Germ-theory skeptic RFK Jr. goes swimming in sewage-tainted water
(arstechnica.com)
Go Darwin! 🎉
One day is no big deal. If he really wants to make his point, he should do it every day for a month.
(Leave the grandkids at home, though.)
If there's any upside to this man being an idiot by 14th century standards it's that he's more likely to get deathly ill.
In my state if you swim in any body of water it's almost always tainted somehow, maybe not with sewage but perhaps some other toxic pollutant. The only exception I can think of is the man-made reservoirs used for drinking water that people swim...
and pee in.
Jesus Christ what happened to water just being normal, dirty, outside water? How did we fuck it up this badly?
Because that's environmentalist extremism. You have to be reasonable and allow the rich to rob everyone at least a little. /s
Iowa. Right?
Close, Indiana.
even in a natural body of water, they have parasites in them, like amoebas, gardia, parasitic eggs,,,etc. because animals die and shit in the water too. and parasites love using aquatic hosts like snails and crustaceans, and amphibians.
Ok so what is the most obvious, unhide-able , agonizing, and debilitating disease he can get from this?
Because I hope he gets 330 million cases of it.
Is he sewage-skeptic too?
He's the septic skeptic.
THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS
Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it's gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.
You do know that rivers and creeks can go on for miles right? And that they will widen and narrow at various points?
Don't get me wrong, it's entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to "prove his point" about germ theory being wrong. But it's inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.

Fucker probably found the least contaminated part for this stunt.
Don't worry, he put a spiritual spin on it (probably) so it's ok, it's actually cleansing you see!
