Why Robert Kennedy Jr.'s appointment to head Health and Human Services is problematic

RFK Jr. isn’t anti-vaccines, he is PRO-VACCINE SAFETY.

[@oldbutstillyoung2170]

Yes. This is an important distinction lots of people either don't understand or choose to ignore. In the late 1980s, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act was passed in the US. This legislation granted blanket immunity to makers of vaccines that are on the childhood vaccine schedule. Think about what this means. It means that pharmaceutical companies that make vaccines no longer have any incentive to make vaccines safe, because they know they won't suffer financial consequences for vaccine injuries.

[@amandjohaun]

Correct. They are just choosing to ignore that fact

[@patrickc8190]

@@oldbutstillyoung2170 no! it was put into law because they didn't want vax makers to go bankrupt trying defend theselves with frivolous lawsuits from anti vaxers. Then no one would make them.

[@chriskotwicki5827]

Frivolous lawsuits?! The vaccine court pays people for vaccine injury with taxpayer dollars. There were CONTAMINATED VACCINES due to improper production and that severely damaged children’s health. It is okay. I used to think all vaccines are safe all the time. Its not the case. People have reactions just like any other medication. May cause fever, seizures, gullian barre syndrome, acute encephalopathy, or anaphylactic shock. Ask your doctor if… oh wait you cant ask your doctor the gov makes u take them.

I think he knows that. RFK was until recently taking his annual influenza vaccines. He only wish for WAY BETTER safety test for vaccines. I think Neil knows that by now and he his a fool. THe other guy is very honestly ignorant of how honestly RFK wants to serve people. I think that if people knew further deeper RFK they would cry seeing how really he wants people and planet healthy, and all violent are critics he is facing for decade.

Honestly if you have a college education and have had to write papers that include references, one you have to vet the references and get them past a professor who is an expert in the field generally. I often say to people if you can't get your argument past a college professor or judge you might consider your sources and information. This is not an elitist view but an understanding of the scientific method. I've just had a chance to watch this documentary. There is excellent information on the role of scientific inquiry through clinical research trials. One of the issues I think we have here is an understanding of statistics, as part of anti-vac and general scientific data. Another is confirmation bias, if think you have the answer and just look for confirmation of that rather than examining arguments including published articles in legitimate publications it is a basic failure in protecting yourself, and as described in the documentary a social agreement of protecting yourself and others.In the end we are all in this together try to keep that in mind.

Tyson is correct: there is a chance Kennedy may shift from representing and being close to grieving parents. He was committed to their need to place blame for their children's illness.
