Kennedy Hearing

[Anonymous]

RFK should be able to fit right in with a liberal Democrat administration, but because Trump, all the Democrats are against.

Plus the campaign being waged by pharma to take out RFK. They are paying influencers online, and pushing various groups to attack RFK. Mostly Democrats, but they consider Senator Cassidy a key ally.

Democrats aren't looney-tunes anti-science like RFK Jr. The guy is a complete nut job.

Or, RFK Jr is full of sh!t and so is Trump who put him in that position. Anybody with half a brain knows this.

The “truth” about vaccines generally, is well established.

The fact that you think that medical knowledge is static tells me you understand nothing about science.

The reason you want medical experts to meet annually is that the “truth”changes every time a new study is published. That is why you need EXPERTS who can judge scientific rigor and make evidence-based recommendations.

Kennedy, is not only unqualified, but his main hiring criterion seems to be finding men who share his quacky biases.

Vaccines wouldn’t need their own court system if they were as safe as people claim.

People are particularly weirdly obsessed about vaccines, and that includes both plaintiffs and regular people in the jury bench.

If you could make sure any voting jury member had passed a test assessing basic biology and vaccine facts understanding -- even at a college freshman level -- you'd be fine.

But this thread shows how whackadoo these people are just milling about.

So you're saying people take vaxxes and then just randomly want to sue drug companies for no good reason? And for some reason this is different than how people approach any other medicine?

No, yeah, see -- this is why you would be utter patootie on a jury. There are things like the difference between correlation and causation, the fallacy of post hoc ergo propter hoc, statistical analysis, and the like, that aren't even on your radar.

Those are fancy terms, but they aren't fancy ideas. People have been believing in snake oil curing cancer, or that some vaccine magnetized them so they can stick keys on their foreheads, or such stuff, for forever. That's just the way a lot of ignorant or misled people walk through the world.

It's not "randomly suing." It's not that nothing happened. It's just that some people confuse it happening with it necessarily being caused by something, despite the massive weight of evidence to the contrary. And yes, for some reason, vaccines have a special little gold pedestal in their minds. I don't know why -- ask them. Ask yourself. You all don't make sense to me.

How is that different from any other medical intervention? Why don’t people make the same claims about antibiotics or knee replacements?

It’s only with vaccines that we’ve decided as a nation that two contemporaneous events are absolutely unrelated. Even when the package insert says it can cause that outcome.

Vaccines can’t cause anything but a little soreness in some people’s minds.

It’s clear that vaccines are a modern sacrement which thou shall not question.

My body my choice. Sound familiar? He is not saying ban all vaccines but leave the choice to the individuals.

That's not hard to understand- just like abortion.

Not when I am literally having a very hard time getting a covid vaccination. He's making it harder.

+1 I also have been unable to find anyone that is currently giving out covid vaccines within 100 miles of my house

Where are you? I just got one in Safeway pharmacy in Rockville. I'm younger than 65 and nobody asked if I have some condition that makes me more at risk of severe side effects. They did check my insurance, which covered it. But it was simple to get. I got Moderna. They were offering both Pfizer and Moderna and I had to pick. I had no clue which, so I just went with it.

OK. People smarter than me who love to inform the public, please weigh in here. I'm not MAGA so please don't flame me for not understanding. Why are reputable news sites and the hearing with RFK jr and the nonsense at the CDC making it seem like it's impossible to get a COVID vaccine...and then one poster in Rockville says they got one at Safeway and another poster somewhere upthread said they could not get one within 100 miles? Make this make sense.

Does this help? CVS immediately went into CYA mode, others follow.

CVS announced that it can only offer COVID-19 shots in the following states:

Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

What is the commonality with these states? Why Maryland and not Virginia? What does Mississippi have in common with Connecticut?

Please. The complaints about ultraprocessed foods or that drug companies are buying the regulators fits right in.

Trump’s former surgeon general calls for RFK Jr. to be fired
Jerome Adams, who served as US surgeon general during President Donald Trump’s first administration, is calling for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be fired as controversy continues to swirl over his handling of vaccine approvals.

RFK's gotta black guy after him,
Black guy in a bow-tie,
Apparently he worked for me.
They say he worked for me.

He says I oughta fire JFK Jr.,
Which I have the power to do.

So we'll have to see,
We'll have to see what happens.

Add Pennsylvania to the list. State legislators changed rules effective immediately to overturn trump/rfkjr nonsense.

“New York has declared a “statewide disaster emergency” to preserve access to COVID vaccines. Massachusetts is making insurers pay for vaccines recommended by the state and not solely those recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New Mexico is taking steps to ensure that pharmacists can continue to give out vaccines.
Some states are banding together to form regional health coalitions. Oregon, Washington, California and Hawaii have formed the West Coast Health Alliance to coordinate their vaccine recommendations. States in the Northeast are considering a public health collaboration.”

I’m sorry Maryland isn’t one of them, maybe you have a maga governor?

This is helpful. I appreciate you.

I am reading a book about Kennedy men. OMG. I had no idea how truly awful RFK Jr is. Racist, anti-semitic, how he's treated the women in his life, especially his second wife, his drug addiction, and we are supposed to believe this guy. Wow.

[Anonymous]

Trump's former surgeon general is urging him up fire Kennedy. I predict Kennedy is gone as shortly because he is bringing bad press to trump.
