Trying to cut the knowledge translation window down from over 10 years to less than 1 year with the power of social media. Remember to be skeptical of anything you learn, even if you heard it on the Skeptics’ Guide to Emergency Medicine. www.TheSGEM.com

I don’t think it’s a hit piece. They cite email exchanges (although the emails are not from RFK Jr himself). However, the claim is in line with RFK’s track record.

The people in the MAHA movement seem to give a lot of grace to RFK Jr’s behaviour but are hyper critical of Dr. Fauci’s. This suggests it’s not about the evidence & exhibits their bias.

Swap out RFK Jr for Dr. Fauci & would the MAHA advocates interpret the same evidence in the same way?

Watching MAHA twist themselves into a knot to defend RFK Jr’s Keto Claim has been character revealing. They don’t care about gold standard science. As long as it agrees with their narrative = good science. If it doesn’t agree with narrative = bad science. Ugh.
