When the Social Media Post Starts with “Scientists Say…” Beware

RFK, Jr. — A Menace of Planetary Magnitude
If it weren’t for the extreme danger he represents to everyone on this planet, RFK, Jr. would be a fairly good joke. The idea that the president of the United States would appoint a first-class crackpot with dozens upon dozens …
