I think RFK thinks that swimming in contaminated water somehow helps build immunity.
George Carlin has a bit about swimming in polluted water as a child and his immune system being tempered in raw shit. I wonder if this nut job did not understand that was a joke?
That Carlin clip has been circulated in various alternative medicine quackery communities for a long time, I doubt RFK Jr. has any media literacy. The similar notion has somewhat entered in mainstream discourse with the concept of "immunity debt".
