Just so you know where your leaders’ priorities are at, US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the government will investigate “chemtrails” — a conspiracy theory held by people who would have you believe that the airplanes of the world are secretly seeding our skies with chemicals to change the weather, or maybe biological agents to keep the masses under control.
Kennedy made this avowal while giving a keynote speech at none other than the Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine advocacy nonprofit that he helped create (a newsworthy item in itself). Living up to the occasion, his speech was replete with crank ramblings and unproven health claims, but one aside stood out from all the others.
“We’re also looking at chemtrails at the impact of emissions,” RFK wheezed, to a round of applause.
He finishes his sentence. “Emissions from, um, aircraft, and those potential impacts on health.”
