing it.

One of the hallmarks of "alternative medicine" has always been to blame the victim when their quack remedies don't work. It's why they love to promote diet and exercise as "the key" to a healthy life. It's easy to find something wrong with anyone's diet and claim that is why they got cancer.
