Robert F. Kennedy Jr., America's top health official, sparked controversy by swimming in severely contaminated Rock Creek in Washington, D.C., despite health warnings. The creek, known for sewage overflow issues, is strictly off-limits for swimming due to hazardous bacteria levels, as emphasized by the National Park Service. Kennedy, who lacks scientific training and has a history as an anti-vaccine advocate, has previously expressed disbelief in germ theory, the scientific basis for understanding pathogens and disease transmission. His actions have drawn public scrutiny and raised serious health concerns.
The creek is known for having a sewage overflow problem and posing a health hazard to any who enter it.
A notice on the NPS website advises 'Stay Dry, Stay Safe', warning, 'Rock Creek has high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens.'
