Trofim Lysenko was a Soviet scientist whose dogmatic science denialism led to mass famine when his ideas were applied to agriculture. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a lot like Lysenko in his science denial. Will his results be as disastrous?

…yikes! I haven’t had a chance to watch all of RFK Jr.’s press conference, but what I’ve seen…yikes. I’m gonna need a bigger blog. While I’m working on it, though, feel free to vent!
RFK Jr. has hired David Geier, an antivax quack from the past, to undertake a study to “prove” that vaccines cause autism. Truly, the results are preordained.
On Friday, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber exploded, killing a five-year-old child being treated at an “integrative” clinic. Quackery kills.
Even as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. prepares to face confirmation hearings today, there has been amusing trouble in “make America healthy” paradise. Will it derail RFK Jr.’s bid to become HHS Secretary?
