Robert F Kennedy Jr. - the anti-vax candidate? - BBC Trending podcast, BBC World Service 

About 20 years ago, Professor Paul Offit received a phone call. "Robert F Kennedy Junior called me and he said that he needed my help," says the scientist, whose vaccine against rotavirus is estimated to save some two thousand lives a day in the developing world. Mr Kennedy, a member of the famous political dynasty and nephew of former president John F Kennedy, told Prof Offit he was looking for information. He wanted to reassure parents who were worried about the effects of a mercury-based preservative called thimerosal, found in some vaccines. Prof Offit confesses he was excited to be able to talk a Kennedy through the studies, which showed children exposed to thimerosal (not found in most US vaccines anyway since 2001) were no worse off than those who hadn't had exposure. But a year or so later, Mr Kennedy wrote an article published in Rolling Stone magazine which repeated baseless claims that thimerosal was causing health problems. It also wrongly claimed the vaccine that Prof Offit was working on at the time contained this preservative, suggesting this had driven him to misrepresent the risks. The article was later retracted due to a large number of inaccuracies. Despite these wrong claims, Mr Kennedy - now a presidential candidate - appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast last summer repeating his version of the story. We contacted Mr Kennedy's team but they did not comment on this specific allegation. "I think he's remarkably dishonest," Prof Offit says. Other part: "Whenever presented with copious evidence and scientific studies that vaccines do not cause autism… or whatever health condition he attributes to them, it is never enough," said Dr David Gorski, professor of surgery at Wayne State University and managing editor of the site Science Based Medicine. "He always moves the goalposts, demanding still more evidence." When contacted for comment, Mr Kennedy's team maintained that: "Proper safety studies have never been conducted on vaccines: long-term, all-cause mortality studies comparing fully-vaccinated children to never-vaccinated children. Many Kennedy supporters echo this argument but Dr Gorski says it "just plain not true". He explains that for decades countless groups of independent scientists have looked at the effect of vaccines on a huge range of specific health outcomes and found the benefits far outweigh any risks. From BBC site. Check the facts, check his speches (I admit I did not check if he trully said that,all I have seen was this small text on BBC site)and see if he is an anti vax person.

Exactly. This the devious Marxist media that has hidden the real reasons his Father and JFK were murdered.

Because the studies are fine and good enough and y'all are just stupid. That's why. Crying "better studies" is dumb when studies are fine. You can ALWAYS say "better studies" because it always sounds plausible. Vaccines are way safer than the disease they prevent and it's well studied y'all are shitting your pants because grifters manipulate you

He spreads nonsense.

Because big pharma pays lots of money to the BBC to run propaganda for big pharma...

Because he's lying

This is so much on point. All the people out there saying negative things about rfk,kr have never really listened to his interviews. They hear sound bites from both the republicans AND democrats who orchestrate false claims in order to discredit him. Why? Because they want to win, of course! It takes some courage to vote for someone outside of the normal democratic/ republican blah blah blah stuff.

I have the same disorder it doesn’t affect your health at all

He is agressively antivax. Look up his behaviour in Samoa. He told parents that vaccines cause autism and that the measles vaccine had killed two children. What had actually happened, was that nurses used muscle relaxant instead of water by mistake to prepare a batch of MMR vaccines, resulting in two infants dying. The vaccine hadn't killed them but the mistakenly administered tranquillizer.

If you go back and look at what the BBC presented as 'science' during Covid, you will find that they towed the Big Pharma line...and were wrong on nearly everything. Have they apologized? Have they admitted how they were spreading misinformation? Of course not. The media is funded by a pharma lobby that misleads constantly.

Like RFK is younger? He's got 9 toes in the grave.

@@theobserver9131Did you see Kennedy skiing w the Olympian last month?? Vids all over, no chance any other candidate can do that.

@@theobserver9131How about he’s the only candidate discussing chronic disease and the tie between Corp/Reg interests over our foods - There’s some more reference to Health and Longevity.

If your child "acquired" AUTISM, you'd be interested.

👽👽👽

He has voice condition which has nothing to do with his intellect

He’s very healthy just has a voice disorder which affects his vocal chords

Yeah, Biden is far more coherent 😵
