And I have read that about RFK Jr. before. What shocks me is how the NPR reporter seems to be taking it seriously. Yes, there are quotes from doctors who disagree, but it feels like both sides are being presented with equal weight.

I feel like the tone should be, “ THE HEALTH SECRETARY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BELIEVES IN A DISEASE THEORY FROM 2,400 YEARS AGO! HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?”
