Epstein used to look at kids mitochondria too... /S

I feel like I could chill with this guy and vibe but as a leader of America I'm not so sure.

Mitochondrial Challenge played a Peel session in 2003.

Proper sludgy doom.

A man with no idea what the fuck he is talking about lol, sums up the current USA

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 103 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don’t forget! He’s in a position of power and a position of authority.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 58 points 2 days ago

Absolutely sums up the USA currently.

seems more likely he’s just seeing the utter despair of young humans realizing what kind of world they have been born into.

I think he means midichlorians.

I'm not weak in the force, I'm just midichlorianly challenged.

The greatest metabolic problem in the United States, obesity, has strong ties to the addictive hyperpalatable ultraprocessed foods high in simple sugars and fats that comprise the majority of the Standard American Diet, and he's not made any mention of it, let alone take any action to address it.

No, no, I’m pretty sure it’s all the vaccines. That must be it.

RFK had a book published some time back in which he reveals he doesn't believe in germ theory. Germ theory. This should have automatically disqualified him from doing anything that gives him decision making powers dealing with health, and medicine.

[–] CannedYeet@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

That would explain the walking barefoot to the airplane bathroom. And eating the roadkill. And...

RFK is literally a child murderer

Schatz recounted the story of how Kennedy traveled to Samoa in 2019 to discourage people from taking the measles vaccine which ultimately led to an outbreak in which thousands of people were infected and 83, mostly children, died.

“It is so chilling to contemplate the idea that someone as recognizable as a Kennedy would fly across an ocean to a small, developing country and basically tell everybody, ‘Be afraid of this lifesaving medicine’,” Schatz concluded.

He isn't just a quack, he is a fascist.

he drove his former now deceased wife to SUICIDE, by pressuring her to be only SAHM. SHe had a succesful career , and he used the brainworm to get out of paying alimony.

Mass child murderer

FTFY

Just throwing shit at the wall. Faces. Social connection. Walking. What a bunch of bullshit.

I am looking at this guy and see someone mentally challenged. You can see it in his face

My biggest mitrochondrial challenge is that someone like RFK can be in a position of power anything to do with health and medicine.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I had to pick someone suffering from mitochondrial challenges and inflammation based off appearances I'd choose RFK over a random child any time.

STFU you roided out goon.

His family literally came together and penned a letter to America warning us about him before the 2024 election.

That's the kind of freak this guy is.

But Americans are too stupid to listen to reason. So here we are.

I'm not a scientist. What is a mitochondrial challenge?

[–] eugene171@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Looks like the pseudoscience and supplement-selling name for a real set of medical conditions.

Everything RFK tries to understand is buried in a grain of truth. Yes, poor diets and sedentary lifestyles lead to younger and younger people with inflammatory diseases, which used to be a thing in obese elderly people. Inflammation is the result of release of reactive oxygen from immune cells, which is coming from mitochondria. No, mitochondria are not the cause, and in fact keep us all alive and free of disease.

so hes a jedi now?

Go eat more roadkill you weirdo

[–] Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't claim that they mean this (for I have no who that is) but "mitochondrial challenge" reminds me of oxidative stress which does cause physical symptoms.

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That was my thought as well. No way this is what he meant. He's almost definitely just saying whatever seems like a confusingly almost correct enough thing to cover for the fact that he's completely hamstringing the FDA and CDC so they stop looking too hard at the things big pharma and big agriculture are doing (and even worse, what they're doing together) but it wouldn't strike that vague "something is kinda right about this" vibe if there wasn't some truth to the fact that yeah we are drowning ourselves in plastic and cheap dopamine fixes. On the subject of fuckery they're up to together, I remember reading a CEU on antimicrobial stewardship that said agriculture is a major contributor to the development of antimicrobial resistant pathogens.

It made me remember back to watching (I think it was) Food inc in highschool: there was a guy who owned an actual real deal free range chicken farm. His butcher shop was actually open air, which the bigger factory farm tried to report as unsanitary. When actual swabs were taken, his setup was cleaner just because he was sanitizing all of his tools between each butchering. If there first chicken over the factory belt has e. coli, now they all do. So instead of slowing down and doing things in a way that doesn't spread pathogens as easily to begin with, they just feed the chickens a shitton of antibiotics. And overusing antibiotics leads to antimicrobial resistance.

I like that he thinks airports are somehow a place you’ll see social connection and not just loads of tired bored people waiting.

He's a conspiracy nut and believes in quack medicine.

A sentence like that sounds like something my mom would say when talking about some semi-common chronic condition passed down onto humanity from some ancient long gone super advanced culture that only crystals and collodial silver can heal that "mainstream medicine" refuses to accept due to... Dogma... Or big pharma... Or some combination of those two.

Is it less embarrassing if he meant "midichlorians"?

i always knew my autism was caused by the force.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The lack of social connections ... among children ... at the airport.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

I recently visited the DMV and was shocked at what I saw: kids glued to their parents' sides, not a single child was socializing.

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Full on tweaking from the head of a government body. What an embarassing shitshow!

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

6 months ago my insane uncle who idolized rfk junior. Warned me of this September autism reveal.. (spoiler. Its fucking vaccines)

And he genuinely thinks once the news is out. There's going to be purge style violence against pharma and Healthcare workers for "poisoning their kids"

Dude is back on the H

[–] thecoffeehobbit@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

So he's hinting that he has now discovered where autism comes from, conveniently passed from the mother's side? Checks out..

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Part of me wonders if this isnt another attack on women given mitochondrial DNA is passed solely through the mother....

Then again, I doubt anyone has a high school level understanding of biology in this administration. Or the attention span to parrot what some billionare Thiel think tank told them to say if it was longer than 5 minutes prior.

For some reason the thumbnail looked like a picture of a muppet. Could we please replace RFKJR with a muppet?
