The Truth about RFK Jr

At ImmunoLogic Andrea Love wrote, "He [RFK, Jr] told the COP6 delegates [to the Minamata Convention] that now that he has ensured no American have access to vaccines containing thimerosal, he was taking his plan global. This isn’t shaping policy, it’s propagating a deadly lie." Dr. Love went on to state, "Like with all chemophobia, his argument relies on people believing that any and all chemical compounds that include an atom or ion of mercury are 1) the same and 2) dangerous in all instances. This is chemically, biologically, and toxicologically wrong."

Other nations are likely to affected by the removal of thimerosal: "You should also care about what happens when infectious diseases aren’t controlled by vaccines in one country—because contrary to discourse on social media, pathogens don’t adhere to country borders. Disease anywhere becomes risk everywhere. That’s how outbreaks go global."

MedPageToday reported on Vinay Prasad: "Through his leadership at the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH has pushed out at least 7 senior leaders and created an environment that employees worry threatens the center's ability to function, STAT reported..."It's worse than part one," an FDA official told STAT. "Part one, he was figuring out where he was fitting. He was more cautious. He came back from the firing with a feeling of invincibility. ... He came back with an attitude of, 'I will do whatever I want.'""
 
The McCullough Foundation released a report on 27 October. According to Jess Steier and colleagues, it claimed that the "“combination and early-timed routine childhood vaccination constitutes the most significant modifiable risk factor for ASD,” depicted alongside a pie chart showing that vaccines make up half of the underlying causal factors of autism. At Unbiased Science Dr. Steier responded, "There is no reason for alarm. Though recently published, this report does not introduce any new concepts or evidence that would support a link between vaccines and autism...The foundation’s mission to turn ‘advocacy into actionable research’ is also noteworthy...Finally, and perhaps most telling, this report was uploaded to Zenodo, which is an open repository where anyone can post documents without scientific scrutiny. It did not undergo rigorous peer review and is not a scientific journal with credibility."
 
Aimee Bernard discussed the responses to a virus versus to a vaccine at the Unbiased Science Substack. She wrote, "
Calling infection “natural” implies it’s somehow better or safer. In reality, infections that happen out in the wild (think schools, grocery stores, and soccer games) are uncontrolled, unpredictable, and often dangerous. And calling vaccines “artificial” makes them sound synthetic or foreign, when in fact they work by engaging the same cells and components of the immune system that infections do. So, let’s reframe the conversation: it’s not “natural vs. artificial,” it’s out in the wild exposure vs. guided immunity...So, the next time someone talks about “natural immunity,” ask them: Would you rather train your immune system with practice from a vaccine — or throw it into a real fight and hope for the best?"

It also works for, "dirt is natural, soap and disinfectant are artificial, we should let nature follow its course" …

(and then I told my soap refractory 5 years old nephew "let's make a deal, you'll only wash one hand before the meal, the left one, it is easier to rub with your right". It took him 1 minute into soaping his hands, and his sister's snicker, to figure out how I tricked him …)
 
Jonathan Howard quoted a STAT article regarding Vinay Prasad: "Dozens of scientists are considering leaving the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, where Prasad serves as director, to escape a work environment that eight agency officials described to STAT as rife with mistrust and paranoia...The fear has been fueled by Prasad pushing at least seven senior leaders out of their positions, employees told STAT, and offering no public explanations to staff or the leaders’ supervisors...CBER employees are concerned that the exodus of employees and the worsening morale problems will affect the functioning of the center..."

Dr. Howard continued, "We also don’t have to pretend that Dr. Prasad would have been a capable of doing those things himself had he been in power when a new virus swamped morgues and hospitals in a few weeks’ time. He wouldn’t have run RCTs. He wouldn’t have kept schools open."
 
NPR ran a story on the childhood vaccine schedule. "Some people who are worried about vaccines argue the number of different antigens and other ingredients could overwhelm a child's immune system. But babies' immune systems can handle it, says Maldonado and other scientists. Children are exposed to far more stimulation naturally from microbes than from vaccines. And vaccines have been refined over the decades to minimize the number of ingredients they contain. There are about 170 different components in the various shots in today's vaccine schedule, Offit says, which is "actually less than the vaccines that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and I got as children of the early 1950s," Offit says."
 
David Gorski, at the blog Science-based Medicine, examined the McCullough report attempting to link vaccination with autism, using Steve Kirsch's reaction to this report. "One final thought I had. What Kirsch is proposing might, on its surface, seem to be science-based medicine (SBM). After all, we have long argued that basic and preclinical science findings should be included in any evaluation of a medical treatment or causation claim, particularly for alternative medicine. Here’s the difference. What SBM proposes is to use basic science findings to increase scientific rigor. In other words, we like to point out that homeopathy is physically impossible, that, for homeopathy to be true, huge swaths of well-established scientific findings in physics, chemistry, and biology would have to be not just wrong, but spectacularly wrong. In other words, we propose that what we know about science will primarily cast doubt on fantastical claims. In contrast, what Kirsch seems to be doing is to argue that all sorts of preliminary and contradictory basic science and preclinical data should be brought in to cast doubt on well-founded clinical and epidemiological findings by claiming that, even though we don’t find a hint of a whiff of a suggestion in datasets and large, well-designed clinical trials and epidemiological studies that vaccines increase the risk of autism, some study in which mercury or aluminum is put into the culture medium of neurons in a dish at a high concentration causes toxicity should cast doubt on all of that. I hope you can see the difference."

As much as I hate to say this, RFKJr has done something good. And seemingly for the right reasons:

RFK Jr. says FDA taking ‘black box’ warnings off menopause hormone therapy drugs

‘We are returning to evidence-based medicine,’ HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said

“More than 20 estrogen-related products used to treat hot flashes and other symptoms for decades will no longer carry a warning label about cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and probable dementia.”
 
The host of Respectful Insolence reflected upon a recent MAHA conference: "It suggests to me that CHD [Children's Health Defense] is the past and that more radical antivax groups are the present and the future, which is profoundly depressing to think about...Two of the usual Congressional suspects were in attendance, as well, namely Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson. Speaking by video, Sen. Paul “questioned” parts of the childhood vaccination schedule and gave a talk entitled “Why Isn’t Tony Fauci in Prison?” For his part Sen. Johnson, not unexpectedly, let his antivax freak flag flight high:"

The New York Times covered the MAHA conference last weekend. "“God is an anti-vaxxer, and he needs you to speak up,” declared Del Bigtree, a close ally of Mr. Kennedy who served as his communications director during his presidential campaign...Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the Florida surgeon general who likened vaccine mandates to slavery, spoke. So did Andrew Wakefield, whose now-retracted 1998 study linking vaccines to autism cost him his medical license. Both were lauded as heroes."

You can see the moral and scientific bankruptcy of MAHA when Wakefield is welcomed with open arms. I am convinced that MAHA will be by a large measure the greatest evil of Trump and RFK Jr.
 
“It’s very intelligent to start with food and moving chemical petroleum dyes out of our food supply, getting lead and arsenic out of baby food, saying that you care about doing studies for safety,” Bigtree told POLITICO at the event. “All of those things, I think, are making people realize on the liberal side, ‘This isn’t the person that I expected. Oh, he’s not eradicating the vaccine program. He just wants safety testing.’”
