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
