As a recent graduate with a degree in molecular biology at CU Boulder, it is evident to me that RFK Jr. is an unscientific quack. Research into women’s health remains tenuous as the Trump administration has defunded and then subsequently refunded the Women’s Health Initiative program. Patients also report trusting women doctors less, even though they might offer improved patient outcomes compared to physicians who are men. But RFK Jr. is not the right figure to rally behind. Rather than promoting a medical system grounded in empathy, equity and evidence, RFK Jr. perpetuates a culture of fear and misinformation.
