  1. Sure you fucking haven’t moron you’ve just been „asking questions“ thats what the conspiracy theorists say

  2. AwkwardTraffic on

    He does this every time his stupid actions kill kids. Claims he never told people to not vaccinate their kids (which he explicitly did say) and moves on while still denying vaccines work. He’s done it multiple times already

    What happens when you hire unqualified pants on head crazy folks to lead health departments.

    Top public health official, not responsible for the public’s health.

    This would be disgusting EVEN IF he wasn’t spreading anti-vax lies for decades.

  5. I thought, he drinks raw milk, eats horse wormer, surely it’s just a matter time. I think he’s a secret generation of Disney animatronics…

    He’s testifying falsely before Congress. Is anybody there? Does anybody care? Does anybody see what I see?

    Sounds like Brain Worm Bobbie is having another mental breakdown. He is the most anti-vaxxers in the country.

    Bullshit!

    In 2019, there was a measles outbreak in Samoa that led to the deaths of 83 people, mostly children. RFK jr visited the island a few months prior to the outbreak, and at the time, he led the Children’s Health Defense organization.

    His anti-vax non profit helped spread misinformation pertaining to vaccines that contributed to a decline in measles vaccinations. During his trip to Samoa, he publicly supported prominent anti-vax voices there and by exploiting the power of his last name, lent legitimacy to those voices who were very effective at stoking vaccine hesitancy.

    Now, prior to 2019, measles wasn’t a problem in Samoa, however, in 2018, two infants died after receiving the measles vaccine. The country temporarily placed its vaccination program on hold, and Kennedy’s Children’s Health Defense took advantage of the tragedy to raise questions about the safety of the measles vaccine. Consequently the vaccination rate plummeted.

    As it turns out however, the deaths of the infants had nothing to do with the measles vaccine, and everything to do with tragic human error. Nurses administering the vaccine accidentally mixed it with a muscle relaxant, which is what killed the infants.

    Kennedy and his non profit did not walk back their statements afterwards, particularly as vaccination rates were dropping rapidly in the region.

    When he visited the island in 2019 before the outbreak, he promoted anti-vaxxers and anti-vax rhetoric. He especially lent credibility to voices there that were still using the deaths of the infants to push a narrative.

    > He had a meeting with Taylor Winterstein, a prominent Samoan Australian vaccination foe. In an Instagram post featuring a photo of her with Kennedy, Winterstein wrote, “I am deeply honoured to have been in the presence of a man I believe is, can and will change the course of history. This was a divinely timed, once in a lifetime opportunity and I will forever cherish the conversations and moments we shared together in Samoa.” She added hashtags used by anti-vaxxers. Public health experts complained Kennedy’s visit to Samoa helped amplifly anti-vax voices.

    Kennedy claimed that his meeting with Winterstein was just a coincidence, not „divinely timed.“ He eventually admitted however, that his trip to Samoa had been arranged with a popular anti-vaxxer, Edwin Tamasese. The trip was paid for by the CHD.

    > The point of the trip, he insisted, was to discuss with government officials “the introduction of a medical informatics system that would allow Samoa’s health officials to assess, in real time, the efficacy and safety of every medical intervention or drug on overall health.” This would include questioning the value of vaccinations.

    After the measles outbreak in 2019, the government quickly implemented an emergency vaccination program that was compulsory for the population. Kennedy’s anti-vax connections on the island vehemently opposed this measure. The operation was compared to Nazi Germany.

    > Tamasese called it a “killing spree.” He declared the vaccination operation “the greatest crime against our people” and suggested the vaccine itself was the cause of the outbreak. Tamasese advocated against the use of conventional medicine and antibiotics and urged people to rely on papaya leaf extract and vitamins instead of the vaccine and antibiotics.

    During this time, Kennedy wrote to the prime Minister, *and he encouraged Samoa officials to examine the measles vaccine to ‚determine, scientifically, if the outbreak was caused by inadequate vaccine coverage or alternatively, by a defective vaccine.’*

    Kennedy and these anti-vax voices were pushing the idea that the vaccine itself was responsible for the deaths during the outbreak.

    The Samoan government declared a state of emergency, and pushed back against these anti-vaxxers.

    > Soon after that, Kennedy wrote a blog post for the CHD site that called Tamasese a “medical freedom hero.” He referred to the 2019 blast of measles in Samoa as merely a “mild measles outbreak” and praised Tamasese for having “infuriated the Global Medical Cartel.” He suggested that the vaccine, along with lousy hospital protocols, had caused the deaths.

    And this is just the tip of the iceberg. To this day, he continues to deny his involvement and his responsibility in the Samoa tragedy.

    Also note that, at its height, over 1,300 cases of measles were reported in the US as part of a record outbreak that spread to 40 states, with a large chunk of the cases in Texas. 90+ percent of all cases were either unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status.

    It’s no coincidence that this outbreak followed Kennedy’s appointment as HHS secretary.

    **Vaccine „Skepticism“ As Federal Policy:**

    The current administration, and RFK Jr in particular, has been singlehandedly responsible for sowing distrust in medical science and experts—especially during disease outbreaks.

    For instance, nearly the entire medical community disputes RFK Jr’s claim that mRNA vaccines have risks that outweigh benefits. Beyond that, rigorous studies and reliable data show that they are indeed effective and save lives, even when viruses mutate

    Kennedy’s decision to end funding for mRNA technology and research is being done at the cost of scientific progress and lives.

    mRNA technology was being explored to treat multiple cancers, malaria, HIV, even infections passed from mother to infant.

    This administration has chosen to politicize science at the expense of public health, scientific innovation, pandemic preparedness, and basic trust in medicine and the scientific community.

    Future generations of Americans will also lose access to advanced, life saving treatments.

    **Science Has Become Politicized By The Right:**

    Overwhelming scientific consensus, the latest research and data, and conclusions drawn from peer reviewed, scientific journals are challenged by conspiracy theorists and their „alternative facts.“ Valid concerns and policies that address things like climate change and pandemic preparedness are blasted as radical left inventions.

    MAGA denies legitimate science and insists that their ass-backwards and misanthropic views about medicine, biology, vaccines, diseases, etc, are more informed than the leading and relevant scientific research.

    As head of HHS, Kennedy is largely responsible for undermining trust in the medical community and endangering public health due to his unscientific claims.

    His loyalty and connection to Trump has also made him near invulnerable to scrutiny from Republicans. He is helping to carry out the Trump administration’s agenda by defunding and eroding the independence of public health related agencies; stripping qualified civil servants of their protections and replacing them with incompetent loyalists who are committed to reversing decades of scientific progress.

    He’s also been responsible for defunding scientific and medical research while dismantling agencies and organizations that play a crucial role in maintaining public health and safety.

    Not to mention his layoffs of thousands of staff working in agencies like the CDC, FDA, NIH, and CMS—top scientists and healthcare workers who are being replaced with so-called „MAHA“ crackpots.

    This administration is incompetent from top to bottom. When it comes to who we should or should not „trust,“ the current health secretary and government are at the top of the list.

    He’s the anti-vax posterchild. It’s his brand. Now that there are meaningful metrics to assess his performance at HHS, he’s not taking the credit he deserves. You gott’a own it, Bobby.

  11. None of the parasite class is capable of taking responsibility for their bs. Another reason to eliminate the obscenely wealthy (through taxation).

  12. Oh no you don’t motherfucker. You had your anti vax stance. Stick with it now.
