Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Lead Vaccine Safety Rally

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will deliver the keynote address March 31 at the Revolution for Truth rally in Washington, D.C., organized by the Vaccination Injury Awareness League to call for more transparency in the research and government approval process of an ever-expanding schedule of vaccines.

Kennedy has said that he is “pro-vaccine,” but he believes more research should be done to investigate potential health risks and is critical of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s handling of the issue.

“CDC recommended five pediatric vaccines when I was a boy in 1954,” says Kennedy, son of the late U.S. Senator and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. “Today’s children generally cannot ­­attend school without at least 56 doses of 14 vaccines by the time they’re 18.”

“People who have legitimate concerns about vaccine safety have been ridiculed, marginalized and vilified,” Kennedy tells Newsmax Health. “But there is overwhelming consensus within the scientific research community that raise legitimate safety concerns about the current vaccination schedule.”

Kennedy blames the pharmaceutical industry, U.S. government, and media of colluding in the push to inoculate more and more people with an increasing variety of vaccines.

“The media will not elaborate on this issue,” says Kennedy, founder of the environmental group World Mercury Project. “Part of it is the money that they are making from the industry through advertising, $5.4 billion annually. But most reporters and editors are more concerned that raising any questions about vaccine safety will reduce vaccination coverage, and they believe that will endanger the public health.”

He accuses the media of failing their role as watchdog of American society by refusing to challenge pronouncements of vaccine safety by the CDC, pharmaceutical companies, and others, many of which he claims reference flawed studies.

After having chicken pox, the virus lays dormant in the nerve roots until it is reactivated at a later age. So more people getting chicken pox as kids would lead to fewer cases of shingles later in life because there would be more people with the virus lying dormant in their nerves waiting to be reactivated? Anti-Vaxxer logic is a wonder.

I am going to explain this one more time. However, I am only responding to advance the conversation for anyone else on this thread that might be interested.
I am done speaking to you. You don’t seem to have enough intellect to add anything to this discussion other than calling people stupid or idiot.

Even if they have the vaccine, they still have the virus laying dormant. Chickenpox vaccines contain a weakened version of the live virus, which can reactivate later in life and cause shingles.

Every time you come into contact with someone infected with chickenpox, you get a natural “booster shot” that protects you from shingles.

In other words, shingles can be prevented by ordinary contact from children or grandchildren that have chickenpox. However, because of the chickenpox vaccine, there are fewer kids around with chicken pox to provide that natural immune boost.

So as chickenpox rates have declined, shingles rates have skyrocketed.

Uh, huh. The anti-Vax folks are forced to ignore the science because it doesn't support their fixed mentality. Scientifically illiterate, Luddite and stupid. You've hit the trifecta.

...children who receive a chickenpox vaccination have a much lower risk of getting shingles later in life than those who are not immunized, said Dr. William Schaffner, doctor of preventative medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, and a leading infectious disease expert.

Although chickenpox vaccines do contain a weakened version of the live virus, which can reactivate later in life and cause shingles, this is very rare, he said. "Nearly 99 percent of children who receive the vaccine will not get chickenpox at all," Schaffner told Live Science. "The remaining 1 percent who do get it will get a much milder version of it. Therefore,a vast majority of people receiving the immunization will not develop shingles later in life."

Can the chicken pox vaccine cause shingles later in life (or are people who makes such claims as stupid as they sound?)

Big Pharma, the FDA and the CDC probably bought this guy off. Hell, they faked the moon landing, after all, so this could all be fake news designed to make money for the drug industry at the expense of our kids. Just think of the money they'll make providing a shingles vaccine for all the people they deceived into getting the chicken pox vaccine.

The fact that you people are out there denying the proven benefits of vaccination, thereby putting huge numbers of the most vulnerable among us at risk, is astounding.
