Health secretary backs chemtrails myth

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the government will investigate chemtrails, a conspiracy theory claiming planes secretly seed the sky with chemicals for weather control or population control.

“We're also looking at chemtrails at the impact of emissions from aircraft, and those potential impacts on health.”

He made the claim at an anti-vaccine group

Kennedy gave a keynote speech at Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine nonprofit he helped create, filled with unproven health claims.

The EPA already debunked this

Plane trails are contrails, condensation created by hot jet exhaust meeting cold air, like breath on a cold day. The EPA formally debunked the chemtrails theory about a month after RFK previously vowed to investigate it.

Measles cases surge under his watch

Pennsylvania has recorded over 3,300 measles cases, the worst outbreak in over three decades, likely caused by anti-vaccine rhetoric promoted by RFK and others. The CDC under his leadership is refusing to count some measles deaths reported by state officials.

His priorities are deeply misaligned

While measles spreads and kills people, Kennedy focuses on debunked chemtrails conspiracy. His willingness to investigate a theory the government supposedly perpetrates shows how far he's gone down the conspiracy rabbit hole.
