Trump Taps Vaccine-Skeptic RFK Jr. to Lead Safety Commission
New York Post ^ | January 10, 2017 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 01/10/2017 3:31:02 PM PST by nickcarraway

Donald Trump has selected Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to chair a vaccine safety and scientific integrity commission, the vaccine skeptic told reporters at Trump Tower after a meeting with the president-elect.

Kennedy Jr. told reporters that he accepted Trump’s offer, but did not provide further details on the commission.

The selection is sure to draw criticism as Kennedy Jr. has likened vaccines to the “holocaust.”

Not gonna say I approve of him appointed this fruit-loop to anything. We’ll have to wait and see if it grows into a problem.

I can’t see anything good coming from it. Trump is bound to make some mistakes along the way.

This may or may not turn into a problem. We’ll see.

RFK jr. will not be able to set policy here, just report back to the Boss.

Which boss? Trump or Morgan & Morgan ambulance chasers?

“autism”

The cause is uncertain.

However, high-charging people are marrying high-charging people far more often. Maybe the babies are just over-the-top in being high-strung - sort of like thoroughbred horses.

More affluent people are now marrying and producing children when they are much older - in their late 30’s as opposed to early 20’s.

My kids are 19 and 23. It seemed like a lot of shots back in the day. Can’t remember exactly how many.

BUT IF I had to do it over again, I don’t care IF I had to pay more money in co-pays and injection fees . . . I would take them more frequently to the pediatrician to break up those 3-4 immunization that are jumbled up into ONE big injection.

Just to be on the safe side. Might not make any difference in the world. But I certainly don’t think it would hurt to break them up and spread them out a little more.

I’d err on the side of caution.

The chicken pox was brand new when daughter was maybe 18 months or 2. I didn’t jump on that right away. Got it when her brother who is 3 1/2 years younger was right age for it. Eventually they still both got a very light case. I think that was about the time they were calling for a booster to the chicken pox vaccine.

This is SANITY at its finest. Do the research. . . .Go to www.mercola.com for starters. I’ve seen many Freepers’ posts that provide documentation.

This is his first move that really makes me think...WTF.

Letting any Kennedy into your administration is like having a pit viper in the bed with you at night.

The TRUMP transition is not forming a commission at this time.

PS I haven’t had but one flu shot in my life that I can remember and there have been acquaintances that have died from them. Very sad.

Well lets see Freepers defend THIS move.


As well they should.

I love this guy for going against the mainstream to question very primitive “science.”

“RFK Jr. is about as radical left as it gets. What is Mr. Trump thinking?”

He’s probably thinking that it’s best to let a Kennedy crow like a loon over the supposed dangers of vaccines vs. a conservative.

I don’t think vaccines are causing widespread problems. I don’t think they’re causing autism. I think anything related to the rise in autism corresponds to a broader use of the term ... a growth of the autistic spectrum (and government benefits) if you will.

I’m sure there are isolated cases where a vaccine may have harmed someone given that all people are different, but, by and large, vaccines have eradicated some diseases that used to be a threat to the general public.

Now, I won’t say the above with 100% confidence since I do not work with vaccines directly, but I can’t subscribe to any conspiracy theories given the vast number of doctors that monitor vaccines. You’d have to shut up a substantial number of people to pull off widespread poisoning of children.

Now, the tin foil part of me *does* buy the fact that there are *lots* of people out there that think the Earth would be better off with only 500K people AND wouldn’t shed a tear at the thought of 6.5 billion human beings being wiped off the face of the Earth. Those people sicken me and *could* cause problems in large numbers. However, I doubt there are enough of that breed of scummy filth in positions that could make such a scenario a remote possibility.

This one goes in the “Negative” column."

Must disagree.

1) It's a one-time temporary Commission, for pity's sake, not a full time Federal job.

2) The libtard can't do any harm to America in this temp job.

3) RFK Jr brings with him instant massive name recognition, making it harder for the MSM to ignore.

4) Trump can and will point to this as evidence that he is reaching out to the losing side in order to unite America.

Extremely astute political move, IMHO.

This one goes in the “Positive” column.

I read on another site that Kennedy walked back that holocaust comment.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-meets-with-vaccine-skeptic-robert-kennedy-jr/

The article also says Trump has had employees with children who got a shot and then got sick with a fever and then became autistic.

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

Unfortunately the many of the so called “vaccines” are tied into the Eugenics movement and population control by the Globalist.

This is the one and only issue I find myself in agreement with RFK jr.

I see it as a great move by POETUS.

Just research it and you will find that vaccines today are NOT what is being sold. It’s very disturbing and a very controversial issue.

Thank you!

Many Freepers are not aware of this. It’s a great move by our PEOTUS.
