Because he sounds like Darth Vader? Seriously. The man can barely speak above a harsh whisper. Like a four pack-a-day man after 40 years. Don’t know what he’s been doing, but it’s taken its toll.Why is RFK Jr breathing like Darth Vader during this entire hearing and twitching, fidgeting and shaking constantly? https://t.co/IraFO43KZC

Maybe it's his mitochondria. Though I will note that his voice and breath control problems are right in line with severe steroid abuse, as is his grotesque physique. I will also call your attention to this paper:
ReplyDeleteAnabolic–androgenic steroids and heroin use: A qualitative study exploring the connection
Abstract Anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS), colloquially called ‘steroids’, are commonly used drugs by young males (McVeigh, Beynon, & Bellis, 2003). Known associations with AAS use include poor peer relations and poor self-esteem (Kindlundh, Hagekull, Isacson, & Nyberg, 2001), physical abuse, mental abuse and social disadvantage (Skarberg & Engstrom, 2007). Various studies have also noted the association with illicit drugs including heroin and other opiates (Buckman et al., 2013, Dodge and Hoagland, 2011, Hakansson et al., 2012, Kindlundh et al., 2001, McCabe et al., 2007, Petersson et al., 2010).
There are several possible explanations for the association with opiate use. One possible explanation is a common association with criminality and deprivation (Gårevik and Rane, 2010, Skarberg and Engstrom, 2007). A second possible explanation is that heroin might depress gonadotropin-releasing hormone, reduce endogenous testosterone (Quaglio et al., 2008) and therefore predispose the individual to replacement through AAS. A further possible explanation is that both may share similar hedonistic neuropathways; this has been suggested as the reason for the high prevalence of opiate users in a group of AAS users with features of dependence compared to a group of AAS users without features of dependence (Kanayama, Hudson, & Pope, 2009).
Further reasons though for the association between heroin and AAS use may lie in the social and cultural context in which heroin is used. This paper draws on findings from a qualitative study of AAS users to provide socio-cultural explanations for the link between AAS and heroin use.
His cousin Caroline warned the Senate that RFK, Jr. is a monster. I’m inclined to the wholly unscientific view that his behavior takes its toll, outside of drug abuse. But that explanation 👆 is a very helpful one, and certainly the sounder analysis.
