US Authoritarianism

Not as big a deal, but he also wants to get rid of your WiFi and your cell phone:

Departing momentarily from fake vaccine claims, the gang also had a long discussion about the purported dangers of wifi. Children’s Health Defense, the anti-vaccine organization that Kennedy founded and is the chairman of, has long made a number of false claims about electromagnetic, wireless, and 5G technologies. Kennedy suggested that “wifi radiation” could be causing autism, food allergies, asthma, eczema, or other chronic illnesses, which Rogan, in a rare show of basic critical thinking, suggested was “unlikely.”

“I think it degrades your mitochondria and it opens your blood-brain barrier,” Kennedy said, confidently.

Rogan paused and then turned to his producer, Jamie, who often acts as the show’s researcher by Googling things. “Do you see anything online about that?” he asked. After a moment in Google, Rogan paused again.

“Oh my God,” he said, finally, “we gotta get rid of wifi.”

Too bad Joe Rogan is such an idiot. I would have asked RFK Jr. to define mitochondria. It would have made for amusing listening.
