In the second 2024 presidential campaign event to take place on Twitter Spaces, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rambled about vaccines and blamed school shootings on anti-depressants
Discussing the future of warfare, Kennedy said that there are bioweapons development labs “all over the world,” working on projects “including, you know, ethnic bio weapons that kill people from certain races, etc., that are designed to do that, and they already have them and they’re ready to escape.” For now, such weapons are purely hypothetical — the stuff of science fiction — but nobody challenged Kennedy’s assertion.
“And prior to the introduction of Prozac, we had almost none of these events in our country,” Kennedy continued, naming a specific antidepressant in yet another unsupported claim. “The one thing that we have, it’s different than anybody in the world, is the amount of psychiatric drugs our children are taking.” He then alleged that the National Institute of Health won’t research the supposed link between these drugs and shootings “because they’re working with the pharmaceutical industry.
By the end of the event, fewer than 60,000 listeners remained on the call, a fraction of the audience that stuck around through the far shorter DeSantis campaign launch. Still, it seems proof that as a fringe candidate, Kennedy can connect with a slim minority that shares many of his crank beliefs and admire his pedigree as a scion of the Kennedy dynasty. As he indicated himself in so many bouts of effusive praise, it certainly helps to have Elon Musk give you a leg up.
