Bill Nye Says Barrage Of Old Texts From RFK Jr. Prove He's 'Not Suited For This Job'
HuffPost
The "science guy" shared what Men's Health described as "miles and miles" of texts from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Bill Nye revealed a barrage of old text messages from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., some of which were links to articles promoting vaccine skepticism.
“And if you read these articles he sent, they’re all this speculation about autism and just cause-and-effect, and mercury in vaccines, that maybe there’s a connection,” Nye told Men’s Health in an interview published Tuesday.
Nye, known as “Bill Nye the Science Guy” after his popular 1990s educational show of the same name, told the magazine that he and Kennedy met through a mutual friend several years ago when Kennedy was an environmental activist. Nye did not specify exactly how old the text messages were.
Nye said Kennedy had “just no self-awareness” during their text exchange, which included what Men’s Health described as “miles and miles” of long messages from Kennedy, with little response from Nye.
“I wrote him back and said, ‘Okay, I’ll read your book. I think you’ve confused causation with correlation.’ Your friend, Bill,” Nye recalled.
