NEW YORK (AP) — Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. personally directed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to update its website to contradict its longtime guidance that vaccines don’t cause autism, he told The New York Times in an interview published Friday.
His comments provide clarity into who directed the CDC’s website change, after many current and former staffers at the agency were surprised to see new published guidance on Wednesday that defies scientific consensus. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine critic, has upended the public health agencies he oversees and pushed for and enacted changes that have unsettled much of the medical community, which sees his policies as harmful for Americans.
“The whole thing about ‘vaccines have been tested and there’s been this determination made,’ is just a lie,” Kennedy said in the interview, which was conducted Thursday.
The CDC’s “vaccine safety” page now claims that the statement “vaccines do not cause autism” is not based on evidence because it doesn’t rule out the possibility that infant vaccines are linked to the disorder. The page also has been updated to suggest that health officials have ignored studies showing a potential link.
Isolated, even exalted, by his wealth and power; so thoroughly so that he has become inhibited by his own lack of inhibition. Being a Kennedy, he probably has never had to deal with hearing the word ‘no’ outside of his childhood. Not in any way that has actually affected his life, at least.
It would almost be sad to be so divorced from reality if it didn’t mean his ignorance and incompetence were going to be ruining, destroying, and even ending all these less privileged lives.
Of all of them, it is so fucked that Rosemary was the one they forced into lobotomy. Not saying thats what should be done to rfk tbc, as I think it’s a brutal and disgusting overstepping of boundaries in just about any context, but it is also very telling that madness like his was left to fester while a young woman is almost literally cut out of herself for simply being too lively and earnest. For wanting to be like a real person with real feelings and interests instead of…whatever this man is.
Disgusting and infinitely shameful display. Both the individual and the unrightfuly esteemed brood that spawned him. It all illustrates what could be easily read as a genuine hatred for our species. Power over all else.
Thinking about this family and the outsized power they wield is just such a frustrating and distressing affair. Sorry for the rant, all.
God damn, I forgot about Rosemary. Not all Kennedys are evil as fuck, but that’s one fucking evil family
