I don't blame you for being too frustrated by RFK to look into him, but this isn't quite his brand of stupidity.

He's obsessed with "pollutants" in the broadest possible sense. That's why he crusaded against environmental pollutors for most of his adult life.

He also rejects germ theory in favor of the idea that disease is caused by environmental pollution getting into the body.

That's why he supports a return to (his broken understanding) of "natural" living.
