The Truth about RFK Jr

At Unbiased Science (and also available at Medium), Jess Steier wrote, "I would also argue that much of this battle is playing out on social media. A group of us is working on a list of evidence-based social media accounts that we will share. Stay tuned...
We have written a ton of content on how and why we are very confidentthat vaccines do not cause autism. You can search our database at uspodsources.com for social media posts, or our Substack for long-form content, but here are a few:

At Beyond the Noise Paul Offit wrote, "Here’s how the scientific method works. Researchers interested in determining, for example, whether the MMR vaccine causes autism must first form a hypothesis: the null hypothesis. In this case, MMR does not cause autism. Upon completion, researchers can either reject or not reject that hypothesis. But they can never accept the hypothesis. They can never prove never...If RFK Jr. wanted to be honest with the American public, he would make it clear on the CDC’s website that chicken nuggets also might cause autism, which has never been and will never be disproven."

Because of course, being not only wrong but dishonest and mercenary, it's a right wing trifecta!

why is it if you agree with their politics you can just commit whatever crime you want?

Because of course.

The dropping of charges against Utah's Dr. Michael Kirk Moore happened last July. "The indictment alleged more than $28,000 of government-provided COVID-19 vaccine doses were destroyed. They were also accused of providing fraudulently completed vaccination record cards for over 1,900 doses of the vaccine in exchange for either a cash or a donation to a specified charitable organization. The government also alleged some children were given saline shots, at their parents’ request, so the minors believed they were getting the vaccine."
 
On 16 November CBS News wrote, "Washington — Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said he's "very concerned" about a potential change to the hepatitis B vaccine schedule for infants, with a key advisory panel set to meet in the coming weeks...The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, a panel of experts who advise and vote on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine recommendations, is set to meet next month. The draft agenda for the Dec. 4-5 meeting includes discussions of the hepatitis B vaccine, and the meeting could entail votes on recommendations."
 
In early October the Washington Post published an Op-Ed from six former surgeons general of the U.S. It read in part, "Today, in keeping with those oaths, we are compelled to speak with one voice to say that the actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation. Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored...By contrast, Kennedy has spent decades advancing dangerous and discredited claims about vaccines — most notoriously, the thoroughly discredited theory that childhood vaccines cause autism. He has promoted misinformation about the HPV vaccine, which protects against cervical cancer, and he has repeatedly misrepresented the risks of mRNA technology and coronavirus vaccines, despite their lifesaving impact during the pandemic."

Jeremy Faust, host of Inside Medicine, wrote, "In other words, the CDC has become a PR apparatus for Secretary Kennedy and his anti-vaxxer allies, rather than a reflection of the best available science...How bad are things at the CDC? Here’s an indication: When I asked an active CDC employee what he thought about the latest bad news, he literally had to ask, “Which thing are you referring to?” When I pointed him to the newly released autism and vaccines page, he expressed surprise and disappointment, describing the newly updated page as “grossly misleading.”"

At SBM Jonathan Howard discussed the new pandemic playbook written by Jay Bhattacharya, one of the coauthors of the Great Barrington Declaration, and Matthew Memoli: "Along with his Principal Deputy Director Dr. Matthew Memoli, Dr. Bhattacharya recently released a new 1-page pandemic plan in an article titled NIH Directors: The World Needs a New Pandemic Playbook. The Pandemic Accountability Indexpenned a devastating takedown, while Drs. Jeremy Faust and Angela Rasmussen did a thorough refutation of every line. As such, I will limit my discussion to their actual plan to handle a new virus. It was very different from the GBD and it’s foundational principle of focused protection. Dr. Bhattacharya’s new plan is much simpler: vulnerable people should stop being vulnerable. He wrote...That’s it! That’s the entire plan. It’s terrain theory all the way down."
 
At the Pandemic Accountability Index substack, J. J. Kogburne disputed the Bhattacharya/Memoli pandemic playbook. At City Journal the latter two had written, “Sweden, without lockdown or school closures, was the best in the world at protecting human life during the Covid pandemic.” Mr. Kogburne responded, "This is an obscene myth, as we have previously explained in excruciating detail. Schools shut down regularly as a result of unmitigated COVID-19 outbreaks, for example. The “evidence” Jay Bhattacharya cites to support this claim comes from Benjamin “USMortality” Marten, a depraved anti-vaccine Twitter troll with zero scientific credentials who propagates all sorts of obscene conspiracy theories, such as claiming that PCR testing for COVID-19 is entirely fraudulent. The Director of what was once the world’s leading hub for medical & scientific research is now citing abrasive Twitter trolls as “evidence.”"

The NYT wrote, "Experts say Mr. Kennedy is correct, in a narrow sense, in saying that certain studies have not yet been done. But they say he is also asking for a level of proof that is difficult to achieve. As Dr. Arthur Caplan, who directs the medical ethics division at New York University, once wryly noted, “You can’t prove that Coca-Cola doesn’t cause autism either.”" It could be that Paul Offit's Chicken McNuggets hypothesis is correct, but there could also be synergy between the two.

Erudite responses and sensibility aside...and they will certainly be cast WELL aside by RFK Jr...the erroneous and misleading webpage won't get changed until someone sensible is put in charge of the Department of Health again. The current situation is like all the paperboys complaining to Rupert Murdoch about some headlines in the papers they were selling. Robby's response to the "experts" will be the same as Rupert's: ◊◊◊◊ off, you little brats! I'm in charge here!

There's an "if" doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
