    I do not. I don’t trust RFK Jr to do anything right except possibly by accident.

    Just reinforcing the point that there are legitimate and non-racist uses of race information in medicine.

    Edit: Keep in mind that the comment I replied too seemed to take issue with a list of conditions related to genetics that have different propensities in different races. There are racists like Kennedy on the one side and then there are idiots on the other who think that any credence given to nature over nurture is indicative of racism and could not possibly be backed by objective facts.

      I actually agree with him about some of the food additive stuff. Shame he blew his stopped clock moment before even being confirmed.
