The Truth about RFK Jr

[Andy_Ross]

Bash: "Do you accept some responsibility for this measles outbreak?"

RFK: "Absolutely not…Did I cause those measles outbreaks?"

Bash: "You're the most famous vaccine skeptic on the planet."

RFK: "The reason we're having a measles outbreak is because of the COVID lockdowns."

My dog he's useless.

Just useless? He's a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ insane brainless twat who is actively taking actions that will kill people! He's also a lord of denial, misdirection and obfuscation! I hope he eventually sees the inside of a prison cell.

Pandemic history revisionism.
There's a lot of that going around:

A Review of “In Covid’s Wake”: According to Laptop Class Professors, the Heroes of the Pandemic Were Laptop Class Professors (Science-Based Medicine, Mar 25, 2025)
The authors of the Great Barrington Declaration prevented fair and honest discussion by constantly spreading fake information. The authors of a new book don’t care at all.

It's all in
The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis (Author)
The states had to run it. Fauci was listening in on the phone committee every week as the health officials of each state handled it.

Looks like RFK Junior days as Health And Human Services director will end soon.

Trump Turns Up the Heat on RFK Jr.
The president has made clear he thinks he has given Kennedy enough time and is disappointed the health secretary hasn’t accomplished more in the past year and a half, the people said.

Kennedy will be a failure if he doesn’t make progress on the issue, the president has told aides, some of the people said.

Trump signed an executive order at the end of May demanding Kennedy’s agency cut back the number of recommended vaccines in the childhood schedule, saying the U.S. was out of step with other nations. Some top health officials were confused and surprised by the order, because they were following an earlier message from the White House to ease up on their vaccine efforts.

According to the article, alternative free link, he will be replaced by the much more flexible Mehmet Oz.

All this because Barron has borderline autism from vaccines/tylenol?

Not exactly a lord. More like a bumbling lying sniveling knave.

1/n Watching Kennedy make one false statement after another on @CNNSOTU
@DanaBashCNN
1. The U.S. neither had the highest number of Covid deaths (that was India by 4X) nor the highest death rate.
2. The U.S. did have 200,000-300,000 unnecessary deaths among people who refused Covid vaccines
3. It was indeed the governors who issued stay at home orders after ICUs across the country were overwhelmed with sick and dying patients

2/n more
4. He absolutely did publicly try to discredit the MMR vaccine in his time as HHS Secretary, saying it was “leaky,” declined 4% in protective immunity annually (it’s 0.04%), or contaminated with aborted fetal remnants, and lied about the reasons kids were hospitalized
5. He said RSV was made through GoF, that’s ridiculous

3/n more
5. He still brings up fake vaccine-autism links despite the overwhelming evidence that there is no link
6. He continues to deny the role of autism genes and won’t investigate the actual environmental factors that interact with autism genes such as valproic acid

5/n more
7. Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine did nothing to help Covid patients nor did it prevent Covid, nor do budesonide clarithromycin vitamin A infusions substitute for MMR

6/n
I thought @DanaBashCNN did a very good job both pushing back on Kennedy’s nonsense while being respectful to someone who is anything but…

HHS Rapid Response on X, Aug 2, 2026
.@SecKennedy to @DanaBashCNN: “None of the eight vaccines that are administered during the first six months of life have ever been studied for a relationship to autism."

That’s false: the scientific community has investigated every single fake assertion from Kennedy and the antivaccine activists: 1) starting in 1998 with their false assertion about MMR, 2) then Kennedy wrote that ridiculous article in Rolling Stone in 2005 also retracted, 3) then Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey paraded around in green t shirts saying we have to “green” our vaccine ecosystem and separate vaccines, all BS, 4) then it was aluminum also debunked. Meanwhile DHHS refuses to acknowledge the role of several hundred autism genes and also refuses to investigate actual known environmental toxins that interact with autism genes like valproate. This is all to benefit the corrupt wellness influencer industry, it’s all about their filthy lucre

Google AI explains:

Instead, scientists use fetal cell lines—self-replicating cells grown in a lab that descend from tissue taken from elective legal abortions performed in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. These historical lines were created because human viruses grow much better in human cell cultures than in animal cells, and the original fetal tissue provided a sterile environment free of contaminating animal viruses.

