If there's any upside to this man being an idiot by 14th century standards it's that he's more likely to get deathly ill.
O... Ok! The situation in taking care of itself.
One day is no big deal. If he really wants to make his point, he should do it every day for a month.
(Leave the grandkids at home, though.)
Fucker probably found the least contaminated part for this stunt.
So brain worms are back on the menu?
he needs to replenish his intestinal e-coli with pathogenic e-coli probiotics.
I wonder why he says we should fortify our immune system if he doesn't think germs cause diseases? Like, what is the immune system doing making cells that can eat bacteria?
Is he sewage-skeptic too?
He's the septic skeptic.
Don't worry, he put a spiritual spin on it (probably) so it's ok, it's actually cleansing you see!
THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS
Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it's gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.
You do know that rivers and creeks can go on for miles right? And that they will widen and narrow at various points?
Don't get me wrong, it's entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to "prove his point" about germ theory being wrong. But it's inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.
I get where you're coming from, but in the interest of keeping my comment simple I left out that he claimed to be hiking in Dumbarton Oaks Park, which is not far (and downstream) from the picture I posted such that it wouldn't be plausible that it would be that narrow.
But I'll also point out the level of incredulity my comment is getting on a social media site, vs. RFK Jr.'s, which should strike anyone familiar with Rock Creek as almost certainly wrong. Yet everyone in the whole news media is either willfully ignoring this or just too lazy to look into it. And honestly it pisses me off because this lack of giving a fuck about basic facts from reporters who we falsely imagine as being employed in reporting facts shows how much we're in a post-truth society and why we got a con artist as our president.
How is he still alive?
Heroin kills everything.
