The Truth about RFK Jr

About HICPAC's disbanding, the association for professionals in infection control and epidemiology wrote, "The decision to terminate HICPAC creates a preventable gap in national preparedness and response capacity, leaving healthcare facilities without timely, evidence-based and expert-driven recommendations at a time when threats from emerging pathogens and antimicrobial resistance are on the rise. The committee’s interdisciplinary composition—drawing on expertise in epidemiology, infectious disease, infection prevention, hospital administration, occupational health, and patient advocacy —ensures that its guidance is scientifically rigorous and operationally practical. Disbanding HICPAC jeopardizes decades of progress in preventing healthcare-associated infections."

They wouldn't. They have no interest in that. The idea was focused protection, i.e. that people of working age and younger should get infected SARS-CoV-2 as soon as possible, which would then make them immune to ever getting it again. In the meantime, the elderly, who were the only really vulnerable people, were to be protected. They never really got into how that was to be accomplished. In Sweden, it also never happened. Tegnell was only concerned with getting everybody infected. As state epidemiologist, he never thought that it was his job to think of ways to protect the elderly. He was busy making sure that schools stayed open, which would contribute to getting everybody infected fast, and people didn't wear face masks - probably for the same reason, but his argument was that wearing masks were dangerous!

The whole thing made it obvious that the main point of this strategy was to eliminate all concerns that might impact 'business (!) as usual' and make people stay away from nightclubs, bars, restaurants, movie theaters etc.

Remember that one of the main financial backers of this strategy is Jeffrey Tucker (Wikipedia):


Jeffrey Tucker also supports these public health initiatives:

The great barrington declaration wasn't entirely mad at the time it was made. The problem was that little was known about Covid-19, and some of the assumptions made to justify the GBD were wrong, but none of the signees seem to have accepted that their assumptions turned out to be wrong and this made their conclusions which led to the GBD false.

In particulat they assumed that covid-19 was something you got once, and that once sufficient people had it, and became immmune it would die away. Instaed we find that it continues to circulate because her immunity doesn't occur. Second they assumed that the only consequence of covid for low risk people was a mild illness or a low risk of death, but we now know that even in children there was a high rate of prolonged illness (long covid). Some children developed multi-system inflammatory syndrome following covid and became very unwell.Finally we cannot assume a pandemic will effect the old and not the young, that wasn't true of the 1917 flu pandemic, it wasn't true of HIV, it wasn't true for TB.

What is striking is that many of those who would criticise the school lockdowns for the harm done to children, will support home scholling.
 
It's really weird that Kennedy can just disband associations that make healthcare work. Maybe it's because most people haven't heard of them and don't know what the machinery of such preparedness consists of.

By analogy, if Hegseth arbitrarily scrapped the B52 fleet because he wanted to stop chemtrails, there would be an immediate outcry at such craziness, but perhaps only because people know what those are.

Would there be an outcry ?

Didn't some state legislature recently pass a bill banning chemtrails ? Would this just be viewed as a bold first step to enact such a bill ?

Jeremy Faust wrote, "The CDC’s newly installed panel of voting members for its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will vote on “Thimerosal containing influenza vaccine recommendations.” The eight-member panel (hand-picked by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after he sacked the seventeen incumbent experts with minimal explanation) includes individuals who have been paid experts in lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers and spread lies about vaccine safety. The agenda item was posted on the CDC’s website this morning...To be clear, removing the compound will do nothing to improve vaccine safety, but it certainly will undermine confidence in other existing vaccines. While there are many alternatives for influenza vaccines that do not contain thimerosal, elevating this debunked myth to national policy lends credence to misinformation, and sets the stage for other actions that may undermine vaccine confidence in the United States." Among other things, it is unclear how newly appointed members can come up to speed on this and other questions.

CNBC wrote, "Thimerosal has been widely used for decades as a preservative to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in several medicines and vaccines with multiple doses. But its use in approved vaccines has dropped sharply as manufacturers have shifted to single-dose packaging for their shots, which don’t require preservatives."

