Why the Political Establishment Won’t Touch the Chronic Disease Issue

Two weeks ago, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign for president. In his nearly hour-long speech explaining the decision, Kennedy highlighted what he sees as the three biggest issues facing the United States. The first two—the threat to free speech and the danger of the war in Ukraine—are familiar to anyone following the daily political fights happening online and in the traditional media.

The issue was the scale of chronic disease affecting the American population and, especially, American children.

Government officials, industry insiders, and state-credentialed experts have nothing to gain and everything to lose by actually addressing our country’s health issue.

As Kennedy said in the speech, two-thirds—or around 222 million Americans—suffer from chronic health issues.

One such group was what their rivals called allopathic physicians.
