    Kennedy’s action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their “solar callus,” or sun tolerance, instead.

    This kind of bullshit makes me so angry.

    Someone tried to tell me RFK was doing good things because he was finally going after red dyes in food… completely ignoring ALLLLLL the other quackery.

      This movement to ban petroleum based dyes in food started long before he was in office and attributing it to him is incorrect.

      They need plausible deniability that the little brown girls they abuse are at least white.

    So he’s against antidepressants, which serve a legitimate health purpose , but all for minors using tanning beds….

    Because the Epstein class want those sexy tanned teens.

    It makes so much sense now why he always looks like he just got back from a trip to the Sun.

        MAHA is actually such a big part of Trumps base that he’s been having a hard time balancing his own desire for money (supporting things like oil and big ag) with the MAHA people.

    Shouldn’t be legal, even for adults (like in Australia). This is the type of 20th century quackery we’ve come to expect from Dr Brainworm.

    Hey, skin cancer is the new “in” look! Hope all these MAHA adherents have good insurance when they need surgery to dig the melanomas out of them.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
