Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is breaking through the media silence on an uncomfortable truth: America may be fueling its own violence epidemic through psychiatric drugs pushed by Big Pharma.

RFK Jr. declared that for the first time, the federal government is conducting real studies to determine whether America's sky-high dependence on psychiatric medications is tied directly to the surge in random, senseless shootings that have horrified communities coast to coast.

"I certainly consider mass shootings a health crisis. For the first time, we are doing real studies to find out what the ideology behind them is. We're also looking, for the first time, at psychiatric drugs," RFK Jr. said during a news conference in Texas on Thursday.

Kennedy pointed out that guns have been part of American life for centuries, but the phenomenon of mass random shootings is entirely modern.
