Bobby Jr. offers new perspective on health

The back story

Last July - and this is true, not made up - RFK Jr. was visiting a hatchery on the Nez Perce Reservation in Idaho and allowed himself to be bitten by a sea lamprey multiple times - even putting the parasitic blood-sucker on his skin himself. 

He tweeted the photos on X but gave no explanation for why he did this. Perhaps a return to the medieval practice of using leeches to cure all ailments, except using a super-sized version. 

Or maybe he wanted to become The Onion's lampoon version of him.

With our esteemed Secretary of Health, who knows?
