SACRAMENTO (CBS SF) – As lawmakers at the State Capitol consider a bill that would no longer allow parents to opt out of vaccinating their children over personal beliefs, vaccination critic Robert Kennedy Jr. waded into the debate at a Sacramento appearance.
Kennedy spoke to a crowd Tuesday screening a film that claims a link between autism in children and thimerosal, an ingredient in vaccines, according to the Sacramento Bee.
“They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone,” Kennedy reportedly told the crowd. “This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country.”

My understanding is that Congress gave immunity to big pharma because they cannot reasonably guarantee the safety of any vaccine.
The Supreme Court ruled that the production of vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe”.
Not sure of the exact time but both in the recent past.
And these are the same people who claim women have a right to their bodies when it comes to abortions. But with vaccinations, you have no rights to your body apparently.
Leave it to a Kennedy to speak in reasonable, measured terms.
BTW, If he wants to see a holocaust, he should see what America's children dealt with when there were no vaccines.
He’s exactly right. Getting your vaccinations to attend public school is -exactly- like deporting Jews to death camps and sending them to the gas chamber.
That’s so weird how I never made that association. You know, elites like the Kennedys really -are- our betters, aren’t they?/
Wanna know unsafe? Unsafe is polio, whooping cough, diphtheria, etc etc,,,,
Every vaccine is far safer than the disease. This is a parlor game for moms who walk around talking about autism, irritable bowel syndrome, ADD, alar apples, fibromyalgia,, and other insane white female “diseases”.
Bottom line are you saying the government should force vaccinate?....
I view that independent of if you should vaccinate...
Kennedys - Can’t Drive...Can’t Fly....Can’t Ski..Can’t skipper a boat....But they know what’s best for us.
Well, this is a dad that’s talking about the government respecting my right as a parent to decide what and what not I subject MY children to.
Guess you missed the 1950s... Vaccines are good. All this vaccine drama is for chicks.
That’s not me talking, that’s Congress and the Supremes. You might want to direct your angst toward those who failed to curb the unvaccinated illegals from gaining a foothold in this country in the first place. And don’t forget the potential for an ebola epidemic.
You seem to be implying that I condone those who don’t vaccinate. I said nothing of the kind; just putting the facts out there, the way our elected officials and highest court in the land sees it.
You’re not suggesting that relevant information be withheld from the public, are you?
Dr. Salk. should be on Mount Rushmore IMHO.
The link between thimerosal and autism in children has been debunked and those who perpetuate that myth are charlatans working to exploit people who have no scientific understanding. If it’s a Kennedy, it has to be B.S.
For a look into the latest, of many studies into thimerosal and autism, go here:

In the meantime, get you kids vaccinated. Louis Pasteur would approve.
I just don’t believe in this “vaccine is deadly” conspiracy BS. Its the new helicopter mom drama. Right up there with ADD, autism, chemtrails, 911 truthing, human caused climate change, etc etc...
And not even the most cursory look at it shows a vaccine that is more dangerous to an individual than the disease itself. Silliness,,,,,
It’s such a clever analogy that it masks any conceivable insight into the mind that would make such an apparently random comparison. Very clever. It’s like the rabbit and the pancake.
All caught up in that global warming thingy, too.
What do you think, too many drugs, or not enough?
“You might want to direct your angst toward those who failed to curb the unvaccinated illegals from gaining a foothold in this country”
Congratulations,,, you just argued that we are endangered from unvaccinated people. Therefore, I have won, vaccinate your kids.
Vaccines are fine. And the hysteria against them is exactly like the other movements I referenced. And most of them skip along hand in hand with the anti vaccine movement. Its part of the loony white woman and beta male orthodoxy.
Does he NOT know what measles can do to your brain?
Is he unaware of how many kids died from completely preventable diseases before vaccines?
Your uncle Teddy's life was definitely a tragedy. I think he had more than one shot though.
Not that it’s any of your business, but my kids are all fully vaccinated, as am I.
There’s nothing to ‘argue’ about, not with me at least. I simply stated the facts. Go to your Congressperson and/or Senator with your objection to what they themselves stated. Go contact Justice Roberts about your disagreement with their own ruling.
Your making assumptions about others that are not based in reality - or fact. You either need to read more carefully or think more critically...or both.
