Speaking of sons...

"Instagram took down the account of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the political scion and prominent anti-vaccine activist, on Wednesday over false information related to the coronavirus. 'We removed this account for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines,' Facebook, which owns Instagram, said in a statement. Mr. Kennedy, the son of the former senator and U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, worked for decades as an environmental lawyer but is now better known as an anti-vaccine crusader."

I support the vaccination effort, but whenever I see the word “debunked” in a mainstream newspaper, what I see is “denounced.”

The problem with vaccines is that they are not 100% good or 100% bad, it’s a matter of weighing the benefits and the costs, and we can’t do that if we can’t discuss them openly. BTW, when will Harris be cancelled from social media for her comments denouncing the vaccine and warning people not to take it? I kid, I kid, it’s not about vaccines, it’s about power.

What is really funny is that one of the "Times Pick” comments blames the attempted prosecution on Trump when the prosecutor himself said that the problem was lack of “equity” in distributing the doses, which it seems would have been dumped down the toilet otherwise. That sounds a lot more Woke than MAGA to me, and the DA is elected in Houston, meaning he is a Democrat probably with a campaign funded by Soros and he has promised to take it to a grand jury since he couldn’t get a judge to bite. In fact the judge’s response to his attempt to prosecute a good deed was pretty scathing.

“In the number of words usually taken to describe an allegation of retail shoplifting, the State attempts, for the first time, to criminalize a doctor’s documented administration of vaccine doses during a public health emergency,” he wrote. “The Court emphatically rejects this attempted imposition of the criminal law on the professional decisions of a physician.”

Both the Texas Medical Association and the Harris County Medical Society recently issued a statement of support for physicians like Dr. Gokal who find themselves scrambling “to avoid wasting the vaccine in a punctured vial.”

“It is difficult to understand any justification for charging any well-intentioned physician in this situation with a criminal offense,” the statement said.

The children of Generation X experienced massive spikes in Autism (Generation Z). My son is not autistic, but I did have to take him to a neuropsychologist to have him tested. There were concerns. I know at least 10 couples with and autistic child. TEN!

Of course like the tobacco companies claim, there is not direct link between smoking and lung cancer, so does big pharma and autism.

But Generation X are sheep filled with tears and fears. So most will watch the same happen to their grand-kids and remain silent. We really are pussies.

So of course, we’re not allowed to ask questions when Bill Gates and Fauci want to stick 7 Billion people in the ass x2? That’s some evil shit right there.

FB is a defacto utility (and keep in mind Zuck has actually asked for FB to be subject to "public utility"-style regulation) they should watch their step. Ma Bell, back in the day, provided you a phone number regardless of what you said when using that number, unless (in rare cases) you broke a law.

FB should not be able to delete your account unless the account owner breaks a law and part of the sentence is to lose FB access. If FB wants to show their woke-ism they should have the ability to mark an account or post with a notice that FB disagrees with it or disparages it, but that's all. Such marking though should also disqualify them from 230 protection, however.

Ask yourself. Forget about the mRNA vaccine. Do the Blue State forced lock downs meet these Nuremberg ethics codes? I don’t think so. Especially #4. Same thing with double masks. Or NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo and NJ Gov Phil Murphy, conducting nursing home contamination experiments that killed thousands. How about #10 which requires termination of a failed experiment (school closings)? You think the Teachers Unions know that one?

These are the questions RFK Jr was asking. DAMN GOOD QUESTIONS. Anyone who thinks banning RFK Jr. is just about RFK Jr. is the idiot. We've all been Fauci's lab rats for a year now.

1.The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.

2.The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.

3.The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.

4.The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

5.No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.

6.The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.

7.Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.

8.The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.

9.During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.

10.During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

The absurdity in policing opinions about science is that at the heart of the scientific method is skepticism regarding the current scientific "consensus".

There are currently serious scientists dedicating their lives to challenging Einstein's theories now. Are they to be cancelled on social media?

My daughter is an occupational therapist and works with kids who were normal prior to getting multiple vaccinations. She says the problems are worse now because they give way more vaccinations to kids today than 50 years age, many of them really unnecessary and ineffective (such as for flu). Also she says read the complete list of potential complications/side effects. You have to dig those up on medical websites. She recently sent me this link:

That's absolutely not true. For Autism, once the still unexplained spike is explained, everything else is debunked. But it has yet to be explained. Therefore, the change and increase in the vaccination schedule of Generation Z is still on the table. It is an absolute variable between Gen X - Millennials - and Gen Z.

Once we know what IT IS, then we can debunk what it ISN'T. Simple.

RFK Jr's ban is about more that just "anti-vax". He is openly questioning Bill Gates REAL motives. Fauci's too. The only thing off the table, I believe, is altruism. And yes, he is challenging their ethics against the Nuremberg Codes. Rightfully so. Brave man.

