'Doc' Bob's health nut

Our man in America

- by CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

THERE aren’t many things wilder than a cut rattlesnake, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr is giving it a go.

Donald Trump's bonkers Health and Human Services Secretary, who has precisely zero medical training, declared last week that he can tell when a child has “mitochondrial challenges” or “inflammation” just by looking at them.

Standing alongside Texas governor Greg Abbott, who had just signed a Make America Healthy Again bill, Kennedy claimed: “I know what a healthy child is supposed to look like”

That's right, forget doctors, tests or science. According to RFK Jr, all it takes is a quick glance, like some sort of anti-vax Mystic Meg.
