The Truth about RFK Jr

Trump is one thing, but since it looks like we will have a 2026 election, I think that is as long as RFK Jr will last. Not sure what follow up antivaxx candidate Trump might invent.

When the death-count starts to ramp up, and it will soon enough if measles is any gauge to work with, RFK Jr. will be sacrificed.

I disagree. I think RFK and his actions are popular with the Trump hinterland. Any negative impact of his policies will take years to come out. I think he will continue in post and continue with his populist anti-elitist agenda. Vance / RFK 28 anyone?
 
Dr. Paul Offit wrote, "Like RFK Jr., who has said that Covid vaccines should be removed from the childhood immunization schedule, Vinay Prasad has said that “anyone who adds Covid vaccines to the childhood immunization schedule should be fired” and that “it is a useless vaccine for kids,” despite abundant evidence that Covid vaccines are effective and safe in children less than 5 years of age, and that more than 1,000 American children have died from this disease, about one-third of whom had no known risk factors. Further, Vinay Prasad has said that Peter Marks, his predecessor at CBER, was “either incompetent or corrupt...It’s a dangerous time to be a child in America.”

I don't think RFK Jr needs to finish. He will, more than Vance, just say "my job is done." If he continues 2026-2028, he will lose interest. He does not actually do what he does now. He is even better than Trump at just absorbing ideas and then claiming them as his own. He does not write his books.
 
You may need to pay for shots. Insurance will say they are useless. According to new CDC

👋 Doctor hereRFK Jr. removed all members of CDC vaccine advisory committee and the fear is they will be replaced with those that don't "recommended" already proven vaccines, which means insurance won't cover them.Here is your out of pocket cost:Flu - $20 to $120Shingrix - $400TDAP - $25- $100Prevnar20 -$312HepB series - $120-$330COVID vaccine -$200

That was something I didn't know.
 
The New Republic wrote, "During the confirmation process [Senator] Cassidy explicitly guaranteed that “if confirmed, [RFK Jr.] will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes.” Either Cassidy was lying, or RFK Jr. was lying to Cassidy."

Pay for shots is first. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if approval was rescinded and they end up unavailable at all.

Somewhere upstream I posted one of these mopes saying there will be no COVID vaccines available at all.
 
The Bethesda Declaration of 9 June begins, "For staff across the National Institutes of Health (NIH), we dissent to Administration policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe." A portion of it is as follows:
"Since January 20, 2025, NIH has terminated 2,100 research grants totaling around $9.5 billion and $2.6 billion in contracts. This undercuts long-standing NIH policies designed to maximize return on investment by working with grantees to address concerns and complete studies. Many terminations contradict federal regulations that mandate protections for research participants and require grant awards to specify potential termination reasons. These terminations:

  • Throw away years of hard work and millions of dollars. Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million, it wastes $4 million.
  • Shirk commitments to participants, who braved personal risk to give the incredible gift of biological samples, understanding that their generosity would fuel scientific discovery and improve health.
  • Risk participant health. NIH trials are being halted without regard to participant safety, abruptly stopping medications or leaving participants with unmonitored device implants.
  • Damage hard-earned public trust, counter to your stated goal to improve trust in NIH.
We urge you as NIH Director to restore grants delayed or terminated for political reasons so that life-saving science can continue."
AP reported, "White House spokesman Kush Desai defended the administration’s approach to federal research and said President Donald Trump is focused on restoring a “Gold Standard” of science, not “ideological activism.”"

They have to remember the insane, dead bear toting, whale decapitating Dr. Frankenstein they are talking to. Logic and the common good mean nothing to him. These words mean nothing to him. He needs sanctioning.

For those of us not in the U.K. or Commonwealth, I believe "sanctioning" means "lock him up in a rubber room in a straitjacket and heavily medicated," correct?
