Robert F. Kennedy Jr. @HHS, snake oil salesman (peptide injections edition)

 

Headline and subhead:  ProPublica, 7/29/2025

Anjeanette Damon reports:

The two women, who are recovering, fell ill after receiving peptide injections at a conference booth. The doctor who ran the booth was a Los Angeles physician specializing in “age reversal” therapies who did not have permission to practice medicine or dispense prescriptions in Nevada. Public health investigators are trying to determine if anyone else who attended the Revolution Against Aging and Death Festival experienced a similar illness. 

The investigation comes as peptides grow in popularity, thanks in part to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promotion of the amino acid chains as a way to fight aging and chronic disease.  [emphasis added]
