ICYMI: Sideshow Bob wants toxic additives out of food and thinks riboflavin (vitamin B2) is one of them. This article contains a link to the asshat blathering about this on Instagram, so it's really not in question whether he knows what riboflavin is.
This is one of several reasons I hit the streets immediately, even when we wondered whether it was safe. (It is.) These people are gonna kill us all one way or another.

What makes me especially angry about his bullshit is it muddies the water for people who are actually trying to advocate for public health. The FDA has tolerated some food additives, like brominated vegetable oil, long after other countries made industries take them out of food and beverages. Like, the EU banned that one in 2008 and it took the FDA until last year.
Conspiracy theorists always use elements of real issues to sound credible, and their disinformation makes credible efforts harder.
@MaryAustinBooks the people using actual conspiracies to capture regulators and stop them from regulating against bad additives are the same people who are pointing to conspiracies as the reason to get rid of good additives. It's deliberate, malicious, methodical mass murder, all for the sake of their fuckin profits
@MaryAustinBooks I don't know about everyone else, but I kinda need my B vitamins right now. And I'm convinced RFK Jr. is HHS secretary to do damage. He's a perfect "useful idiot."
@Meowthias
Yes, the antivax and other disinformation from Putin is meant to destabilize Western countries. It kills his own people too, but he's never cared about that. He's too cowardly to make life any better in Russia so he's decided it's genius to try to make life worse everywhere else.
@MaryAustinBooks So much of the behavior of this regime is explainable only if they are receiving intentionally malevolent instructions from the Kremlin.
@MaryAustinBooks "I'm rich and entitled, I can NEVER be wrong"
that man is such a creep...a cliché of a 'spoiled rich nepo baby'
Bobby Kennedy glad he was assassinated so he didn't have to see how his son turned out
@Lazarou
I use the name "Sideshow Bob" because he does not deserve his father's name. And I feel sorry for the rest of the Kennedy's. I don't care how much money and privilege they have, it's got to be hell to have an actual Nazi for a relative. And in their case, the glare of the spotlight makes it many times worse.
@MaryAustinBooks I recall how the family made a statement along the lines of "no, not this guy, he's terrible" and nobody in power listened or cared.....
@Lazarou
Oh, the rest of the clan is pro-vaccine like JFK was and they have repeatedly tried. His cousin probably knew it wouldn't change the craven GOP senators' actions, but for the sake of her own conscience threw her body across his confirmation trying to block it.
@MaryAustinBooks not just a clown, but a PREDATOR as well....we can all see why Trump picked him, can't we?
