While medical experts across the world have expressed dismay at Trump’s appointment of Robert Kennedy, the ‘International chiropractors Association’ has just published this remarkable note:

Donald J. Trump made it official that he was nominating Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to serve as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Secretary-designee Kennedy has spent his entire career championing the health of the nation through education, advocacy, research and when needed litigation.

Among his many accomplishments are protecting the environment with Riverkeeper and the Natural Resources Defense Council His work at Riverkeeper succeeded in setting long-term environmental legal standards. Kennedy won legal battles against large corporate polluters. He became an adjunct professor of environmental law at Pace University School of Law in 1986 and founded the Pace’s Environmental Litigation Clinic which he co-directed for a decade.

It would be in the Pace Law Review that the landmark paper, “Unanswered Questions from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury” (https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1681&context=pelr) would be published in 2011.

Kennedy became laser focused on the autism epidemic while giving lectures on the dangers of mercury in fish, he was repeatedly approached by the mothers of children born healthy who regressed into autism after suffering adverse reactions from childhood vaccines, including their concern about the mercury-based preservative, thimerosal, being used in vaccines including the Hepatitis B vaccine given at birth. Kennedy’s approach to the issue was the same as it always, looking at the science. He assembled a team who gathered all the science and reviewed the issues with him. This resulted in the publication of the book, Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak
The Evidence Supporting the Immediate Removal of Mercury—a Known Neurotoxin—from Vaccines.

After establishing and leading the nonprofit Children’s Health Defense, last year Kennedy stepped back from the organization to throw his hat in the ring to be President. Becoming the embodiment of his uncle John F. Kennedy’s famous quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country!”, Kennedy reached out to President Trump to form an alliance to focus on the crisis of chronic disease in the United States, and suspended his campaign to focus on the Make American Healthy Again (MAHA) Initiative.

ICA President, Dr. Selina Sigafoose Jackson, who is currently in Brazil promoting the protection of chiropractic as a separate and distinct profession stated, “Many ICA members have been supporters of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s philanthropic activities and are all in on the MAHA Initiative. The Mission, Vision, and Values of the ICA align with the stated goals of the MAHA Initiative. We stand ready to provide policy proposals and experts to serve as advisors to the incoming Administration and to Secretary Kennedy upon his swearing in.”

Perhaps I am permitted to contrast this with some health-related truths about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (my apologies, if the list is incomplete – please add to it by posting further important issues):

  • Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has, since about 20 years, been a leading figure of the anti-vaccine movement.
  • During the epidemic, he pushed the conspiracy theory that “the quarantine” was used as cover to install 5G cell phone networks.
  • He claimed that “one out of every six American women has so much mercury in her womb that her children are at risk for a grim inventory of diseases, including autism, blindness, mental retardation and heart, liver and kidney disease.”
  • He wrote that, “while people were dying at the rate of 10,000 patients a week, Dr. Fauci declared that hydroxychloroquine should only be used as part of a clinical trial. For the first time in American history, a government official was overruling the medical judgment of thousands of treating physicians, and ordering doctors to stop practicing medicine as they saw fit.”
  • He pushed the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 had been “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.”
  • He claimed in a 2023 podcast interview that “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective”.
  • In a 2021 podcast, he urged people to “resist” CDC guidelines on when kids should get vaccines.
  • He founded Children’s Health Defense’ that spreads fear and mistrust in science. One chiropractic group in California had donated $500,000 to this organisation.
  • In 2019, he visited Samoa where he became partly responsible for an outbreak of measles, which made 5,700 people sick and killed 83 of them.
  • He called mercury-containing vaccines aimed at children a holocaust. In 2015, he compared the horrors committed against Jews to the effects of vaccines on children. “They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone. This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country.”
  • He repeatedly alleged that exposure to chemicals — “endocrine disruptors” — is causing gender dysphoria in children and contributing to a rise in LGBTQ-youth. According to him, endocrine disruptors are “chemicals that interfere with the body’s hormones and are commonly found in pesticides and plastic.”
  • He stated “Telling people to “trust the experts” is either naive or manipulative—or both.”
  • He plans to stop water fluoridation.
  • He slammed the FDA’s “suppression” of raw milk.
  • He said that a worm ate part of his brain which led to long-lasting “brain fog.”
  • He has a 14-year-long history of abusing heroin from the age of 15. The police once arrested him for possession; he then faced up to two years in jail for the felony but was sentenced to two years probation after pleading guilty.
  • He stated: “WiFi radiation … does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer…cell phone tumors behind the ear.”
  • He claimed that rates of autism have increased even though “there has been no change in diagnosis and no change in screening either.” Yet, both have changed significantly.
  • He wrote: (Fauci’s) “obsequious subservience to the Big Ag, Big Food, and pharmaceutical companies has left our children drowning in a toxic soup of pesticide residues, corn syrup, and processed foods, while also serving as pincushions for 69 mandated vaccine doses by age 18—none of them properly safety tested.”
  • He stated that cancer rates are skyrocketing in the young and the old – a statement that is evidently untrue.
  •  He authored a viral post on X: “FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can’t be patented by Pharma. If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags.”
  • He has also aligned himself with special interests groups such as anti-vaccine chiropractors.
  • He stated categorically: “You cannot trust medical advice from medical professionals.”
  • He said he’s going to put a pause on infectious diseases research for 8 years.
  • He promoted the unfounded theory that the CIA killed his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy.
  • He linked school shootings to the increased prescription of antidepressants.
  • An evaluation of verified Twitter accounts from 2021, found Kennedy’s personal Twitter account to be the top “superspreader” of vaccine misinformation on Twitter, responsible for 13% of all reshares of misinformation, more than three times the second most-retweeted account.

 

PS

Let me finish with a true statement: The World Health Organization has estimated that global immunization efforts have saved at least 154 million lives in the past 50 years.

 

 

26 Responses to The ‘International Chiropractors Association’ Congratulated Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on His Selection as ‘Secretary of Health and Human Services’

  • Proof, as if more were needed, that ‘chiropractic’ should not be regarded a serious health care profession.

    Why did ‘Dr’ Selina Sigafoose Jackson not train and qualify as a MD?
    For her, what was the unique selling point of ‘chiropractic’?

    Patients should be told so that they can assess her integrity and professional standing before assenting to be treated by her, or other members of the ICA.

    • Easy to explain: chiropractic addresses the root causes of disease. We all know that. (Not)! And chiropractors also treat the “whole person” unlike real doctors who only treat symptoms by cutting, burning & poisoning. We all know that, too.(Not)!

  • @Edzard

    RFK Jr is not anti-vax, he has stated as much…. and neither am I.

    Why do you continually post lies ? You are committing libel.

    • “RFK Jr is not anti-vax” – you might be correct, he is an absurd vax-loon!
      “You are committing libel.” THIS STATEMENT MIGHT BE LIBELOUS!

    • Edzard wrote: “Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has, since about 20 years, been a leading figure of the anti-vaccine movement.”

      ‘RG’ wrote: “RFK Jr is not anti-vax…”,

      aka:
      • derailment,
      • “that does not follow”,
      • invalid inference,
      • non-sequitur.

      Being, or not being, “anti-vax” has nothing whatsoever to do with spreading anti-vax rhetoric.

      We love Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but he is part of a misinformation campaign that’s having heartbreaking—and deadly—consequences.

      The World Health Organization reports a 300 percent increase in the numbers of measles cases around the world this year [2019] compared with the first three months of 2018. More than 110,000 people are now dying from measles every year. The WHO, the health arm of the United Nations, has listed vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 threats to global health in 2019. Most cases of preventable diseases occur among unvaccinated children, because parents have chosen not to vaccinate, have delayed vaccination, have difficulty accessing vaccines, or the children were too young to receive the vaccines.

