RFK Jr.’s Germ Theory Denial Debunked in Senate Hearing
During a Senate hearing, Senator Bernie Sanders challenged Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s rejection of germ theory, a fundamental scientific principle. Kennedy defended his stance, which aligns with a discarded terrain theory suggesting disease stems from bodily imbalances rather than specific pathogens. This denial of germ theory, though a cornerstone of Kennedy’s health advocacy and movement, has been largely underreported. Kennedy’s focus on diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors in lieu of germ theory shapes his public health priorities and policy proposals.
