WATCH: RFK Jr. says chemicals in the water turn kids trans…the man is deranged.
It's not as far fetched and fringe as you may think it is. We know there are endocrine disruptors in water supplies: "...exposures to bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are known to reduce fertility in mammals by prematurely activating primordial follicles and altering levels of sex-steroid hormones" Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
@KaivanShroff @realRFKJr There’s literally scientific studies that show this lmao I thought you “were the party of science” But that only applies when convenient, right?
@KaivanShroff @realRFKJr Trans frogs? 😂😂😂😂
Did you even try to google the content of his argument? Are you a subject matter expert in this field? If you listened to him speak for more than ten seconds, you'd hear him repeatedly say that these things should be studied, not that these are already conclusive, as you have portrayed his argument. He's basically just citing this from the NIH. "The herbicide atrazine is one of the most commonly applied pesticides in the world. As a result, atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water. Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations. Previous studies showed that atrazine adversely affects amphibian larval development. The present study demonstrates the reproductive consequences of atrazine exposure in adult amphibians. Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs. Atrazine-exposed males suffered from depressed testosterone, decreased breeding gland size, demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior, reduced spermatogenesis, and decreased fertility. These data are consistent with effects of atrazine observed in other vertebrate classes. The present findings exemplify the role that atrazine and other endocrine-disrupting pesticides likely play in global amphibian declines." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
@KaivanShroff @realRFKJr Social media conspiracy theorists have poisoned our public discourse.
@KaivanShroff @smc429 @realRFKJr He must think Dr Strangelove is a documentary. “It’s an international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids!”
