Jordan Peterson, RFK Jr. interview taken down from YouTube over transgender teen conversation: Report

(The Hill) WASHINGTON Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave react to a recent interview Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did with the Daily Wire's Jordan Peterson, in which he commented that Americans are being subject to chemical endocrine disruptors. #rfkjr #jordanpeterson

America still loves JFK (U.S. President John F. Kennedy), who was assassinated by the CIA. They are also fond of his assassinated brother RFK. They liked Ted Kennedy enough to elect him to be a senator though not president, given what happened that time on that bridge, which caused the death of that female.

Now RFK (Robert Francis Kennedy Jr.) walks down a hallway during a recess at the Monsanto trial being held at the Superior Court of California in San Francisco, California on July 9, 2018.

According to the CDC, Atrazine is a widely used chlorotriazine herbicide active against broadleaf and grassy weeds.

Related chlorotriazine herbicides include simazine, propazine, and cyanazine, all of which act by inhibiting plant photosynthesis.

Atrazine is applied pre- and post-emergence to agricultural land for crops such as corn and sorghum. It is also used as a non-selective herbicide.

Atrazine was first registered as an herbicide in 1958. More than 70 million pounds have been applied annually in recent years, with about 75% of corn cropland receiving treatment.

Atrazine has limited water solubility and is not tightly bound to soil: It is leachable (leaks) in to ground and surface waters.

In regions where atrazine is used, it is one of the more commonly detected pesticides in surface and ground waters (USGS, 2007).

In soils, atrazine is slowly degraded to dealkylated products, which have half-lives of several months.

Bacteria and plants can metabolize atrazine to hydroxyatrazine. Atrazine does not bioaccumulate. It has little toxicity in birds and moderate toxicity in some fish and aquatic invertebrates.

Atrazine may alter the sexual development of frogs at environmental levels (Gammon et al., 2005; Hayes et al., 2002; U.S.EPA, 2003a).
