RFK Jr. is insane:

wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them?

This is an insane person.

The more research that is done on mitochondria and their roles, the more it is discovered that that they have a much bigger role than being powerhouses. They organize a lot of cellular action.

Simultaneously research into obscure but not uncommon diseases is increasingly implicating mitochondrial function.

But RFnKjr knows little.

and swim in sewage, you can readily spot these things. I trust his keen instincts and judgment. Just glance and diagnose. It’s easy for a great mind like his. I’ll bet it’s those pesky vaccines those poor kids were subjected to. Don’t worry though, I’m sure he has the fix up his sleeve.

This person is INSANE. And his face looks like a withered catcher's mitt left out in the rain for forty years.

Idiots pretending any bum out of *rump's cult can fulfill any kind of responsible obligation is also insane. It's like they close their eyes and throw a dart at whatever issue to decide what to destroy on any given day.

Fucking lunatics!

It's up to your family members, friends and co-workers to recognize it and convince you to seek treatment. Unfortunately, this administration is largely populated by those most in need of help. Their diagnoses I'm sure run the gambit. They are driving the bus and we're just unwilling passengers and all we can do is grab on to something as we see the devastating crash that is inevitable.

And pompously announcing that she had higher brain function when she had, in fact, none - a tragedy, but one borne out by the experience of neurologists who actually diagnosed her in person.
