To him: yes. To his grandkids: no. They don't deserve to get sick and possibly die just because their grandpa is an idiot.

RFK Jr entered into a tontine with himself. He's the only member.
The water is now less clean for having him in it
Stuff like this isn't a problem, until it is.
What was in that sewage? Anybody with typhoid? Diphtheria? Probably not because vaccination and treatment is still over herd immunity levels. Then, of course, there were the kids who used to get vaccinated for Polio naturally by exposure to untreated sewage, and us rich countries having terrible cases of polio survival in older people because we didn't bathe in toilet outflows.
Thing is, it's a numbers game. The first hundred people might not get sick, immediately, but if you form two lines, one bathing in the sewage pool and the other bathing in a treated sanitary pool, run 100 people a day through each one and track them for two weeks, you'll see the differences. That's why we have scientific publications, so we can read about these kinds of past experiments and don't have to repeat them.

That little girl looks like she's even sick of grandpa's shit. Hair is bone dry in every photo and the only one of her actually in contact with the water, she's kicking it in his face. She honestly looks visibly upset when he's dangling her brother over it.

Let him swim in the Seine!!!
Can someone arrest him for child endangerment?
Lol you can't arrest a rich person, that's not how this works
In my state if you swim in any body of water it's almost always tainted somehow, maybe not with sewage but perhaps some other toxic pollutant. The only exception I can think of is the man-made reservoirs used for drinking water that people swim...
and pee in.
Jesus Christ what happened to water just being normal, dirty, outside water? How did we fuck it up this badly?
Because that's environmentalist extremism. You have to be reasonable and allow the rich to rob everyone at least a little. /s
even in a natural body of water, they have parasites in them, like amoebas, gardia, parasitic eggs,,,etc. because animals die and shit in the water too. and parasites love using aquatic hosts like snails and crustaceans, and amphibians.

So brain worms are back on the menu?
he needs to replenish his intestinal e-coli with pathogenic e-coli probiotics.
THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS
Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it's gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.

How is he still alive?
Heroin kills everything.
Go Darwin! 🎉
Is he sewage-skeptic too?
He's the septic skeptic.
If ever someone truly deserved a Herman Cain award, it's this man right here!
