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.

Me either.

No one is forcing/mandating you to vaccinate your kids. There are exemption loopholes for every idiot and Luddite out there if they are truly committed to risking the lives and health of their kids. Child abuse comes in many forms.

[knittnmom]

If that obesity vaccination works retroactively, I’d sign up for that one! :-)

“Nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles before there was a vaccine, and hundreds died from it each year. Today, most doctors have never seen a case of measles.
More than 15,000 Americans died from diphtheria in 1921, before there was a vaccine. Only two cases of diphtheria have been reported to CDC between 2004 and 2014.
An epidemic of rubella (German measles) in 1964-65 infected 12½ million Americans, killed 2,000 babies, and caused 11,000 miscarriages. Since 2012, 15 cases of rubella were reported to CDC.”

Since these diseases have been eradicated they are not the risk they once were. Now the risk is greater for Autism and other serious adverse reactions to the shots themselves. So any thinking person should say hmmmm why are our children soooo sick now? Is the “disease” of autism worse than say Diptheria, Tetanus and pertussis?

[azkathy]

That depends on what state you live in at the present time. Many states have laws that require a child to have their shots in order to go to school, daycare, etc.

Why should we worry about that? After all won’t you be happy to get in line for your mandatory, updated CDC schedule for adults? sarcasm intended

[trisham]

These diseases have not been “eradicated”.

Eradicated
So far, two diseases have been successfully eradicated—one specifically affecting humans (smallpox), and one affecting a wide range of ruminants (rinderpest).

“Child abuse comes in many forms.” As does ignorance and idiocy...

[zzwhale]

eactly WTF does the FDA do...???
and all the similar entities throughout the world...???
or HAVE THEY ALL BEEN BOUGHT OFF

hey .... youre going up against bill gates and warren buffoon .... good luck

[Mase]

Many states have laws that require a child to have their shots in order to go to school, daycare, etc.

That doesn't mean you are being forced to vaccinate your kids. Driving a car requires you have insurance, but no one is forcing you to drive a car. The schools just don't think stupid parents should be allowed to put other kids at risk because they're stupid.

I have all my vaccination updated. Ask anyone with shingles if they wish they'd had been vaccinated against chicken pox. But again, you keep using the word mandatory in this conversation. Either you don't know what the word means or you are intentionally misrepresenting vaccines.

By Jennifer Margullis, “A letter to President Donald Trump, which will be delivered to the White House, has over 250 signatures on it as of this morning.**

This letter from medical doctors and research scientists calls on the president to convene an independent vaccine safety commission.

“I am a clinical researcher long experienced in trials. An unbiased inquiry is never dangerous nor superfluous … The gold standard in medical problems is a randomized clinical trial with and without the agent. Everyone will benefit from the answer, particularly children.” ~James Holland, M.D.

“I am a practicing medical doctor, neuroscientist, geneticist, and scholar who was trained at Johns Hopkins, where autism was first described by Leo Kanner … When doctors first started vaccinating children, the benefits clearly outweighed the risks. We are seeing more complications now, most of which could be prevented by taking into consideration factors such as gender, age, nutritional status, and exposure to neurotoxins. We need to redefine this debate in scientific, and not political terms. Then we can vaccinate safely.” ~Diane Hennacy Powell, M.D.

As a journalist and book author who has been researching and writing about vaccine safety for over 15 years, I believe we need an independent vaccine safety commission. Some small evidence-based changes to the current CDC vaccination schedule could significantly improve health outcomes among America’s children.

I call on the media to:

1) Investigate and report on the growing body of scientific evidence that shows that acetaminophen/paracetamol given before or after vaccines is directly contributing to the autism epidemic. This brand new (March 16, 2107) peer-reviewed article by researchers at Duke and Harvard Universities should be making headline news.

2) Investigate and report on the fact that the United States is one of the only industrialized countries that gives a vaccine against a sexually transmitted disease (hepatitis B) to infants at birth regardless of risk. This vaccine contains 250 mcg of aluminum, more than ten times the safety limit for newborns, according to the FDA. We know now that its efficacy wanes by the time children reach the age where they are sexually active or using drugs. In this peer-reviewed study, for example, only 24% of those vaccinated in infancy had protection (which indicates a 76% failure rate) without an extra (“challenge”) dose.

3) Investigate and report on the dozens, if not hundreds, of medical doctors who are making evidence-based changes to the vaccine schedule and seeing excellent results. These doctors argue that they are able to keep children safe from infectious diseases without compromising their brains or immune health. My co-author, Dartmouth-trained pediatrician Paul Thomas, M.D., has 13,000 children in his pediatric practice in Portland, Oregon. He is available to the media who would like to speak with him. His phone should be ringing off the hook.”

Apparently if you are willing to read or pay attention it’s not just “stupid parents” who have concerns.

[mfish13]

I do not trust Kennedy. He is for trial lawyers.

