In 2018, two infants in American Samoa died when nurses accidentally prepared MMR, vaccine with expired muscle relaxant rather than water. The Samoan government temporarily suspended the vaccination program, #Kennedy flooded the area with misinformation. The vaccination rate dropped to a dangerously low level. The next year, when a traveller brought measles to the islands, the disease tore through the population, sickening more than 5,700 people and killing 83, most of them young children. /

In December 2021, Kennedy falsely called the COVID-19 vaccine “the deadliest vaccine ever made,” citing deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which is part of the nation’s vaccine safety monitoring systems. But the VAERS website warns, any report “to VAERS is not documentation that a vaccine caused the event.” /

#Kennedy’s unorthodox views aren’t limited to vaccines. He’s suggested that certain antidepressants are behind the rise in school shootings and that a particular herbicide might be part of why more young people are identifying as transgender, neither of which is backed by any science. And he’s stated that Wi-Fi radiation and 5G are dangerous and cause cancer, despite no good evidence that they do.

“None of the vaccines are ever subjected to true placebo-controlled trials,” #Kennedy said in a June 15 episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. “It’s the only medical product that is exempt from that prior to licensure.”

All vaccines undergo safety testing prior to authorization or approval. To claim that vaccines are not tested for safety is overtly false.

In his appearance on Rogan’s podcast, #Kennedy made the same argument, saying that people get hepatitis B from sharing needles, “going to a really seasoned prostitute,” or participating in “sort of compulsive homosexual behavior.” He acknowledged that babies can get hepatitis B from their mothers, but said that every pregnant woman is tested for it, “so the baby doesn’t need this.”

“There was this huge decline in infection, in mortalities from infectious diseases that took place in the 20th C. And what caused that wasn’t vaccines. The real drop happened because of nutrition. Nutrition is critical to building immune systems. And so what was really killing these children was malnutrition.”

BUT vaccination, could not have contributed to a decline in deaths during this time because most vaccines were not widely implemented yet. RK doesn't mention this inconvenience tho.

FINALLY

“The reason the Vaccine Act was passed that gave immunity from liability to these companies is because they said the vaccines could not be produced — that they were unavoidably unsafe, and that phrase is in the 1986 statute, and it’s in the Supreme Court Bruesewitz case, which upheld that statute.”

“Unavoidably unsafe” doesn’t appear in the 1986 law, as #Kennedy claims

He's lying
He's dangerous
He will KILL YOU
