      Bro… We have been an experiment. We got manipulated into being a proud culture of cattle.

      This lifestyle is unholy. And we stupidly participate in being the true enemy of humankind.

      Truth is lonely, and illegal.

    Kennedy has said that he does not want to see a “wild west” of alternative therapies developing in the US. Yet in the same breath, he conceded that opening up the country to such providers will lead to “charlatans and people who have bad results, but ultimately you can’t prevent that”. The Guardian has contacted the US health department and the FDA but did not receive a reply.

    It is literally his job to prevent that.

      When he refers to “charlatans and people who have bad results”, he’s talking about people who think that vaccines, uh, work.

      It’s giving a mix of “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” and “some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice we’re prepared to make”.

    Autistic brains are seen to have higher neuron counts, without synaptic pruning seen in normal brain development. So add more neurons?

    Does RFK even know what a stem cell is?

      And is there any evidence that stem cells cross the blood brain barrier? I’m guessing (IANAD) they don’t and the “doctors” are actually counting on it protecting kids, because if they inject a kid and they shortly after have an aneurism or clot or whatever then the grift is over.

      Doing a brief search, this paper suggests the cells don’t pass the BBB or at least it can be hard to get the stem cells not to latch on to the wrong thing: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9976985/

        Even if they did, under what principle would they turn into neurons, organize and form connections?

          And who’s to say (again, not an expert on autism) that additional connections would override existing bad connections or not make more bad connections? My son has congenital heart disease and I’m under no delusion that pumping him with stem cells would suddenly correct an organ that wasn’t properly formed at birth.

        1. Even when implanted brain, they do not form functional neurons.
