RFK Jr.’s tenure at HHS must be put to an end. We already have ample evidence for that necessity, both in the form of his complete mismanagement of a ballooning measles outbreak that continues to expand, his vaccine skepticism that has led to him stating that he’s going to have the origin of autism all figured out in a couple of months despite years of research from actually qualified people being done, or even just the fact that a goddamned worm ate part of his fucking brain.
But now this is just getting ridiculous. In the midst of the measles problem that he really should be focusing on combatting, Kennedy instead went on Dr. Phil’s show. There he took questions about health from the audience and, in response to one question, committed to getting to the bottom of this whole chemtrail thing.
Toward the end of Dr. Phil’s town hall, an audience member named Emily stated that she was most concerned about the constant “aerosol injections” of aluminum, strontium, and other purported toxins being sprayed into the skies—a statement that RFK Jr. completely took at face value when asked how he was going to address this issue.
“That is not happening in my agency. We don’t do that. It’s done, we think, by DARPA. And a lot of it now is coming out of the jet fuel—so those materials are put in jet fuel,” Kennedy responded, appearing to blame the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, part of the U.S. Department of Defense, for chemtrails. DARPA has long been a conspiracy bogeyman, though it’s not the only government agency that’s been accused of creating chemtrails.
Kennedy added, “I’m going to do everything in my power to stop it. We’re bringing on somebody who’s going to think only about that, find out who’s doing it, and holding them accountable.”
Let that sink in for just a moment. As HHS has cut 1/8th of its workforce, including clinics and resources for fighting the measles outbreak, he is committing to bringing in a fulltime employee who will spend all of their time, all of it, “thinking only about” chemtrails. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a criminal waste of taxpayer dollars, time, and energy on a conspiracy theory that many conspiracy theorists think is fucking stupid. Any brain cycles spent thinking about this by anyone is of zero value. And here is the head of healthcare in America not only taking it seriously, but promising to commit resources to it.
Even among conspiracy theories, the logic underlying chemtrails is especially stupid. The theory goes that planes have been secretly seeding the skies with all sorts of chemical weapons that have been poisoning people for decades—weapons that conveniently leave behind easily visible trails. Some people claim these chemicals are also—or instead—being used to modify the weather.
In truth, these trails are the product of condensation that usually happens when jet fuel exhaust—mostly made out of water vapor but also containing small particles of soot—mixes with cold, humid air at high altitudes. In other words, they’re basically just temporary clouds made out of ice crystals (natural clouds are more often composed of water droplets). They’re formally known as contrails, short for condensation trails.
And the head of HHS wants you to know he’s on the case. Because we’re apparently going to allow him to be and not impeach him or otherwise pressure the administration to put someone with a full intact brain in the position.
