A Las Vegas Festival Promised Ways to Cheat Death. Two Attendees Left Fighting for Their Lives.
—

Authorities are investigating why two women fell ill at the Revolution Against Aging and Death Festival. They both received peptide injections, an alternative therapy promoted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a way to fight aging and chronic disease.

@ProPublica These cheat death/anti-aging promoters seem to be idiot magnets. Have these women even looked at a photo of #RFK? He looks decrepit for a man of his age.

Another case in point: centimillionaire Bryan Johnson. All that moolah did not help him think clearly: shooting up his own son's blood, and taking 54 different supplements every day. He apparently never thinks of drug interactions. Yes, supplements are unregulated drugs.

@ProPublica "the coalition’s science board scrutinizes therapy providers before granting them permission to operate a booth in the conference’s exhibition hall, which organizers referred to as a clinic." What treatments get rejected by that board? How far out must those practitioners be?
