EXCLUSIVE: RFK Jnr admits using 'legal steroid' to get buff at age 69: Doctors slam hypocrisy of presidential hopeful for using risky blood clot-inducing drug while espousing anti-vaxx views
Daily Mail ^ | 7/07/23 | Caitlin Tilley

Robert F. Kennedy Jnr has admitted for the first time that he uses testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) — which some doctors describe as 'legal steroids'.

The Democratic presidential hopeful admitted he is on an 'anti-aging' protocol prescribed by his doctor that includes TRT, a hormone treatment that can cause an increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks and strokes in some cases.

Mr Kennedy's admissions has led some to call him out for hypocrisy. His political career has been built on peddling hardline anti-vaxx views for years, including the claim that vaccines cause autism and kill more children than they protect.

Speculation about the 69-year-old's physique was rife last month when videos and photos of him looking buff and working out at the beach went viral.

Some doctors at the time suggested he may be using steroids due to the fact that he has made rapid physical gains at his age.

Mr Kennedy told the Lex Fridman podcast Thursday: 'I take a lot of vitamins, I can't even list them to you here because I couldn't even remember them all, but I take atone of vitamins and nutrients.

'I'm on an anti-aging protocol from my doctor that includes testosterone replacement.'

But immediately after his TRT admission, Mr Kennedy told Mr Fridman: 'But I don't take any steroids.'

'I don't take any anabolic steroids or anything like that and the TRT I use is bioidentical to what my body produced.'

TRT, also known as androgen replacement therapy, is used to treat low testosterone levels - but clinics have begun doling it out liberally in recent years due to the treatment's ability to boost muscle mass.

While advocates claim the jabs help men with low testosterone ‘regain their health, vitality and return to a fulfilling sex life’...

Speak for yourself, DD. Have you heard him eviscerate the CIA for example. He knows he’s risking his life every day he enumerates and opposes his own party’s excesses and wringheadedness.

TRT is legal. And it helps some people. So what?

If RFK jr. wasn’t an anti-vaxxer, he would have little or no support on FR.


You’re a PRO-Jabber, and you have ZERO support on FR, so there’s that, $$.

TRT is the best bang for the buck for improving health. If you are over 40, you should consider it. It is the Fountain of Youth.

Get all your Conservative friends on it. Don't tell the Leftists.

Billionaires are doing it, and you can too.

You’re pro-QAnon and have ZERO support in the real world, so there’s that.

RFK jr. supports all sorts of conspiracy theories which is another reason some RF’s support him.

I have a list of FR posters who are anti-vaxxer and haven’t admitted they were wrong or apologized yet.

That’s what they are trying to avoid saying in this article. “Mandated” is the bad word here not vaccinations. Writer is a maroon. Bugs Bunny reference.

RFK isn’t a “hypocrite” for not getting the Falsie/Gates “vaccine” for two reasons: (1) testosterone actually works, and (2) I never heard him try to force it on other people.

Post your ‘list’ and post what they were ‘wrong’ about, tool. Otherwise, buzz completely off, discredited $hot $hill.

You should be the one ‘apologizing’ for pu$hing these horrid $hots.

Odds just changed because an older man is having legal hormone replacement therapy?

I hate to break it to ya, but if you think that you really need a break from the internet/news cycle.

Biden’s medication list would be more pertinent. The real one, not the public one.
