“I’m going to litigate against you under the racketeering laws, under the general tort laws. I’m going to find a way to sue you unless you come up with a plan right now to show how you’re going to start publishing real science,”#RFKJr said.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, #Trump’s new director of #NIH, has vigorously criticized the leadership of scientific journals. Recently he co-founded a new journal as an alternative to traditional scientific publishing. It has published contrarian views on #Covid.

#RFKJr, #Trump’s *#health* secy, singled out #NEJM in an interview w/the “Dr. Hyman Show” podcast last year as an example of a #medical journal that has participated in “lying to the public” & “retracting the real science.”

Andrew Nixon, a spox for the #HHS, declined to comment on whether RFKJr had any involvement w/the letters.

In the interview, RFKJr said he would seek to prosecute medical journals under federal anti-corruption laws.

My Body, My Choice?

Well, yes, of course, but consider this: without a 5% increase in measles vaccine uptake, measles could once again become endemic in the U.S., while a 10% decline in vaccination rates could result in over 11 million measles cases and over 150,000 deaths per year.

And this is not just among the knuckleheads who choose not to vaccinate themselves and their children. Low vaccination rates eliminate the herd immunity that protects vulnerable people with impaired immunity like seniors, people with immunological illnesses, people with cancer, and all infants under the age of 12 months, as well as the 3% of healthy vaccinated individuals that the vaccine fails to protect.

CIDRAP'On the precipice of disaster': Measles may be endemic in 25 years if vaccine uptake stays low, model predicts

I listened to this podcast (youtu.be/EErAC4HBgyg) so you don't have to.

Here's the short version:

RFK Jr. is a staunch believer in the theories of Antoine Bechamp.

Who is Antoine Bechamp? Basically Louis Pasteur's nemesis.

Pasteur's “Germ Theory" is the foundation of modern medicine.

Bechamp's "terrain of the body" theory posits that the reason one gets sick is that the body was already in a bad state, which allowed the illness to take hold.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is being run by a guy who doesn't believe in Germ Theory. 🤦‍♂️

"Last week, Gildebrand said he met with Kennedy, who insisted, “‘You don’t know what’s in the vaccine anymore,‘” Hildebrand told Yahoo! News just hours after the girl’s funeral. “I actually asked him about it.”

“He never said anything about the vaccine being helpful,” Hildebrand added."

I might add:
We #ActuallyAutistic do not just have to be worried about the government itself enacting violence against us, but also radical individuals emboldened to enact violence against us by #RFKJr hate speech and vocal misunderstandings of us.

There have always been those fringe people that hate autists vocally online - trolls - and those are the kinds of non-governmental threats that may be emboldened to violence by an asshat in power like #Rfk_jr

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness.

Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military.

Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc.

“You do you” doesn’t work when it comes to public health. People in privilege don’t want us to realize that because we might demand more from government.

The MAHA movement seems intent on rolling back progress on every public health win in the last 50 years.

Vaccines, abortion access, reproductive rights, ecoli & salmonella monitoring, food safety regulations… the list goes on

There’s a reason the average life expectancy used to be so much lower.

“This is the type of guy with a crank #eugenics understanding of science, conspiracy theories, a person who is so enamored by his own alleged brilliance… who is in charge of our health and human services saying such deeply offensive things against the #autistic community.”
