Nothingburgers are excellent troll bait.

“”Go to www.mercola.com for starters. I’ve seen many Freepers’ posts that provide documentation.””

Oh! Oh! Now you’ve done it! This is where the crazies come out - the minute you bring up Dr. Mercola. I said I’d stay out of this as people aren’t rational on this subject and it’s where I got lambasted on this same topic a few years back - by mentioning Dr. Mercola....I have since tried to forget all the names I was called!!

Kenndy may be left but the vaccine issue is not a left/right issue... if anything it’s seen as a right issue. So if any thing Kennedy on this one issue would be aligned with the right more then the left

It’s like the old fluoride in the water Bugaboo.... people that were against fluoride in the water for years were see as right-wing nuts.... but now fluoride in the water is no longer a right-wing issue if anything the left has adopted it... Michael Moore of all people is a big anti fluoride in the water person

So anyway this is brilliant ...you take an issue like the vaccine issue.... that the left tried to paint as a right-wing anti science nut issue...

And you pick the one Bonafide left-wing person to run it so no matter what the commission comes up with the left cannot painted as a right-wing anti-science group

Again the fear of vaccines as a big source of other medical problems is not a left/right issue if anything though it tends to be construed as a anti-science right issue so you pick the one big lefty that on your side

Remember guys Wikileaks was seen as the big hard left-wing hero for the longest time... get used to some strange political bedfellows

I see your reasoning, and I agree. as long as we allow for folks like my family who don’t trust vaccines to opt out, great! What scares many conservatives like me is that many so-called conservatives will throw all beliefs in freedom and conscience out the door when a plague breaks out. Fear overrides everything else...even though they have gotten the vaccinations!?! This may be the issue which causes the GOP to concede to totalitarianism

Autism was not heard of until recently, and recently Vaccine Companies started using ABORTED BABY STEM CELLS in their vaccines......unless everything I have read is a LIE!

There are 2 strains of human cells that are used in vaccines - both from abortions - one was in the early 40s and the other was in 1965. Rubella vaccine has always been made from those cells, as has chicken pox and lately things like rabies (for humans). So, yes it is true, but, no, not recent. Descendants of those same original cells.

I do think that children get too many vaccines today - chicken pox never was anything other than a nuisance disease, but the MMR, polio, DPT have all been a good thing. Those diseases were killers, literally.

No, good pick. Kennedy has seen the light and doesn’t believe the media or CDC lies any more. And I bet it was hard for him as a lib. All the libs I know “believe” in vaccines being infallible even to infants and even in bulk.

It seems mainly symbolic. This is a maverick lefty on the topic in question.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a joke. No one takes him seriously from either party. he’s way too small to be considered an enemy

There is nothing to defend. This is a nothing job.

Besides, most of us real FReepers are too busy to give a hoot about this and are still celebrating that the patriots of this country have elected a guy who is likely going to be the best president this country has ever had.

Oh, and thank God we didn’t elect Cruz.

We patriots saved this country.

Hmmmm....interesting. Trump seems to be putting into place people in charge of agencies/commissions who are most critical of the agencies. If you want to effect real change in an organization (including getting rid of it) then the best person is the person who is most critical.

I’m not sure if that logic applies here but it is consistent.

Guys like Robert Kennedy Jr. are killing kids by encouraging mindless paranoia about vaccinations. He doesn’t belong anywhere near any panel or any other body that will lend his quackery legitimacy.

I think it will expose some things about vaccines that need to be seen. Kennedy is a clown and if things are exposed that need to be exposed, so be it.

I don’t have an issue with this either. It’s about time someone started speaking out.


Exactly!

Probably a good choice. Kills two birds with one stone.
