I don't want to alarm anyone, but it seems possible that Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. doesn't know what he's talking about in the slightest.
Sorry to get political here, but I just have a hunch.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

It's being called Farage's 'Talk Britain Down' tour.
Comparing the UK to North Korea.
Describing Great Britain as 'awful'.
Calling the UK an 'authoritarian' regime.
Instead he got called a 'Putin-loving free-speech imposter.' 😆
