And now things get even weirder.

So one of the big things that RFK is really focused on is chronic illness.

And I think actually this is great.

I think we don't approach chronic illness in the best way that we could in our system of health care that emphasizes very Herculean measures in the last like year or two years of practice.

Right.

So we have a system of health care that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient on ICU care and heart transplants and things like that.

I think all those things are fantastic.

We don't do enough for preventive care.

We don't do enough for chronic diseases.

I think this is great.

But here's the really nutty thing.

The better your medical system gets.

the more sick people you will have.

So I want y'all to look at some of these risk factors like threatened abortion, peripartum hemorrhage, brain bleeds.

So what would have happened to these children 60 years ago?

They would have just died.

Now what's starting to happen is we are having these high-risk things.

So like, what is the risk of autism if someone has bleeding in their brain?

That risk is pretty high.

Now we're actually able to save these children.
