I appreciate RFK Jr and what he is trying to say, but did he just say that he wants everyone to be wearing a wearable medical device within 4 years?

It is a hard no! for me.

I think it is a noble goal, as long as it isn't actually required. Here's why: Heart attacks are down 90 percent! But heart issues are still a problem. People are more aware of high blood pressure and irregular heartbeats and get care.

Yes, "as long as it's not required" sounds good. However, how long before insurance companies start giving incentives if you wear one, and penalizing if you don't wear one?

I will support laws that prevent them from doing just that, because otherwise, it will be a slippery slope. I can see people being penalized if the wearable device detects that they had a piece of cake while they are diabetic and reporting it to the insurance company. That's just too much medical surveillance!

I agree! I think it's just to catch a few different types of heart issues and save lives.

Yes. As he’s dismantling all kinds of healthcare for us. He wants to track people via smart watches. 5G, too, for those who were going on about it before.

He has no good reasons for doing this. It’s so weird to see people cheering him on.
