So... kids shouldn't have the right to their own personal expression, but they should have the right to give themselves cancer. Got it. Makes perfect sense.
Good! We NEED our Children looking HOT!
-LITERALLY every single Republican!
So they can be as baked as he is.
Why would anyone listen to a person who looks like they got trapped in an air fryer?
Presumably somewhere there is a portrait that gets younger every year.
Wait. Does this fuck actually think UV doesn't cause cancer?
Or is he just, like, people have a right to give themselves cancer?
These idiots are going to poison themselves with e coli, while mainlining horse dewormer (which won't do anything for the e coli), all while high on psychedelics and cooking themselves in a sunbed. I'm sure that will leave a lovely corpse although I wouldn't want to be the one that has to clean that up.
Though by the sound of it it sounds like they're going to render themselves extinct within a generation.
Plague doctors would have laughed at them for being so unscientific.
Listen up you leathery pile, your ideas are stupid and you should feel stupid.
why is rfk jr so obsessed with minors i wonder
he has seen with dining with epstein on one or more photos. his other comment about the other month was about sperm of young men, or boys. he said sperm count was lower now than it was before, Looks like peter thiels rubbing off on him.
Looks like peter thiels rubbing off on him.
When Kick Rock isn't rubbing off on him.
It's an endless stream of stupid old men with leathery skin rubbing on each other for some reason.
I hear he likes them underage. Some say that's statutory, but he says it's mandatory 🤢
It's a union thang. His boss diddles kiddies so they all follow the leader.

Notably absent: Dr. Rockso, also Dr. Acula, depending on how high you are.
My screenplay!
Good on you for not forgetting about Dre.
Doctor Zoidberg
I dunno, dude. Zoidberg has an understanding of human anatomy that's tenuous at best, and a lot of his medical advice is completely disastrous. Honestly, if he were in a government health official position, I'm not sure he'd really do any better. Possibly much worse.

Kennedy’s action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their “solar callus,” or sun tolerance, instead.
Even if this doesn’t give you cancer, it’ll make you look like a California Raisin. In one of Lab Muffin’s videos (chemistry PhD who makes educational videos about beauty/skincare product misinformation), she has a great photo of an older woman who has put sunscreen on her face but not neck for decades, and it looked like they belonged to two different people. Same if you’ve ever seen photos of old truckers that don’t use sunscreen on their window side arm.
TL;DR: UV radiation bad. Protect yourself from the giant nuclear explosion in the sky. If you don’t like sunscreen, use a sun jacket or anything long sleeved with a good UPF rating.
Sunscreen on face but not neck
Trucker
Yeah these people have constant access to the internet yet are entirely unable to spend 4 seconds on it to look up picture of middle-aged highland folks who are working in the sun all day.

It's like his goal is to get as many people sick from as many things as possible. No vaccines, red meat heavy diet and suntanning beds. What's next cigarettes for kids?

Nope, just flavored vapes
What’s next cigarettes for kids?
To build up their lung callus, for when they'll get work in the coal mines.

his goal is to make people look like him, his skin all leathery from UV damage, or pleathery.
Pinnacles of beauty, masculinity, health, and heterosexuality.
He wants everyone to look like nurgle cultist.

Ok. Tanning beds are cancer machines for everyone. The enablement is a consequence of allowing sun beds in the first place - this doesn't change much honestly.
Also, what groups are cleared here? Teenagers? Children? There is a lot of ambiguity in that news site.

Days before the 2024 presidential election, future Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted a statement on X promising to end the US Food and Drug Administration’s “aggressive suppression” of such alternative therapies as raw milk, ivermectin, psychedelics and, somewhat perplexingly, “sunshine.”
While the post did not explain how the FDA was limiting Americans’ access to the sun, many dermatologists were dismayed when Kennedy abruptly withdrew a proposed FDA rule that would have banned minors from using devices that mimic sunlight — indoor tanning lamps.
The rule, which was withdrawn March 16, would have also required indoor tanning facility users to sign a form acknowledging the risk of cancer, early skin aging and other health effects.
Kennedy’s action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their “solar callus,” or sun tolerance, instead.
The trend has frustrated many dermatologists, who warn that the damage of frequent sunburns and tans accumulates over a lifetime, and those acquired early in life appear to play a disproportionate role in later risk of skin cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation notes also that you cannot build up a tolerance to sun exposure and “there is no such thing as a ‘solar callus.’ ”
Dermatologists have long cautioned that indoor tanning lamps are no less dangerous, since they expose users to ultraviolet light at concentrations far above natural sunlight. Like sunlight, the lamps emit two different types of ultraviolet wavelengths: UVA, which are longer and penetrate more deeply into the skin, and UVB, which are shorter and more easily burn the outer layers.
Both light sources darken skin through the same biological process: UV rays change the structure and chemical profile of DNA in the skin, which then produces more melanin in order to prevent further damage.
A tanning bed session exposes users to UVB rays akin to those at noon at the equator — an intense experience, but at least one with a terrestrial equivalent, said Hunter Shain, an associate professor of dermatology at UC San Francisco. The UVA radiation in a tanning bed is roughly 15 times that found anywhere on the surface of the planet.
Holy moly I was just ranting incoherence about this so much I welcome the new grass-stained burnt face look that RFK Jr. Really Brings To uh wherever he u-
Also he highly recommended a daily dose of racoon dick for newborns.
Well they need vitamin D too.
Holy shit this is so much more fucked up typed out than in my head.
a side dish of MELANOMA TOO.

Sooooooo, trump I get. He's a narcisist. That's why he does the things he does. He's also putins bitch. So he tries to destroy america, because putin is obsessed with the cold war.
The rest of the crew are just desprate needy sycophants, who do nothing but try to gobble up as much attention and power as possible.
But RFKjr? Him I don't get. It's like he's an 80s saturday morning cartoon villain. He would fit right in alongside Cobra, or CLAW, or being one of Jokers henchmen.
I'm honestly expecting him at some point to encourage people to drink bleach.
He's just really fucking stupid.
