Obviously this is a generalisation. There are some great wellness personalities out there, but they are the exception, not the rule. read the full thread for more details
The self-help / wellness industry is full of snakes and cons.
“Wellness” is a word they invented so they didn’t have to admit they weren’t health practitioners.
Corporate America bought and sold it just like all the other atomized self help nonsense.
For non-Americans: I needed a translator for the acronyms
Literal Meaning:
RFK = Robert F. Kennedy Jr
HHS = Department of Health and Human Services
Meaning (my guess): A head of public health who will end up gutting health measures for the public so they get sick and have to spend more money in the private sector.
Am I close?
RFK ran for president on a third party ticket before dropping out and endorsing Trump. He was running in the first place to attempt to syphon democratic votes because his father was a very popular democratic Senator and Attorney General who was assassinated and his uncle was John F Kennedy, a very popular democratic President who was assassinated. They thought democrats would vote for him on name recognition alone but the longer he campaigned the more extreme he revealed himself to be and it eventually became apparent that he was more likely to syphon Trump voters than Harris voters. He infamously became infected with brain parasites after eating a dead bear he found on the side of the road, he picked up another roadkill bear but got busy and was concerned it would start to smell so he dumped it in Central Park. He is anti vaccine saying that they cause more harm than the diseases that they prevent and believes that vaccines cause autism. He doesn’t believe that hiv causes aids. He believes that antidepressants cause school shootings and that chemicals in the water (mostly targeting fluoride) make children transgender. He believes that 5g networks are a secret mass surveillance program and that the CIA was responsible for his uncle’s assassination.
TLDR?
1.ran 3rd party to try to hurt Harris but hurt Trump more 2.Ate roadkill bear and got parasites that ate part of his brain 3.Is a believer in various conspiracies including vaccines causing autism, HIV and AIDS being unrelated, that antidepressants cause school shootings, and that fluoride in water makes children transgender.
One out of six ain’t bad. Wait, who am I kidding, that’s a horrible record.
rich people vote to keep themselves rich. cant not be rich when you buy $250 workout sets and drink powdered, overpriced juices
I have to admit this caught me off guard when I saw many of them celebrating on SM.
I’d be willing to put what little money I have that the Venn diagram comparing “Wellness Influencers” and “People who believe in Eugenics” is almost one full circle.
