RFK Jr.: Media hitting me harder than Trump
RFK Jr.: Media hitting me harder than Trump
"If I believed the stuff that's written about me in the papers and reported about me on the mainstream news sites, I would definitely not vote for me,” Kennedy said.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blamed the media for dragging his campaign Sunday, saying he has been slammed “even more than President Trump was slammed” by mainstream media outlets.
“I’ve been really, you know, slammed in a way that I think is unprecedented,” Kennedy said during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic who is running a longshot primary campaign against President Joe Biden, is more popular among Republicans than Democrats, according to polling.
The nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, Kennedy Jr. has been hit with backlash for his stances on vaccines, particularly recent comments he made suggesting that the coronavirus could have been “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people,” while sparing Jewish and Chinese people. Kennedy denied allegations of racism and antisemitism, saying on Twitter: “I have never, ever suggested that the Covid-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews.”
“I mean, listen, if I believed the stuff that’s written about me in the papers and reported about me on the mainstream news sites, I would definitely not vote for me,” Kennedy told host Maria Bartiromo. “I would think I was a very despicable person.”

So it can cause issues to some....why force it on 2 month olds?
"The notion that thiomersal causes autism has led some parents to have their children treated with costly and potentially dangerous therapies such as chelation therapy, which is typically used to treat heavy metal poisoning, due to parental fears that autism is a form of “mercury poisoning”.[16] As many as 2 to 8% of autistic children in the U.S., numbering as many as several thousand children per year, receive mercury-chelating agents.
I don't get why you think this argues against me? I never said it caused autism, I don't believe it does.

Local hypersensitivity reactions happen with all vaccines. That's why they tell you to stay in the pharmacy for 15 minutes after you get a shot. It has nothing to do with thimerosol. The reason you accept that is that we take immunological advice from immunologists, not from partisan nincompoops who read something that sounds bad on the internet and go, "SeE!? WhY mAkE ShOt? iT hUrT bAbY1!!"

I'm reiterating why your "why not play it safe" shtick is a toxic mischaracterization and deflection that downplays the very real harm his JAQ conspiracy ideation has caused in the world. The answer to "why not play it safe?" is "you're not playing it safe, your trolling and people are taking your megaphoned ignorance as gospel, often at the expense of their own children."

You're not making a great case to mandate over 30 vaccines for kids without proper testing.

Nobody is arguing that. But rigorous testing in line with most western nations, seems fair.

Yeah, I don't like when the government forces every child to get a shot from a big pharma organization that pays the FDA to get through the testing with shitty made up science. I think there should be rigorous testing, which there are good trials, but just to be more in line with most of western europe, as opposed to safeguarding big pharma companies.

ALL vaccines are properly tested. Stop implying they're not.

And I don't like when my toddler gets measles from your un-vaxxed kid before they're old enough to be inoculated. Don't want a government mandated vaccine? Then don't interact with the general public. Problem solved.

Bullshit. Source your claims. I'd bet my life savings you couldn't even read the findings of a Phase III clinical trial without relying on quora.com for support.

There is and there are. Next.

Done. Next.
Absolutely murdered. I upvoted your comment, kind stranger
