A few common themes have emerged in the comments. I will try to address each.

•Regardless of who wins the election, RFK will still be able to make a massive impact on the vaccine issue prior to when voting begins because he will force the topic into the public discourse.

•RFK has to run in the Democratic Primaries. It is the place where has by far the biggest ability to influence the public sphere since there are presently no strong candidates to run against him in the Democratic primaries.

•If you want to vote for Trump, you can still vote for RFK in the Democratic Primaries (since Trump has such a large lead in the Republic primaries, it is unlikely a vote for him will influence his chances of winning the primary) and then vote for Trump in the general election.

Since people feel very strongly about this issue, I will focus on addressing the comments in the article I just posted about the relative benefits and harms of each vaccine on the CDCs vaccine schedule.

Please join me there once you have time to read the article. A lot of work went into it and it has been very well received thusfar. It can be viewed here:

This - to my mind - is NOT about Bobby making it to the presidency. I mean, yeah, if by some grace he could win, that'd be awesome. But Instead, look at it as a badass way for Bobby Kennedy (and likely many of his tribe) to be blasting the airwaves. He is one of the best options we have of penetrating the dense fog that constrains so many. The world will be watching. His bid will be a great call to the militia!

We've got to wake up and fight back. Getting Bobby a much larger audience will have a powerful cascading positive effect. Guaranteed it will spawn numerous books, media articles, interviews, podcasts, etc. Even the mainstream media will have to cover him a tiny amount. Think of it as pushback to the propaganda. It's using their own corrupt broken political system to get some honest and wise counsel out to the world.

The MAIN reason we've done this (Covid) to ourselves is because we have been asleep @ the wheel. We need dudes like Bobby to break through to all those hypnotized brothers and sisters we live among. Who else has the gravitas (he's been bringing the good fight to some sun's a bitches for like 40 years)? He's also got an impressive depth of knowledge to understand deeply how government works. His life has been about coming to this moment.

I'm not saying he's the messiah or anything. But think about it for a minute. Who would have more impact than the Kennedy's lineage returning when the world is on the cliff. Honestly, it's hard to imagine we don't do ourselves in no matter who takes the reins

We need him to get a platform. I'm a 61 year old witness of a world rushing headlong to jump off the cliff. We're moving inexorably towards any of a number of existential threats.

Having said all the above, I still wouldn't wish the presidency on anyone. One of my greatest disappointments has been finding out about the long con that is politics. It took me until Bernie to realize just how rigged it all is. I hate to admit it, but it's lead to a setting in of apathy with this crazy world. So I hold no illusion they'd let him in.

But he's a warrior - and has been for many years. He's general material without question. The prospect of integrity in a presidential candidate, can you imagine? Even just having someone on stage that embodies that word - that would be something.

Bobby Kennedy makes me feel hope for the first time. He has ethics, tenacity, integrity and the smarts about government. Just getting him on stage and all the internet media appearances would get some sanity out into the world - s/t we desperately need to counter the never ending stream of BS.

Peace

Is he still a global warming nutjob?

Kennedy will help America deal with the tyranny of Covid/Big Pharma, whilst plunging the Nation headfirst into the tyranny of climate change/carbon reduction.

I have the utmost respect for RFK Jnr, but he is a complete and utter fool for the CO2 is bad narrative.

When it comes to crushing liberty and forcing tyranny, Covid was but a side show for the main event: Climate Change.

Is he running as a democrat? The party that used every three letter agency to effectively undo the 2016 election and fix the 2020 election? The party that revels in killing babies and mutilating the genitalia of children? Lol. No thanks. I won’t be voting for any democrat for the rest of my life.

No thanks. I'll be voting for orange man bad.

Hmmm... during interviews, he's been citing January 6th as a "literal insurgency" against the US government. Insurgency? If he buys the MSM/Democrat narrative about J6, it's disqualifying (I am not entirely sure of his position yet).

The Democrat Party is lost. While both the Republican Party and Democrat Party are cyclical in their badness, the current Democrat Party just seems irredeemable; look at what they are doing to the country (one nugget towards this point: https://pitt.substack.com/)! JFK jr cannot avoid the party-structure of the party that he is running for; running as a Democrat is disqualifying where I stand.

I agree he would be an excellent candidate IF we had free and fair elections in this country. Unfortunately, we haven't had those for decades. Elections are controlled and the DNC in particular completely controls the outcome of every primary. He would never be allowed to win the primary, and he would be smeared and canceled by every MSM mouthpiece on both the left and the right until every shallow-brained zombie believes that he thinks the earth is flat and he's a complete ignoramus about anything having to do with public health. That's easily over half the country. Furthermore, if by some miracle he did win the primary he would instantly be assassinated by the CIA just as his father and uncle were, OR, he would simply be ignored while the Deep State carried on running things just as they have for 50 years.

