A More Dangerous Error: Demonizing Psychiatric Medications
More troubling than blaming video games is RFK Jr.’s suggestion that psychiatric medications are a cause of school shootings. These treatments are essential tools for helping adolescents manage anxiety, depression, and even violent impulses. By stigmatizing them, he risks discouraging vulnerable children from seeking care, which could in turn worsen the very tragedies he claims to address.
Opinion and Commentary
RFK Jr.’s remarks are not just a reflection of his conspiracy-driven worldview—he has also claimed “chemtrails cause illness” and “WiFi causes brain leakage”—they are an active diversion from the real issues at hand. The persistent scapegoating of video games is a dangerously lazy form of explanation. It obscures the true roots of the problem: systemic inequality, a failing mental health system, and the unchecked proliferation of firearms.
In my view, RFK Jr.’s comments are not laughable; they are lethal. As Health Secretary, he has the authority to shape public policy and public perception. By spreading false causation, he misleads the public and undermines trust in proven mental health interventions. This kind of misdirection is more dangerous than any video game—because it deprives the ongoing school shooting crisis of meaningful solutions.
Conclusion
Video games are not the cause of school shootings. What poses a greater danger is RFK Jr.’s erroneous rhetoric and policy stance, which risk making America’s school shooting epidemic even worse.