In response to Dr. Craig Spencer's Atlantic article, Dr. David Gorski wrote, "Indeed, when it comes to MAHA, just as his boss Donald Trump is for MAGA, RFK Jr. is Grifter-in-Chief, with his antivax organization profiting mightily off of its efforts, with RFK Jr. and his ally, antivax attorney Aaron Siri, profiting off of their legal efforts against vaccines. Nary a peep is seen in Dr. Spencer’s article about this, and I haven’t even gotten to the supplement-industrial complex that is now highly influential among MAHA, which, it must be acknowledged, is rife with COIs."

 

[Chris_Halkides]

Politico reported on RFK Jr's interview with Dana Bash: "“I’m not attacking you. I’m asking questions about how to prevent the next pandemic,” Bash replied. “But I also don’t want to use this interview to allow you to say things that aren’t entirely true. You’re talking about therapeutics — fine. It is also factually true that the Covid vaccine worked. The Covid vaccine prevented deaths. There is data upon data upon data.”

"Kennedy, however, dismissed those studies. “You are saying nonsense. You are saying something that you cannot show me a single study that says that,” Kennedy said, accusing Bash of “scaring people” about Covid “because that was the job of CNN.”"

 

[lionking]

Of all the people I want to see in jail within the Trump administration (and there are many) RFK Jr is number one. He will end up responsible for more deaths. More even than Trump himself.

 

[Resume]

It's lie after bull ◊◊◊◊ after lie with this corrupt administration.

With seemingly no consequence.

ETA: Dash did get him to recommend the MMR vaccine for schoolchildren, but that's akin the closing the barn door after them cattle is all let out.

'It's a LIE!’: Morning Joe FACT CHECKS RFK Jr. on Covid (MS NOW on YouTube, Aug 3, 2026 – 6:17 min.)
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made several controversial and often false claims about COVID-19, vaccines, and measles over the weekend during an interview on CNN. Many of the claims made by Secretary Kennedy, who is not a doctor, flatly contradict established scientific evidence. Dr. Omer Awan is physician and Senior Public Health Contributor for Forbes. Dr. Awan joins Morning Joe to fact check the misinformation spread by Secy. Kennedy.

2:56–> RFK Jr.: Anthony Fauci was mismanaging the COVID pandemic. He was doing it under the Biden administration.
President Trump wanted to end the lockdowns and, in fact, in Anthony Fauci's diaries, he talks about how President Trump is calling him every day trying to get him to reopen the country.
CNN host: Yeah, well, the lockdowns were done by governors.
I mean, certainly Anthony Fauci and the president had opinions, but the lockdowns were done by governors and largely because they were hearing from hospitals saying that their ICUs were overrun and they needed some help while that was happening.
RFK Jr.: Well, that's just not true. What you're saying is not true. No, they were doing it because Anthony Fauci was telling them from the top, Ýou need to lock down!'
There were ICUs that were empty all over the country, including in New York at the height.
Morning Joe host: Kennedy's claim is false and frankly infuriating.
In March of 2020, FEMA sent 85 refrigerated trucks to New York City to serve as temporary morgues because hospitals in the nation's largest city were at full capacity. Hundreds of bodies had to be stored in those trucks. Additionally, the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus surpassed 400,000 in Trump's first term, again, according to Johns Hopkins.

With no Qanon active and most of the nuts elected with Trump (Boebert) no longer being followed by press or social media, how is this version Illusory Truth from RFK reaching anyone? (the list of the MAGA phenomena is in my blog for 1-3)

Agreed he's gone far beyond "useless." We have to stop characterizing people like this as just neutrally clueless or ignorant. He's anti-use, anti-truth, anti-reality. He doesn't just fail to recognize harm, he does it.

Problem is they usually have no idea of a workable replacment for the system. Disruption becomes a end in itself.
And Populism comes in two flavors of course, and now we are seeing it rise on the left.
