Why is this old post from 2022 (Updated Nov 2024) with no scientific information at the top of HN?

Probably related to RFK claims.

Eg https://www.npr.org/2025/06/19/nx-s1-5405595/claims-that-see...

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others have said that seed oils are poisoning Americans. The medical community mostly rejects those claims, but they are causing problems for farmers.

They rejected me for a Covid vaccine today.

A lot of people are going to die.

If you look at the top of HN, the top posts are usually not ones containing "scientific information". Why does this one need to meet that standard, especially when the claim it's debunking isn't based on scientific information either?