The AP reported, "Missing from the agenda are some heavily researched vaccine policy proposals the advisers were supposed to consider this month, including shots against HPV and meningococcal bacteria, said Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Instead, the committee is talking about subjects “which are settled science,” she said. “Every American should be asking themselves how and why did we get here, where leaders are promoting their own agenda instead of protecting our people and our communities,” she said. She worried it’s “part of a purposeful agenda to insert dangerous and harmful and unnecessary fear regarding vaccines into the process.”

Even at the time it was nonsense, simply because it was being brought out by anti-science billionaires who were worried the lockdowns would eat into their unearned profits. It was advocating for "natural" herd immunity something I pointed out at the time took at least seventeen goes with the less easily spread bubonic plague.

Anybody who knew anything about epidemics was saying the gbd was ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ as soon as they read it.

A key point is that the people who wrote it never indicated that they had changed their minds. Now two of them have been appointed by RFK Jr to positions in the government. A third assumption in the GBD was that there could be focused protection, but how this was supposed to be accomplished was never spelled out. Jonathan Howard has written on this topic. IIUC he pointed out that the Delta wave hit children harder than the initial wave did, which weakened one of the assumptions.

From the AP article, "The recommendations [from the APIC] traditionally go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director. Historically, nearly all are accepted and then used by insurance companies in deciding what vaccines to cover. But the CDC has no director and the committee’s recommendations have been going to Kennedy." IIUC there is also no acting director.

At Beyond the Noise Dr. Paul Offit wrote, "Makary and Prasad are now arguing that requiring placebo-controlled studies for yearly Covid vaccines will restore lost trust. In truth, that information is already available...The small studies of healthy 50-64-year-olds proposed by Makary and Prasad will likely add little to nothing to what we already know about yearly Covid vaccines. Further, these studies are unethical. SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate, causing thousands of hospitalizations and deaths every year. And, although healthy 50-64-year-olds are at low risk of hospitalization and death from Covid, they aren’t at no risk. How will Makary and Prasad respond if a few people in the placebo group suffered a serious or fatal Covid illness?" Dr. Offit, continued, "Further, Vinay Prasad has said that Peter Marks, his predecessor at CBER, was “either incompetent or corrupt.”...It’s a dangerous time to be a child in America."

Of all the evidence that the US has lost its collective mind, this is the most damning. That some states would even consider and debate a bill to ban something that doesn’t exist leads me to believe that the spiral the US is currently in will not abate.
 
At MedPageToday MD Robert T. Schooley wrote, "The committee charge is to provide technical advice based on scientific evidence; it was not designed to turn over to reflect the political views of each incoming administration. Each administration can choose whether to follow the advice of the committee, but stacking it to provide the advice that the administration wishes to receive defeats the purpose of having the committee in the first place. Hundreds of hours are invested by ACIP members in preparing for the formal open meetings."

He continued, "In his WSJ announcement, he also writes that ACIP had never recommended against a vaccine and that it "failed to scrutinize vaccine products given to babies and pregnant women." Neither of these statements is true. In subsequent communications, he promised to be "tweeting" about "historical corruption at ACIP." Is "trial by tweet" the new norm for how people who volunteer to provide their expertise to our government should be treated?"

According to Dr. Schooley having terms of members staggered increases efficiency, presumably because new members can be brought up to speed regarding standard operating procedures.

Reuters reported on the cancellation of the bird flu vaccine. They wrote, "A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services at the time said the contract was canceled after a comprehensive internal review determined the project did not meet the scientific standards or safety expectations required for continued federal investment. Warren and Duckworth demanded Kennedy make the review public, alongside a similar review the department cited when it cut funding of a $258-million program researching an HIV vaccine. They also asked for a detailed description of how the department decided to end the contracts, and a staff briefing. "You have failed to justify either of these moves to cripple vaccine research," [Senators] Warren and Duckworth wrote. "Furthermore, these decisions appear to be part of your larger, unfounded vendetta against mRNA technology.""
