The Truth about RFK Jr

Planigale said:
Maybe? But she appears to have conflicts of interest which RFK jr. said he would eradicate from the ACIP so she should probably be stricken from that.

She's a senior official within "Children’s Health" Defense, an anti-medicine organisation that spreads scads of lies in order to kill people suffering from health conditions. That should be enough to ban her from all aspects of the medical system.

Problem is, the founder of the above is Grima Wormbrain himself.
 
Schrier says RFK Jr. should be held responsible for 'every death from a vaccine-preventable illness' (PBS News Hour on YouTube, June 24, 2025 - 4:47 min.)
Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., confronted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his decision to replace a panel of vaccine experts who make key recommendations.
Schrier, a pediatrician, said she found this move “deeply concerning.
”The lawmaker then asked the HHS secretary if he’s treated patients, including babies, who have measles, bacterial meningitis, whooping cough, among other illnesses.
The secretary said no to Schrier’s list of inquiries.
Schrier said thankfully, doctors have not had to treat these illnesses in recent years because of vaccines that prevent all these illnesses.
“Here's the thing: Vaccines only work if you actually give them, and we know your record on this,” the lawmaker said. “We rely on the advisory committee on immunization practices, a panel of experts to recommend which vaccines people should get, at which ages and the like.
”Schrier then mentioned how during Kennedy’s confirmation hearings, Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, also a physician, expressed his concerns about Kennedy and his stance on vaccines. Cassidy ultimately voted to confirm Kennedy with the commitment that Kennedy would not change the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Schrier added.
“But then 2 weeks ago, you fired all 17 experts on that very committee,” she added. “Did you lie to Sen. Cassidy when you told him you would not change this panel of experts?”
Kennedy said he never made that agreement to Sen. Cassidy.
Kennedy testified Tuesday on his agency’s budget request before a House panel, where he faced questioning about changes to U.S. vaccine policy, transparency actions, and his replacement of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Cassidy wrote on social Monday that while the ACIP replacements “have scientific credentials, many do not have significant experience studying microbiology, epidemiology or immunology.”
Schrier accused Kennedy of lying to Cassidy in order to secure the senator’s vote.
“You lied to Sen. Cassidy. You have lied to the American people. You have lied to parents about vaccines for 20 years,” she said, “and I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every death from a vaccine- preventable illness at your feet.

It's what he needed to be told, but it obviously won't change anything.

RFK courageously admits he did NO FACT CHECKING (David Pakman Show on YouTube, June 29, 2025 - 7:50 min.)
-- RFK Jr. admitted he did no fact-checking before publishing a conspiracy-filled report, yet still claimed its assertions were accurate

0:50--> Mr. Ruiz, California: You're listed as the chair of the Commission. Did you read the report and fact-check its sources prior to publication?

RFK Jr.: All of the fact that you ...

Mr. Ruiz (interrupts): Did you read the reports and did you yourself fact check them, sir?

RFK Jr.: I did not fact check them.

Mr. Ruiz: You did not fact check. Why then, as has been widely reported, did the report include a citation to sources that don't even exist? How does that happen under your leadership, sir?

RFK Jr.: Foundational assertions in that report are accurate.

Mr. Ruiz: They did not exist. How can they be accurate if they did not exist, sir?

RFK Jr.: Some of the citations ...

Mr. Ruiz: My understanding is that even once the report was updated, more authors and researchers came forward stating that their research was misconstrued. This is quite unbelievable, sir. In fact, I was a pre-med at UCLA. They have a great pre-Med program. If somebody turned this in as an undergrad to their professor at UCLA, they would have received an F, sir, an F for the misinterpretation, the falsehoods, the denials, and also citing references that don't even exist. That's lying and dishonest, sir. My concern here is that you and this administration
are undertaking vast changes to our federal public health system and using purported facts and gold standard evidence that you claim to have as justifications for your decisions, actions, and frankly, your decimation of our nation's public health infrastructure. Yet what you are relying upon isn't real. It isn't data-driven. And it isn't based in fact, science, or reality. Sir, it's wrong. As a secretary of one of the most consequential departments within our federal government, mischaracterizing data is not just some typos in a report that gets put on a shelf.

At SBM David Gorski examined the vote concerning the antibody treatment for RSV, writing. "[Professor Retsef] Levi made a name for himself in the COVID-19 antivax crankosphere with some truly bad science linking cardiac death to COVID-19 vaccination. A man with no relevant expertise in epidemiology, infectious disease, vaccines, or public health, he is a former Israel Defense Forces intelligence officer and an academic whose background is in data modeling, risk management, and organizational logistics...In other words words, even though real experts had done a staged EtR framework analysis, real “gold standard science,” if you will, Levi thought that his anecdotal feels trump science."

Dr. Gorski also discussed the thimerosal vote, "Moreover, once the precedent of an ACIP decision to remove a recommendation for a vaccine based on bad science, no science, and/or pseudoscience has been made, what’s to stop ACIP from doing the same thing with other vaccines? Nothing."

