Robert Kennedy Jr. to announce White House run, challenging President Biden. From The New York Times
Activist, attorney and author Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at home in Los Angeles, Calif, on May 24, 2019. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has evolved from an environmental lawyer concerned about mercury poisoning into a crusader for individual liberty.
Vaccination is a singular public health success that has saved untold millions of lives. Vaccines have eradicated smallpox, averted millions of deaths from measles and sent naturally occurring polio cases plummeting, from an estimated 350,000 in 1988 to six reported cases worldwide in 2021, according to the World Health Organization.
Facebook and Instagram have removed the accounts of Children’s Health Defense, and Kennedy has accused them of censorship. He is also suing the Biden administration and Fauci, who for decades led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, accusing them of pressuring social media companies to censor free speech.
The Children’s Health Defense website also states that certain vaccines are not tested against placebos in clinical trials, citing polio, hepatitis and meningitis vaccines as examples. That is misleading. Brand-new vaccines — from polio to measles to COVID-19 — are tested in large clinical trials that include placebo groups. But scientists agree it would be unethical to withhold lifesaving vaccines from study participants.
The article was retracted in 2010, and Wakefield was later barred from practicing medicine. But in the years after its publication, another theory began to take hold: that thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative that had been used for decades to prevent bacteria from growing in multiple-dose vials of vaccines, caused autism.The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine never contained thimerosal, but other vaccines given to infants did.
In 2005, Rolling Stone and Salon copublished an article by Kennedy, headlined “Deadly Immunity,” that blamed thimerosal in vaccines for fueling the rise in autism. Salon later retracted the article. Kennedy insisted Salon caved to pressure from government regulators and the pharmaceutical industry.
