RFK’s recent controversial statements about the link between antidepressants and violence have far more of a basis in the biomedical literature than the media lets on.

From Secret MKUltra Files to Public Health Studies—The 80-Year Journey to Truth
It took a church shooting and a controversial health secretary to make America confront what Japanese regulators warned about in 2009¹: SSRIs may provoke sudden acts of violence. As RFK Jr. launches unprecedented government studies into antidepressant-violence links², we’re witnessing the culmination of an 80-year saga that began with Albert Hofmann’s LSD bicycle ride³ and detoured through CIA torture chambers⁴. Today, with 1 in 8 Americans on antidepressants⁵ and youth violence at crisis levels, the question isn’t whether these drugs can trigger aggression—Swedish registries, FDA warnings, and court rulings already answered that⁶—but why it took us this long to listen.
The Minneapolis Catalyst
On August 27, 2025, a shooter opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, killing two children and wounding 18 others⁷. Within 48 hours, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on Fox News to announce that the National Institute of Health was “launching studies on the potential contribution of SSRI drugs to violence.”⁸
The backlash was immediate. Minnesota Senator Tina Smith posted on X: “I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do”⁹. Mental health experts rushed to defend SSRIs, with Columbia psychiatrist Ragy Girgis telling The Washington Post that “all the data suggest SSRIs are not the problem”¹⁰.
Yet Kennedy’s announcement, controversial as it was, marks the first time a U.S. health official at the highest level has openly questioned whether “our ubiquitous use of SSRIs in kids could be a factor in these tragedies”¹¹.
The first thing I ask is where are the return fire shooters?
Then I remembered its the glorious peoples republic of Minnesota, read about Tennessee religious school hiring armed security.
The local Catholic school is having a country fair and hog roast.
Yes we can!