RFK Jr. says medical journals are ‘corrupt.’ As former NEJM editors, we know he’s wrong (STAT News, June 30, 2025)
American medical research is a unique source of national pride and reputation — some would say the United States’ most important export. Yet Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems bent on destroying our greatest successes.
As the latest strike, Kennedy is going after the publications that disseminate medical research. In a recent podcast, he warned that he might bar National Institutes of Health scientists from publishing their research in top medical journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the Lancet. He claimed that these journals are “corrupt” because the studies they publish are often funded by the pharmaceutical industry.
All of us are former editors of the NEJM; two of us are former editors-in-chief. In the podcast, Kennedy claimed that one of us (Angell) said, “We are no longer a science journal, we are a vessel for pharmaceutical propaganda.” In fact, what Angell said in a 2009 article was that “it is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published,” due to researchers’ financial ties with pharmaceutical companies.

At Science-based Medicine Jonathan Howard wrote, "His replacement Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is reviled by NIH employees and facing a mutiny about his censorship there. Instead of responding to their concerns, Dr. Bhattacharya launched a quick and devastating takedown of a brave scientist who had the integrity to speak up about how NIH cuts are upending his cancer trials. So much for promoting a culture of dissent...Even the staid BMJ published an article titled Appointment of FDA Critic Vinay Prasad to Senior Role in Agency Prompts Departures. Fearful staff who remain report that Dr. Prasad seems bored by his job when the cameras are off."
 
At SBM David Gorski discussed other aspects of last week's meeting. He wrote, "That bit about examining the “cumulative effects of vaccines” on children is nothing more than an antivax trope that Jenny McCarthy used to parrot c.2007-2008 about “too many too soon.” The false idea is that children receive too many vaccines too soon and it somehow harms their immune system; there is no good evidence to support this idea."

At SBM Dr. Jonathan Howard quoted another article discussing alleged delays in cancer treatment: "A week later, [RIchard] Schlueter and his wife, Michelle, saw NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya push back on concerns raised by his own staff that the ouster of essential employees and other disruptions to the biomedical research agency were harming science and patients. Bhattacharya said on X that objections raised in a document called the Bethesda Declaration contained “fundamental misconceptions” about NIH’s new direction. Each termination was being reviewed, and some workers were reinstated, he added." This sounds a little like how USAID was treated earlier in the year.
 
Notus reported, "The Department of Health and Human Services paid $150,000 to an Arizona law firm for its expertise on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program — an indication that the department could be readying changes to the VICP, which HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has criticized in the past. The award made last month went to the firm Brueckner Spitler Shelts without specifying an individual recipient. But one lawyer at the firm, Andrew “Drew” Downing, is known nationally for his work litigating claims of vaccine injuries. Downing has also been involved in lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers claiming they downplayed the risks of severe side effects."

At Beyond the Noise Paul Offit wrote, "RFK Jr. isn’t finished. His goal is to make vaccines less available, less affordable, and more feared. The best way to do that—and enrich himself and his personal injury lawyer friends at the same time—would be to make it easier to bring bogus lawsuits to civil court claiming vaccine injuries. This will require manipulating the current Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Toward that end, on June 16, RFK Jr. paid $150,000 to an Arizona law firm with an expertise in the VICP. If RFK Jr. is successful, we will relive what happened in the 1980s when civil litigation in open court reduced the number of vaccine makers from 18 to 4."
 
KFF Health News reported, "In March, the Trump administration abruptly canceled a contract with researchers just as they began a massive covid vaccine study aimed at discovering the genetic traits that make certain people vulnerable to vaccine-triggered myocarditis. That condition struck about 1 in 13,000 teenage boys and young men who received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine in 2020 and 2021".

The article continued, "An email from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, “asked a bunch of irrelevant questions like, Had we ever been funded by China? Did we have collaborators in Europe?” It ordered the network to cease and desist with no due process or means of appeal, Black said. Research funded by the grant had progressed to the point of finding seven genetic variants known to be related to cardiac inflammation in people who got myocarditis postvaccination, said Bruce Carleton, the lead investigator, at the University of British Columbia. Work remains, but the data suggests a $6 test could clear vulnerable patients before they are vaccinated, Carleton said."

RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA 'Very, Very Quickly'

"We need to stop trusting the experts," Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.
gizmodo.com gizmodo.com

in a tucker carlson interview, rfk says we should stop trusting the experts and trust the tech companies ai to accelerate drug approvals. but that’s not the most ridiculous thing he said, it was this

Kennedy told Carlson he was creating an “AI revolution” at the Department of Health and Human Services and was attracting the top people from Silicon Valley who “walked away from billion dollar businesses.” But Kennedy says these people don’t want prestige or power, they just want to make the healthcare system better.

And for decades they've been using a "Medicine uses too broad a brush, it doesn't account for the fact that we're all different. We need to move to individualised treatment!" excuse.
*sigh*
 
From the same interview: "“We are at the cutting edge of AI,” Kennedy said. “We’re implementing it in all of our departments. At FDA, we’re accelerating drug approvals so that you don’t need to use primates or even animal models. You can do the drug approvals very, very quickly with AI.”"

Also, "vaccines aren't safe enough, so we're cancelling research to make them safer."
 
It just seems unthinkable that someone like RFK. Jr. is in charge of HHS. Or that based on his performance to date, he remains in that position. Let's face it, he got the position because it was something he wanted and to get it, he agreed to drop out of the 2024 election and support trump. Those are his real qualifications.

I'm sure he's doing damage that will take years to fix after he's finally gone. It's horrible to see all this unfolding. Really horrible. :eye-poppi