Obviously you haven’t seen any of RFK Jr’s Instagram posts or writings during 2020. It’s not just “anti-vax”. He was bitching throughout 2020 about some very relevant things prior to the mRNA vaccine’s release. He’s questioning lock downs. School Closures. Masks. Isolation of the elderly.

He’s asking Why these “scientific” methods weren’t used during the Hong Kong flu which killed 100K Americans between 1968 and 1969. Nobody cancelled Woodstock. He is also openly stating that we are seeing our Constitutional rights and individual liberties stripped very quickly in the name of this unproven science. His Father and Uncle would have done the same.

Measles vaccine. Great. Mumps. Great. Polio. Great. But COVID -19 in 2020 was a year of scientific and medical cowardice and dishonesty. The vilification of Hydroxychloroquine as a life-saving treatment #1. Tens of thousands died needlessly for the Politicization
of a low cost, effective drug.

That is more the scope of RFK Jr’s fight. It’s broader that you comprehend.

I asked "What is the explanation for the Generation Z autism spike?" There is no explanation. I asked if you would inject a child with mRNA. Again...nothing.

The controversy also includes the use of vaccine preservatives that contained mercury (Thimerosal). That was more the American focus. They don’t use Thimerosal anymore, but did throughout the 90’s. Why did they stop suing it in 2001? Because Mercury is Baaaadddd.

So then one might ask, why did these idiots ever start using it?

Your "debunk" link is to the European view which was measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines.

To ask, “did they preserve this shit safely” is not anti-vax. Nor is asking “do these assholes like Fauci and Gates really know what they are doing”? RFK Jr. is questioning Big Pharma, Fauci, and Gates' infallibility. You're not.

Yes, highly unlikely. Covid-19 caused mortality is correlated with co-morbidities correlated with age. However, it's not a coincidence that excess deaths occurred in Planned Parent/hood facilities in Democrat jurisdictions in the first months of the pandemic.

No I would not personally inject mRNA into a child.

mRNA or any other vaccine that does not have a well-established risk profile. A child has a low risk of suffering disease progression, is more likely to develop broad-spectrum immunity from a natural infection, and, in the worst case, is eligible for several effective, inexpensive, low-risk treatments.

FYI-also because there is a spike in diagnosis does not mean that there is a spike in the prevalence of autism.

daskol म्हणाले...

Debunk has nothing to do with the domain of vaccines and any ill effects they may have. That's a glitch a lot of journalists and lawyers have who operate in the world of narrative. There would be a study that would either support a link or one that showed no link, and these results would be interpreted either to strengthen the case that there's a causal link between autism, or to weaken it. There's no such thing as magic debunking dust, but there's really really no such thing in science.

My personal theory for an explanation of an increase in Autism: They started testing for it.

I am also going to throw in that young kids in that generation had much much less play time/face time with other kids than previous generations and started getting more TV/computer screen time.

I would expect mercury/heavy metals in vaccines to have much less subtle affects on the body than rewiring specific parts of the brain.

Shut up Mike, they only want to talk about mercury. The same kind that is in tuna fish. OK, thimerosal used in vaccines breaks down into the ethylmercury in tuna fish, which your liver can handle if you don’t eat fish every day of the week. There is no mercury in the COVID vaccine. It hasn’t been used in vaccines in decades on account of TDA, Thimersosal Derangement Syndrome. Autism did not seem to drop after they stopped using it.

Here, for instance, is what the US Food and Drug Administration says is in Pfizer’s vaccine:

Active Ingredient
-nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2
Lipids
-(4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis (ALC-3015)
-(2- hexyldecanoate),2-[(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N,N-ditetradecylacetamide (ALC-0159)
-1,2-distearoyl-snglycero-3-phosphocholine (DPSC)
-cholesterol
Salts
-potassium chloride
-monobasic potassium phosphate
-sodium chloride
-basic sodium phosphate dihydrate
Other
-sucrose
MIT Technology Review

The study I referenced regarding children who had access to cable TV, and children who didn’t that seemed to show that kids with more TV had a higher incidence of autism will never be able to be replicated because the era when there were significant populations of kids in the US with no access to TV or other screens is over.

My favorite Laura Nyro song, "Save the Country" has the lines "Keep the dream of the two young brothers / Gonna take that dream / And ride that dove..." referring to John and Robert. The Myth of Camelot.

I was glad to see them deprecated years later, especially Edward Kennedy's failed presidential bid in 1980. But the thought of "cancelling a Kennedy" is just unbelievably weird!

What's the difference between Abraham, Martin and John? Abraham did not patronize prostitutes.
