The following excerpt is from a recent interview featuring Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. His comments confirm my experience. Everyone I’ve talked to who “opposes” RFK, Jr. knows next to nothing about him, including on the topic of vaccines. They think he is against all vaccines, which is palpably untrue. He wants them to be subjected to the same safety tests as other pharmaceuticals. This position is made clear in many of his easily accessible interviews and in his 2023 book, Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak (2023). First, an excerpt from this interview:
Patrick Bet-David:
What do you say to the people who like many of your policies, who liked the fact that you’re pushing the establishment? But at the same time, aren’t you just kind of helping President Biden become a president again and get reelected,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr:
I’m running against the two weakest candidates in American history. President Trump has a very, very intense following up, but it’s relatively small and President Biden, there’s almost nobody that I’ve met. In fact, I can say, I’ve never met anybody so far who says you should vote for President Biden, because he has a great vision for the country, that he’s energetic, that he can grapple with the big problems on. They all say, “You got to vote for him, because otherwise Trump is going to start a dictatorship.” My polls right now: I’m beating both candidates in all Americans under 45 years old. And Americans under 35 years old, I’m beating them both by 10 points. I’m up to now 24% average in the battleground states, which puts me within 10 points of winning the electio., I can win the election, theoretically, with 34%. And I’m already at 24% in key states like Michigan, and I have almost a full year. And this with spending very, very little money compared to them. I’m leading with independent voters 36 with independent voters, and President Trump is at 27, I think and President Biden is at 31. We’re essentially in a three way tie with Hispanic voters, I’m leading everybody with mothers who have children at home. The only group that I don’t, I don’t do well in are baby boomers. And I believe that reason that I’m not doing well with them is that they get their news from television, MSNBC, from CNN, and the New York Times The Washington Post.
I have seven kids. And I would believe that none of them have ever watched a evening news on TV, they get their news from other sources. They get it from the internet, they get it from podcasts, etc. And in that generation, I am dominating. So what we’re seeing anecdotally is that people who watch my interviews and long form interviews, even Liberal Democrats have a very, very high conversion rate. So my strategy over the next 11 months, is to get as many of those people to be able to see interviews with me, to ask me questions. And, you know, to get to know, something about me that’s outside this kind of stew of defamations and pejoratives that define me in the in the mainstream media.
Now, here are a few excerpts from Kennedy’s book, Vax-Unvax:
Since the enactment of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which provides a liability shield for vaccine manufacturers, the vaccination schedule has multiplied considerably. Today, children following the CDC-recommended vaccination schedule receive a minimum of seventy-three shots for seventeen different diseases, with a whopping twenty-eight injections by their first birthday. . .
Long-Term Vaccine Safety Studies Are Lacking
Despite this huge increase in vaccination, researchers have done very little to study the health of these children, either in the short term or the long term. While medical authorities credit universal childhood vaccination programs with eradicating several deadly infectious diseases, these same experts show little interest in studying the acute and long-term adverse effects of vaccination, nor do safety studies focus on the health effects of the collective vaccination schedule. Clinical trials for vaccine approval by the FDA exclusively evaluate single-vaccine products, even though infants following the CDC schedule receive up to six vaccines at the same time. Even after FDA approval, CDC completes post-market surveillance on individual vaccines only . . .
Many vaccines have long-term health impacts that do not become evident for years. In a 1999 interview, Anthony Fauci, former longtime director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, acknowledged that many severe injuries would remain hidden for years, and if the agency rushed vaccines to approval, “then you find out that it takes twelve years for all hell to break loose, and then what have you done?”
Despite Dr. Fauci’s warning, FDA clinical safety studies generally last for a relatively short duration, precluding the detection of long-term health effects. For example, researchers monitored vaccine recipients in the Engerix-B (hepatitis B) clinic trial for adverse events for only four days after injection.+ Similarly, researchers monitored vaccine recipients in the Infanrix (DTaP) clinical trial for adverse events for only four days after injection? For the ActHIB (Haemophilus influenzae B), scientists monitored patients for a mere forty-eight hours after injection. That’s it! There is virtually no science assessing the overall health effects of the vaccination schedule or its component vaccines…
In 2013, the National Vaccine Program Office of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) commissioned another IOM committee to update the earlier findings about the lack of evidence to support claims of safety for the entire CDC infant/child vaccination schedule.# The committee found that “few studies have comprehensively assessed the association between the entire immunization schedule or variations in the overall schedule and categories of health outcomes, and no study has directly examined health outcomes and stakeholder concerns in precisely the way that the committee was charged to address in its statement of task.” The committee continued, “studies designed to examine the long-term effects of the cumulative number of vaccines or other aspects of the immunization schedule have not been conducted [emphasis added].”
The lack of information on the overall safety of the vaccination schedule was so compelling that the Vaccinated versus Unvaccinated committee then recommended “that the Department of Health and Human Services incorporate study of the safety of the overall childhood immunization schedule into its processes for setting priorities for research, recognizing stakeholder concerns, and establishing the priorities on the basis of epidemiological evidence, biological plausibility, and feasibility.”s The IOM also recommended that the CDC use its private database, the VSD, to study the overall health effects of the vaccination schedule using retrospective analyses.
A decade later, the CDC has yet to respond to the IOM committee’s recommendations with a meaningful study of the health effects of the vaccination schedule.
