Evidence?But anti-vaxx for him is all about getting money from gullible people he propagandizes for and lawsuits. I really hope someone sues the pants off him one day.

Evidence?
In 2021,
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earned more than $500,000 as the chairman and top lawyer at Children’s Health Defense, the nonprofit organization that he has helped build into a leading spreader of anti-vaccine falsehoods and a platform for launching his independent bid for the White House.
The compensation was almost three times as high as the amount paid to the organization’s president, but it was not Mr. Kennedy’s biggest source of income. Neither was his family’s fabled wealth. Instead,
most of his earnings around the same time came from law firms — a total of $7 million for lending them his name, connections and expertise to sue major companies.
It'd be hard for lil' Mikey G to tell us what vaccines wormbrain supports as he himself refuses to disclose what vaccines he supports, despite being directly asked multiple times.How disappointing, Mike Griffith has still not backed up his claim that RFK is not an anti-vaxxer by pointing out which vaccines RFK supports.
I’m almost worried that people might think Mike Griffith is mindlessly parroting RFK’s own talking points without having the intellectual honesty to examine the talking point himself or just thinks that there is anyone in the world dumb enough to believe RFK other than gullible morons.
Surely that can’t be it, right?
Depends how much you will pay him to tell you what you want to hear.It'd be hard for lil' Mikey G to tell us what vaccines wormbrain supports as he himself refuses to disclose what vaccines he supports, despite being directly asked multiple times.
"Embarass Trump"... that's a novel concept. We're thinking about the same guy, right? The one with the crazy hair, who does the weird dance to the YMCA in front of thousands of people, who started babbling weird nonsense about getting UV light into people to kill Covid, and who wrote long public love letters to Kim Jong-un, and hung out with Roger Stone and even pardoned him for his crimes, and went on Alex Jones's show, etc... He's going to be embarassed at some point in the future by open anti-vaxxer, HIV-AIDS denialist, anti-GMO weirdo Robert Kennedy Jr? I mean, I'm sure it COULD happen, but I'm struggling to come up with a likely scenario.IMHO if he is confirmed, RFK won't last long. Hr will implode, embarass Trump, and out he goes.
Maybe makes Trump look bad would be better term."Embarass Trump"... that's a novel concept. We're thinking about the same guy, right?

Finally, you should be aware that RFK Jr. has gotten all the standard vaccines except the COVID vaccine, and that his children have done so as well. He is not against vaccines per se; his main point is that vaccines should have to undergo the same safety trials that prescription drugs have to undergo.
Evidence?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to lead the nation’s health agencies, formally asked the Food and Drug Administration to revoke the authorization of all Covid vaccines during a deadly phase of the pandemic when thousands of Americans were still dying every week...[Kennedy] claimed that the risks of the vaccines outweighed the benefits and that the vaccines weren’t necessary because good treatments were available, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, which had already been deemed ineffective against the virus.

You think anyone who supports Trump....TRUMP...cares about credentials or expertise?I wonder what "credentials" RFK believes he has that gives him expertise on the subject.
Yes, in fact, I do. Trump supporters seem to believe that having credentials makes a person part of the evil Elite.You think anyone who supports Trump....TRUMP...cares about credentials or expertise?
Point made and taken!Yes, in fact, I do. Trump supporters seem to believe that having credentials makes a person part of the evil Elite.
A worm in his brain.I wonder what "credentials" RFK believes he has that gives him expertise on the subject.
Or, more formally, having credentials makes a person a member of the Stinking Old Ninth.Yes, in fact, I do. Trump supporters seem to believe that having credentials makes a person part of the evil Elite.
Like Elon Musk, he's a Galaxy Brain who automatically knows everything about everything.I wonder what "credentials" RFK believes he has that gives him expertise on the subject.
Those questions only matter if you're concerned about having a competent individual in charge - the GOP seem to be more interested in "sticking it to the liberals" and actively don't want a working department:Paul Offit has a list of questions for uber-quack RFK that the Senate should ask him in his confirmation hearing.

Somehow I think even he would not answer the questions like that. But if he did then all the better. Get that out there in the public domain where people can see it.Those questions only matter if you're concerned about having a competent individual in charge - the GOP seem to be more interested in "sticking it to the liberals" and actively don't want a working department:
1. Does HIV cause AIDS
Doesn't matter, AIDS only affects homosexuals and drug addicts so who cares
2. Do you agree with Germ Theory
Like evolution, it's only a theory so why not embrace the controversy
I did not realize that he did not believe in germ theory. This explains why he wanted to pause research on infectious disease. Fungal infections kill more than a million people worldwide every year, according to an article I read in Lancet. Mycobacterium tuberculosis kills a comparable number.Paul Offit has a list of questions for uber-quack RFK that the Senate should ask him in his confirmation hearing.

MAGA and RFK want to vastly improve on that number. They want to make it TWO million! Starting with the USA, of course.I did not realize that he did not believe in germ theory.

The risk is high that Mr. Kennedy will use his power and pulpit at HHS to enrich his trial-lawyer friends at the expense of public health and medical innovation. It’s telling that Mr. Kennedy hasn’t agreed to stop taking payments from these allies in the Gardasil lawsuit. Senators would be wise to believe RFK Jr.’s career of spreading falsehoods rather than his confirmation conversions.
Indeed, it's almost as if there may be some people out there who understand that this is about more than "owning" the other team in the playoffs.Nice to see the WSJ take the bold stance of being opposed to people dying.
I get the temptation to sarcasm, but one would think pushback like this from normally pro-Trump sources should be applauded, especially since Kennedy really needs to be stopped.Nice to see the WSJ take the bold stance of being opposed to people dying.
Thanks for that.The Wall Street Journal's editorial page, which has been reliably pro-Trump, comes out against Junior's nomination:
Most troubling is his long record of anti-vaccine advocacy. In the past he has claimed that the measles vaccine causes autism despite reams of studies that have found no causative link, and that the polio vaccine might have killed many more than the actual virus. Deadly infectious diseases disappeared because of better hygiene, not vaccines, he asserts.
Mr. Kennedy’s nomination disclosures show he’s received millions of dollars from referring clients to Wisner Baum and Morgan & Morgan, law firms that have sued vaccine and drug makers. Wisner Baum spearheaded litigation against Merck over its Gardasil vaccine, which protects against the human papillomavirus—one of the biggest risk factors for cervical cancer.
[A]s HHS Secretary, Mr. Kennedy could take action to assist his trial-lawyer pals.

Overseeing the FDA, the NIH, the CDC, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services - agencies that are charged with protecting the most vulnerable among us - is an enormous responsibility, and one that Bobby is unqualified to fill. He lacks any relevant government, financial, management, or medical experience. His views on vaccines are dangerous and willfully misinformed. These facts alone should be disqualifying. But he has personal qualities related to this position which, for me, pose even greater concern.
Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children - vaccinating his own children while building a following by hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs. Copy of Caroline Kennedy's letter provided by New York Times
Caroline Kennedy sent a letter to four US Senators today imploring them NOT to vote for RFK, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services,
We are living in the most bizarre period ever in American life. What happened?![]()