      These tragic numbers are caused by the growing fear and mistrust of vaccines—amplified by internet doomsayers. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—Joe and Kathleen’s brother and Maeve’s uncle—is part of this campaign to attack the institutions committed to reducing the tragedy of preventable infectious diseases. He has helped to spread dangerous misinformation over social media and is complicit in sowing distrust of the science behind vaccines.

      • @Pete Attkins
        Anyone spreading lies and misinformation about vaccines or in any other way systematically undermining the public trust in vaccines without producing credible evidence for their claims, is an antivaxxer, period.

        JFK Jr. is absolutely an antivaxxer, as is RG, no matter how much they keep lying that they “are not antivaccine”. And, of course, they don’t get to choose the definition of ‘antivaxxer’, just like convicted criminals such as Trump don’t get to choose the definition of ‘crime’.

    • You are committing libel.

      RG, something has to be untrue to be libellous.

      RFK, like you, is antivax to his marrow. You may try to deny this but if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it is a duck even if it claims to be a chicken.

  • You underestimate the problem we all face that goes back to at least the 1980s:
    https://www.amazon.com/Real-Anthony-Fauci-Pharma-Democracy/dp/B09LVYYTJJ/

    That has:
    4.8 out of 5 stars, from 25,913 ratings

    And is:
    #59 in Audible Books & Originals (See Top 100 in Audible Books & Originals)
    #1 in Biological Sciences (Audible Books & Originals)
    #1 in Medical Ethics (Audible Books & Originals)
    #1 in Public Health (Audible Books & Originals)

    All assertions in his books are referenced. He is meticulous like that, being a lawyer. Faucci can prosecute for defamation anytime he likes, but he never will, why? Because he knows he will lose.

  • Even those of us who know Trump isn’t ‘Hitler’ know RFK is a crank

    • Both these men are defending your right to say that.

      • @Old Bob

        Both these men are defending your right to say that.

        You are a lying ignoranus, as usual.

        Trump does NOT defend people’s right to criticise him. Quite the contrary: like the fascist a**hole that he is, he does not tolerate criticism at all, and has threatened both civil protesters as well as the free press with violent rhetoric on more than one occasion. He has also denied journalists and media he didn’t like access to public(!) press conferences during his first term.

        As for his second term, he has repeatedly threatened to ‘go after’ news media, which he consistently calls ‘enemies of the people’ (another barely veiled fascist dog whistle). We already had a little taste when he filed a lawsuit against CBS, seeking 10 billion dollars in damages. Why? Because CBS had the audacity to do some editing in broadcasting their interview with Kamala Harris – something that is completely normal in journalism, and happens routinely in every interview. (Also note that the hypocrite declined to do the same 60 Minutes interview beforehand.)
        When in power, he wants to enact laws forcing journalists to give up their sources to the justice system, or else face prison time. And oh, news media that are critical of him will be ‘investigated’ and may lose their license. Among other things. So no, Trump does not defend the right of people to free speech AT ALL. He wants to punish, silence and censor anyone who says things about him that he doesn’t like.

        As a result, a significant proportion of journalists now report being threatened or intimidated when simply doing their job, especially when covering news about Trump or the republican party.

        • The right to free speech applies to Trump too. He can say what he likes and refuse to engage anyone he chooses. If he gets sued, that’s his choice. It is *not* the job of the government to censor free speech, that’s tyranny.

          Does anyone listen to MSM anymore? Only a few losers. Most have moved to independents e.g. Rogan or Tucker or Bret Weinstein:
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zORW2uPR24w

          Because objectivity is inherently interesting because it is applicable, as opposed to propaganda’s “hate speech” – that’s just subjective lawfare (as is happening to the Daily Telegraph journalist right now).

      • Tell that to Herman Cain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Cain#Death and all those who got sick and died while remaining unvaccinated: https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/

  • A name being considered for new FDA Commissioner is Casey Means MD.
    I hope it happens, the libs will shit the bed, pee in their pants and cry me a river.

    Brind it on please
