RFK Jr. Urges Investigations Into SSRIs and Mass Shootings

“Why is it that Switzerland, which has comparable levels of guns, has not had a mass shooting in 21 years, and we have one every 21 hours? Why is that?” Robert Kennedy Jr. asked.

“When I was a kid, kids my age were bringing their rifles to schools for shooting clubs. Nobody ever blinked at that. Nobody ever started shooting at other children at schools.”

Kennedy mentioned that SSRIs have “a black box label on it saying may cause homicidal and suicidal behavior,” but the National Institutes of Health (NIH) isn’t interested in discovering if there’s a link to mass shootings.

“Since 1996, NIH has had a policy not to study the etiology of the origins of gun violence, and I’m going to change that.”
