Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other commentators highlight the correlation between Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac and an increase in mass shootings. Clinical trials for these psychiatric drugs resulted in FDA "black box" warnings due to side effects including suicidal and homicidal ideation. Critics argue that the medical establishment affirms mental illness through "gender-affirming care" rather than treating underlying psychological disorders.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces questioning regarding his claims linking antidepressants like Prozac to school shootings. He points out that these drugs carry "black box warnings" for suicidal behavior and argues the correlation should be studied alongside social media and video games. A Senator counters with her personal positive experience on SSRIs, accusing Kennedy of spreading "misinformation" and "stigma."

The FDA added a "black box warning" to the COVID-19 vaccine fact sheets regarding the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly in adolescents aged 12 to 17. Dr. Jane Ruby explains that this is a significant admission of risk, as black box warnings are reserved for the most serious adverse events. Despite this warning, Ruby and Stu Peters note that the government and schools continue to push the injections on the youth.
