Obesity is no doubt, a combination of diet, exercise, DNA. Much can be said about diabetes and heart disease too. On the one hand, I firmly disagree with the RFK Junior’s school of thought that pedals every imaginable snake oil to solve medical problems. The human body is a chemical engine. Therefore, we must understand all of its parts from a scientific point of view as well as how they relate with each other. Personally, I prefer to see more farmers markets, more fresh fruits, and vegetables, grown in Kentucky, landing on our meal plates. Less processed food is no doubt the better road to travel. Kentucky has a very unique mountain culture from the 37 eastern counties. Our ancestors maximized the use of the land for centuries and funny enough that diet was extremely healthy. Our modern diet might taste good because it’s loaded with sugar, but health wise it totally sucks. More to the point one of my main campaign pillars is that I advocate for a new medical approach addition to our nationwide system of healthcare. We need free preventive healthcare screening for all of our citizens. This can be paid for by Medicare, Medicaid and insurance policies, but ultimately the federal government has to look after the health of our citizens. My program basically says let’s get anyone who has any reason to believe whatsoever that they have an issue to go see a doctor for an examination and diagnosis which will be free. Why? If we catch disease early and can prevent it and or cure it, which is much more likely at an early stage then all of the really bad and expensive ramifications on the backend can be avoided. The basic example is changing the oil in your car. If you do not change that oil and or add oil at some point that engine is gonna freeze up, perhaps explode and turn a $20-$30 oil job into a total loss for that automobile. The human body is no different. So in scientific terms, the answer is, we must follow the evidence that all of our scientific avenues are able to turn up regarding the human body and this maintenance. The most common example on this free preventive healthcare question is of course something like cancer. Cancer is caught at stage one chances of beating that cancer and living at least the normal average lifespan is pretty certain however, if that cancer is not called early say not until stage three or four then often the patient has a few months to live. The system must be retold to prevent harm and not just to try to hopelessly repair harm that has already taken its toll.

I finally believe that we must reforest and re-wild the land that we call Kentucky. Nature has blessed us with some of the best natural resources in the country, but they either go unnoticed, abused, or simply not looked after in a proper way. So the simple answer is we must use federal resources to clean up all waterways, all forests and all parts of the state specifically. Why? The list of benefits from a healthy land touches every part of our lives. It would take all day to list the benefits derived from reforesting, rewilding and cleaning up the natural environment, but it only takes one or two sentences to describe what happens if we don’t. Look around the galaxy and the universe. Do we see life on barren planets? Obviously no so the fate of our environment and planet is the fate of humanity. Clean it or lose it.

I have a page on my campaign website, devoted to data centers. It would be a wise idea to at least listen to the short video on that particular page. But the basic idea is Kentucky is the wrong place for data centers. They don’t produce lasting jobs. They consume huge amounts of water and electricity. Animal populations are badly impacted. This whole data center industry is the main reason why utility bills are going through the roof across the country. Data centers can be made smaller. Every home computer can be turned into a micro data center. See my video link for more analysis. https://www.robertquigleyforcongress.com/data-centers

First RFK Junior is a total whack job. Generally speaking, why would anybody not use modern advances in medicine a.k.a. vaccines and treatments to improve the chemical engine that we call the human body. It makes no sense to me. I think there’s a great deal of recent confusion because of Covid. Let me explain.

In 2020 just as Covid was raging in China and beginning its spread around the world I was at a business meeting with one of my associates, whose family owns a fireworks factory just outside of Wuhan. Within a few days me and a couple of friends that hung out after the meeting came down with the worst flu that we had ever had in our entire lives. To make a long story short, we had contracted Covid. I also contracted it two more times over the next seven or eight months with the Infection being about 50% less severe then the previous infection. Then all of a sudden there was no more infection. During this whole time neither my wife nor our four dogs nor the inside cat nor the dozens of outside community cats came down with Covid. We never took the vaccine, but in our case, the issue was very simple. Why take a vaccine when our natural bodies were able to handle the virus? My wife never even had a sniffling nose nor a cough or a sneeze so some people have natural immunity and others do not. As it turns out people who died almost without exception, had a compromised immune system in some form or fashion or another. Or they just simply had the wrong DNA in relation to that virus.

Now this happened to millions of people and we know that the human body has the potential to carry defenses to covid.

The problem is taking this one example and then saying all vaccines are bad is ridiculous. Both the geological DNA evidence as well as all of the data that was collected around the world during the latest outbreak tells us a science based story.

It also didn’t help matters that the Covid vaccine seemed to have been rushed through a process that normally takes 20 years and it was pressed into service in a few months. So on the one hand it is very natural to understand the publics suspicion of modern medicine. But the reality is, we should have faith and confidence in our medical institutions. They might be too expensive and they might be provided with incorrect delivery processes, but they are making great progress managing our chemical engines a.k.a. our bodies.

In terms of policy choices then the group of vaccines that I took as a young boy born in 1966 should absolutely be mandatory. Of course, once a person turns 18 it is their life and hence their decision. But the evidence of our own lives shows that childhood vaccines have extended life and prevented a huge amount of illness.
