[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Trump doesn’t start a war, RFK will be the most dangerous man in America, bar none.   A lot of people missed the headlines.

RFK is currently undermining liability protections for vaccine makers. It could make vaccines compeltely inaccessible, or the development of new ones impossible.

He also recently removed an FDA website warning people about the dangers of chelation  therapy to try to treat autism.  Chelation "therapy" has caused severe adverse events and deaths in children whose parents stupidly gave it to them. It has absolutely basis in science whatsoever for treating autism.

RFK also just made it so that states no longer have to report medicaid, CHIP vaccination rates to CMS either.  Just utter insanity.

Again, RFK without question is the single most dangerous man in America. Preventable infectious diseases are skyrocketing.  The war on vaccines is far more worse than you can possibly imagine of you havent been paying very deep attention to very specific news.  He is also pushing all sorts of whacko, insano ideas onto the public for health treatments.  We literally have the dumbest idiots on the planet right now in charge of public health, and the consequences are catastrophic. [/quote]

You ever wonder why vaccines need special legal protection no other form of healthcare gets? We still make antibiotics and replace knees without special legal immunity.[/quote]

There's a reason for that, and it's the 1976 swine flu. Early on, there was serious concern this could be a dangerous epidemic--they were worried about a repeat of the 1918 pandemic. A soldier at Fort Dix who had symptoms collapsed and died after a 5 mile hike. Samples were taken from soldiers at Fort Dix. Most were of type A flu but a few were similar to the 1918 virus.

The decision to launch a mass immunization program was fraught--because maybe this would turn out to be nothing and they would be criticized for the program, or maybe it would be a repeat of 1918 and they would be criticized for not protecting the public.

The pharma companies also worried about being sued for any problems claimed to be related to the vaccine, which led Congress to indemnify the companies

Then what happened was that a woman was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre who had recently had the vaccine (IIRC on later review her symptoms and history didn't even MATCH Guillain-Barre). This led to doctors watching for the syndrome and finding it--not always diagnosing correctly and no way to confirm any connection between the vaccine and the condition. This led to the courts having to figure out an unprecedented process for sorting through claims. IT also led to the VERS registry and was probably the beginning of segments of the public taking issue with vaccines generally.

[i]Flu[/i], by a NYT reporter, tells the whole story from the 1918 flu through the 1976 swine flu up to recent times including avian flu. I highly recommend the book. [/quote]
