@CNN He's talking about atrazine, which has already been banned in EU. Fact is, we need to do MANY more studies about the effects. Why is everyone desperate, just flat out desperate, to not listen to RFK Jr. before hurling unbased, unfounded insults and smears? https://t.co/v2ELXiyszR

Atrazine Disrupts Sexual Development - In 2004, approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). Today it is 20% https://t.co/bRqMqRVXSg https://t.co/bLL8YkZWIl

@Rothmus Atrazine was created by the 3rd Reich. It was used by much of Europe for 50+ years. For anyone asking why? Well, humans are easier to control who have disrupted endocrine systems. Especially men… https://t.co/dvbaemy00y

@AyannaPressley @POTUS @TheBlackCaucus I went to the apartment heads through our chain of command I asked them to stop using this product because the reports from it are negative. Even Europe band their own product when they found out the negative effects from their own company. https://t.co/khPeep0nfy
