When it comes to vaccines, practically nothing that comes out of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s mouth is true.
The man in charge of the health and well -being of the nation is impervious to science, experience and knowledge. Its arrogance brand is not just dangerous, it is lethal. Putting confidence in vaccines, will have the blood of children around the world in their hands.
Scratch that.
He already does it, as the second largest measles outbreak in this country presides since the disease was declared “eliminated” a quarter of a century ago.
“Vaccines have become a divisive theme in American politics,” Kennedy wrote the other day in an essay of Wall Street Journal: “But there is one thing in which all parties can agree: the United States faces a crisis of public trust.”
The lack of self -awareness would be fun if it was not so tragic.
In the last two decades, Kennedy has done more than almost any other American to destroy public confidence in vaccines and sciences. And now he is regretting what he has helped to cause.
Earlier this month, Kennedy dismissed the 17 medical and public health experts of the Disease Control Centers and the Advisory Committee for the Prevention of Immunization Practices (qualified doctors and public health experts, and replaced them with a group of (mostly) Anti-Vaxxers to pursue their incetic custic.
On Thursday, at his first meeting, his recently reconstituted council voted to ban the conservative thymus of the few remaining vaccines that contain it, despite many studies that show that the scammering is safe. At that point, even the Food and Medicines Administration website is overwhelming: “A solid body of scientific studies reviewed by peers carried out in the United States and other countries support the safety of vaccines that contain timerous.”
“If you searched in the world, I could not find a person less adequate to be the main medical care efforts in the United States or in the world,” Psychiatrist Allen Frances said Thursday. Frances, who presided over the working group that changed the way in which the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, defines autism, published an essay at the New York Times on Monday explaining why the incidence of autism has increased, but it is neither an epidemic nor related to vaccines.
“The rapid increase in autism cases is not due to vaccines or environmental toxins,” French wrote, “but it is rather the result of changes in the way in which autism is defined and evaluated, changes that I helped to imply.”
But Kennedy is not one to let the facts stand in the path of their Cockamamie theories. A long time ago, manufacturers eliminated the thymus of children's vaccines due to the unfounded fears contained in mercury that could accumulate in the brain and the unfounded fears about a relationship between mercury and autism.
That did not arrested one of the new members of the Kennedy council, Lyn Redwood, who once directed the defense of children's health, the Anti -Cuna group founded by Kennedy, to declare a victory for children.
“Eliminating a known neurotoxin of being injected into our most vulnerable population is a good place to start making the United States again healthy,” Redwood told the committee.
Autism rates, by the way, have continued to rise despite the prohibition of the thymusal. But do not fear, credulous Americans, Kennedy has promised to determine a cause of the complex condition for September!
Like his boss, Kennedy only invents things.
On Wednesday, he stopped an American commitment of $ 1 billion with Gavi, an organization that provides vaccines to millions of children worldwide, erroneously accusing the group not to investigate adverse reactions to the dipteria vaccine.
“This is completely disastrous for children around the world and for public health,” said Atul Gawande, a surgeon who worked in the Biden administration, to New York Times.
Unilaterally, and unlike evidence, Kennedy decided to abandon the recommendation of CDCs that healthy pregnant women receive Covid vaccines. But a COVID infection of non -vaccinated pregnant woman can lead to serious health problems for her newborn. In fact, a study last year found that babies born to such mothers had “unusually high rates” of respiratory anguish or just after birth. According to CDCs, almost 90% of babies who were hospitalized by COVID-19 had non-vaccinated mothers. In addition, vaccinated mothers can transmit protective antibodies to their fetuses, which will not be able to receive a COVID shot until 6 months.
What else? Oh yes: Kennedy once told Podcaster Joe Rogan that the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 was “flu induced by the vaccine” despite the fact that there was no flu vaccine at that time.
He also told Rogan that a 2003 study conducted by the doctor's scientific doctor Michael Pichichero, an expert in the use of thymus in vaccines, involved feeding 6 -month -old babies and tuna sandwiches contaminated with younger mercury, and that 64 days later, the mercury was still in his system. “Who would do that?” Kennedy demanded.
Well, nobody.
In the study, 40 babies were injected with vaccines containing thimerous, while a 21 babies control group received shots that did not contain the preservative. None was fed with tuna. Ethhylmercury, the Mercury form in the Timerosal, the researchers concluded, “seems to be eliminated from blood quickly through feces.” (By the way, the mercury found in fish is methylmercury, a different chemist, which can damage the brain and nervous system. In a 2012 deposition due to its divorce, which was revealed last year, Kennedy said he suffered the loss of memory and brain fog due to mercury poisoning caused by eating too much fish of so much. brain).
Kennedy's tuna sandwich anecdote in Rogan's podcast was “a chatgpt level of hallucination,” said Morgan McSweeney, also known as “Dr. Noc”, a scientist with a doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences, focusing on immunology and antibodies. McSweeney discredits the idiots medical statements of non -scientists such as Kennedy in their popular social networks videos.
Speaking of hallucinations of AI, on Tuesday, at a hearing of the Congress Committee, Kennedy was interrogated about inaccuracies, erroneous information and invented investigation and appointments for non -existent studies in the first report of his commission Make America Again Again.
The report focused on how American children are being harmed by their bad diets, exposure to environmental toxins and, as expected, excessive vaccination. He was immediately saved by experts. “This is not a report based on evidence, and for all practical purposes, it must be discarded at this point,” Georges C. Benjamin, Executive Director of American Public Health Assn. He told Washington Post.
If Kennedy were sincere about improving the health of American children, he would focus on fighting real flagella such as armed violence, drug overdose, depression, poverty and lack of access to preventive medical care. He would be fighting the cuts proposed to the teeth and nails of Medicaid.
Do I suppose that you even know that in the last 50 years, the lives of approximately 154 million children have been saved by vaccines?
Or what cares?