[azkathy]

Perhaps Kennedy did just jump on the bandwagon so to speak.

There are many others who can’t get any media attention but he is a Kennedy so there you have his use-fullness.

Barbara Loe Fisher will be one of the speakers and she is one that I pay attention to here is a little about her,

“Barbara Loe Fisher is president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a non-profit charity she co-founded with parents of DPT vaccine injured children in 1982. For the past three decades, she has led a national, grassroots movement and public information campaign to institute vaccine safety reforms and informed consent protections in the public health system. She has researched, analyzed and publicly articulated the major issues involving the science, policy, law, ethics and politics of vaccination to become one of the world’s leading non-medical, consumer advocacy experts on the subject.

“She has authored position statements and articles that have contributed to the national dialogue about vaccine safety and informed consent, including “The Moral Right to Conscientious, Philosophical and Personal Belief Exemption to Vaccination” (National Vaccine Advisory Committee 1997); “Shots in the Dark” (The Next City Magazine 1999); “Smallpox and Forced Vaccination: What Every American Needs to Know” (The Vaccine Reaction 2002); “In the Wake of Vaccines” (Mothering Magazine 2004); “Vaccines, Autism & Chronic Inflammation: The New Epidemic” (Autism File 2009); “Whooping Cough Outbreaks and Vaccine Failures” (NVIC Newsletter 2010); “Doctors Denying Vaccine Risks: An American Tragedy” (NVIC Newsletter 2011); “Influenza Deaths: The Hype vs. the Evidence” (NVIC Newsletter 2012); “Measles Reports in America: What Does It mean?” (NVIC Newsletter 2013); “Leave Parents Free to Choose Vaccines” (USA Today 2014), and The Vaccine Culture War in America: Are You Ready? (2015).

The daughter of a nurse and an Army officer, she graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.A. in English and was a writer and community relations professional at a teaching hospital before becoming a Mom in 1978. The mother of three grown children, her oldest son suffered a convulsion, collapse and brain inflammation within hours of his fourth DPT shot in 1980 when he was two and a half years old and was left with multiple learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder.”

You are getting sick and tired? At 82 I grew up at a time when people GOT SICK AND DIED! I started school in 1939 when the common diseases had names people today have NEVER heard about. Hardly a school year passed without one classmate or another sickening and dying.
**********************************************

That may be true, but they were not dying from mumps, measles, chicken pox, hepatitis, ect. Even whooping cough deaths were rare.
Most kids died from infections, since antibiotics were not widely available until the late 40’s.

In fact, the number one killer was flu/pneumonia followed by TB.

So, please don’t act like all your classmates were dropping like flies due to polio or other childhood diseases.

[kara37]

Ask anyone with shingles if they wish they’d had been vaccinated against chicken pox.
*********************************************
Since you like to throw around the words stupid and idiot to everyone, I think it’s classic that you just made this idiotic statement.

They probably would have never gotten shingles if there was never a chicken pox vaccine. It was being exposed to chicken pox later in life that prevented people from getting shingles.
Since, none of their children or grandchildren get chicken pox anymore...... Surprise, now they have shingles.

However, don’t worry big pharma is there with another vaccine for you to take.

[Yaelle]

Thanks. I really respect this guy. He gets it. And President Trump gets it too. Too many good people get their normal infants vaccinated multiple times in their first few months of life, and the child never has a normal brain for the rest of his life. Autism makes life harder for the person and his family. It isn’t fair. Vaccination today has not been made safer according to science in many decades. Why? Your car make got safer with each passing YEAR! Vaccines today are are as neurotoxic as they were in the 1960s. No tests are used to choose which children may safely receive a vaccine when, and which should not. It’s primitive. QUI BONO from never changing this system?

[Yaelle]

I just want to say that I love you for putting it so much better than I ever could. I am passionate about this issue. Many FReepers who don’t trust the government on anything else open their mouths to the government talking points on vaccines and start to suck.

I am hoping the Trumps keep going forward to help save babies.

[Mase]

They probably would have never gotten shingles if there was never a chicken pox vaccine

Right. The chicken pox vaccine is 98% effective. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. 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. You guys heap scorn on the AGW charlatans but then go and believe nonsense like that. SMH.

[AppyPappy]

When liberals began embracing the movement, it went from being “anti-vaxxers” to “Vaccine Safety Advocates”.

[AppyPappy]

There is no link between Autism and vaccines. I am on the Autism spectrum and I am almost 60. Autism has always existed. But my generation was not allowed to indulge it so we learned to cope. Now parents hand their kid a computer and feed it until it grows. We indulge it now which is why we have so many.
I was not allowed to sit in a corner with a book and rock like I wanted. As a programmer, I work with lots of people just like me.

[azkathy]

They have lot’s of video’s posted on Facebook but I haven’t found a youtube source yet.

The speakers at the National Press Club were excellent.