Idk. His climate policies might also demonize oil then there is no point.

I like a Trump/Kennedy ticket and they make their own party. Lol. Crazy idea but I like it. Lol.

Then they can both get rid of deep state/corrupt agencies and start over.

Major problem: RFK, Jr. is a firm believer in the pseudoscience of CO2 catastrophe.

I've said it before: CO2 catastrophe is waiting in the wings as justification for the new world order, the Great Reset. Has no one noticed that the theory of CO2 catastrophe underlies the entire Reset agenda and supplies its moral necessity?

There is no CO2 catastrophe. It's complete fiction, and many books and essays have explained why. The real science has been censored in exactly the same way that the real medicine during Covid has been censored. https://jimreagen.substack.com/p/global-warming

If RFK, Jr., is elected, we'd be out of the frying pan and into the fire. He must, of necessity, enact measures he believes will save the planet, and pesky issues of human rights will fade in the glorious sunrise of saving the planet, no matter what he says about this before the fact.

I'm glad to learn that RFK Jr. has actually filed to run. I am a Republican, but I would certainly consider voting for him. I have come to greatly respect him and his work with CHD. I think he will be a very appealing candidate for many Democrats who feel deceived after voting for Biden. At the same time, I know no one politician can save this country. I'm not sure it can be saved at all.

The DNC picks the nominee. He has no chance, just like Bernie......twice.

The DNC has admitted in court they pick their presidential nominee, not the public. Do we really think RFK Jr. has a chance? 🤔

I support Bobby b/c he aligns with MOST things I believe in as a physician. Is he perfect? Nope, is anyone out there? But when it comes to the most important things - democracy, draining the swamp (and actually knowing HOW to do that), a 40 year history of successful litigation against some of our most egregious institutions, there's no one in the field that compares.

Sure, pick out all the issues you don't agree with Bobby about - all good. But when you do a top view analysis, the one dude who's been fighting the good fight - AND winning - there's no one else. This has NOTHING to do with whether he runs as a dem or a repug - they are a chimera anyways. If he ran independent, he would loose his platform in a second. Therefore, he has no other option but to run as a Dem. I'm an independent personally and a recovered democrat. But we don't get a candidate like this ever. In my life time I've yet to see someone as qualified as Bobby Kennedy Jr. I assert if you looked into his REAL views most folks would find that there most important priorities are Bobby's too.

This is NOT about parties - or even if he could win or not. It's about giving a voice to someone that's been a bulldog fighter/warrior for true democracy, the constitution and the rule of law for 40 years. Who else in ANY space has the creds he has - and the receipts - for fighting for the children, the environment (saving rivers and river keepers anyone), and medical sanity. He's been putting it on the line for most of his career and knows just how crooked this all has become.

He has an incredibly tough hide. He continues to be smeared all around and yet his tenacity is undeniable. Find ANYONE in the presidential field that can match his integrity, his wisdom or his tenacity - then you have a choice. But to my mind, there is no one his match.

Yup, he could be whacked like his uncle and his Dad. Yup, they will likely not even let him get even the glimmer of a chance. Yup, VERY unlikely he could be elected. Yup, there are likely many things that folks will find wanting in his candidacy. But again, in the life and death issues - there's no one else that I'm aware of who could ACTUALLY bring our country together.

He is NOT a sycophant for the democrats. He will and has always called out injustice agnostic of party. He's merely running as a democrat because you have to choose one. I hope folks who are doing a drive-by assessment of Bobby look deeper. In this crazy world that's clearly on the brink, the healer we need is someone who truly knows what Democracy SHOULD be and how to fix it. That's who needs to speak out, not the bozo's who typically line up.

Nope, he's not the messiah. But for a human being, he is our best hope. To my mind, no one can hold a candle to him.

Peace

This is very exciting to me (and I’m a libertarian-leaning conservative). RFK, Jr’s book The Real Anthony Fauci might be the most important book written in our lifetimes. Here’s a book review I wrote that was picked up by Citizen Free Press.

For those who haven’t read the book, here’s another story I wrote that includes 18 vignettes from the book. This will give you a feel for the great content in the book:

Good luck to Mr. Kennedy. I might end up putting a DeSantis sign and a Kennedy sign in my front yard. That will get my neighbors talking ... and let them know what I think is the most important issue in our nation.

Are you kidding me with this? RFK, Jr doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning anything because elections are Kabuki theater. And even if he did "win", he would do exactly what he was told by the people who really run this country or he would find his brains splattered just like his daddy and his Uncle Jack.
