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.
He’s also unintentionally describing himself.
The only way to stop a bad charlatan is a good charlatan with a worm.
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”.
