I remind people that RFK Jr was planned to be a part of the Obama administration but wasn't believed possible to make it through confirmation hearings with the negative being - he's too leftist. RFK Jr was for a long time a major influencer in hippie medicine. He's pretty much a quintessential example of young 60/70s, often privileged upbringing, hippies that would go on to be today's anti-science (intellectual authority) leaders.

I know plenty of people with degrees that are leftist in most American issues but are the opposite when it comes to health/medicine/nutrition. Plenty of the top of my high schools grade class rankings went to university and were culturally art focused. They would be called hipsters. They have degrees. And quite a number are deep into homeopathy/alt-health. At least a couple have gone down the osteopathy career path and they're not the worse but they do veil the homeopathic uncertainty with their actual scientific jargon knowledge to make it sound more certain

I'm surprised how many liberals are against nuclear power and GMO crops. For a long time I've considered them to be good if done safely, while a lot of liberals are against them across the board. If the alternative is famine and coal power, I think it's worth it.
