Shortly before being nominated for the job, Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a now-infamous post on X, in which he pledged to end the federal government’s “aggressive suppression” of – among many things – “sunshine.”
That appears to have included artificial sources of sunshine. As in tanning beds.
This week, the Food and Drug Administration abandoned a long-running proposal to ban people under 18 from using tanning beds, also known as sunlamps. The rules, proposed in late 2015, would have also required those who do use them to periodically sign forms acknowledging the risks of skin cancer.
Medical groups representing doctors and patients were dismayed at the agency’s decision to back away from tougher regulation of the devices, which are available at tanning salons and some major gym chains.
Considering RFK Jr looks like a handbag, I’m not surprised he believes in the healing powers of “sunshine”.
hes been using the tanning beds alot lately, to look a leather bag.
He needs exceptional amounts of sunlight to keep his skin human colored because the blue aquarium cleaner he drinks dyes his brain and body blue.
he needs worm eggs too.
I feel like I don’t need to fact check this and should accept this as true and share it to others.
Its what RFK Jr would want.
Edit: ahaha holy fucking shit you weren’t joking.
he believes all the pseudoscience around supplements things too.
This is why critical thinking is so important to teach in schools (and why Repubs defund schools).
The more kids are enabled to think critically about sources and find quality evidence-supported information, the harder they are to con and scam.
RFK is a perfect example. Will not believe medical science with multiple thousands of years of combined data. Will accept a masculinity-blogger or Joe Rogan recommendation because of ‘gut feel’ or Dunning-Kruger effect.
RFK’s ideal aryan…

No no, she’s busy making sure that the Air Force Academy is like, super Christian-fascist.
Can’t get that way without a little grooming 😉
No reason to do this unless you want more people with cancer. Literally the only reason.
