    “This is not a disagreement grounded in evidence. It is not a conversation between two people weighing risks and benefits. It is a wall — thick, immovable, and rapidly rising.” /2

  6. You've Been Lied to About #CharlieKirk

    From pushing #racist #conspiracytheories and #antivaccine #propaganda to attacking #LGBTQ+ rights, #womensrights, #immigrants, and #democracy itself, Kirk built his career on spreading #division and #misinformation.

    Meanwhile, the same leaders who ignored hundreds of #schoolshootings now lower the flag for Kirk, elevating him to the level of a hero.

  12. #Congress in 1986 mandated its creation as part of legislation to address childhood #vaccine safety. The Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines was disbanded in 1998 & released a report that year recommending an expansion of research on vaccine safety & surveillance of injuries.
    
Children’s Health Defense, an #AntiVaccine group founded by #RFKJr, funded a lawsuit filed against Kennedy in May, seeking to compel him to reconvene the task force & submit reports to Congress every 2 years.

  13. #AntiVaccine activists funded a May lawsuit to reconvene the defunct Task Force on Safer Childhood #Vaccines & scrutinize the childhood #immunization schedule.

    The resurrection of the panel appears to be the first concrete step to achieve #HHS Secretary #RFKJr’s longtime goal of upending the current childhood immunization schedule, which recommends which shots #children receive & when.

  15. Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for #Vaccine Recommendations Backed by #Science
    But for as long as #vaccines have existed, people have opposed them, and in recent years the #antivaccine movement has gained visibility and power.
    As a public resource, Scientific American has created graphics outlining the vaccines recommended by #ACIP as of its final meeting in 2024.

  16. Over the next century, #vaccines virtually wiped out long-feared scourges like #polio & #measles & drastically reduced the toll of many others. Today, however, some preventable, #ContagiousDiseases are making a comeback as #VaccineHesitancy pushes #immunization rates down. And well-established vaccines are facing suspicion even from *public officials*, w/ #RFKJr, a longtime #AntiVaccine activist, running the federal #health dept, #HHS.

    The vaccine panel’s agenda includes some topics that are closely associated with the anti-vaccine movement.

  18. As the 1st day of the 2-day meeting continued, fmr #CDC ofcls said they were shocked by #LynRedwood’s appointment. Redwood is scheduled to give a presentation Thurs on thimerosal, a preservative used in some #influenza #vaccines. The #AntiVaccine movement claims its presence is linked to #autism, a suggestion that has been repeatedly #debunked. Before the meeting, the CDC had posted a doc saying that thimerosal was safe. That doc has been taken down from the #ACIP website.

  19. Before the meeting began, #CDC staff who work on #vaccine safety were informed that #RFKJr had appointed #LynRedwood, a fmr leader of the #AntiVaccine group *Children’s Health Defense* that Kennedy founded, to join the office, acc/to one federal #health official & 3 former health officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation [from the vengeful admin].

  20. #RFKJr, who founded an #AntiVaccine group, has long called for an investigation into the number of #vaccinations #children receive. Medical #experts say that Kennedy has falsely linked that increase to a rise of chronic disease, noting that more #vaccines are available now to combat #diseases & that his link has no basis in #evidence. Medical experts & the federal govt recommend the #HepatitisB #vaccine, because it prevents the #LiverDisease, which can be passed along at #birth.

  21. The meeting has become increasingly controversial after *#Health* Secretary #RFKJr just weeks ago abruptly fired all previous 17 members of the expert panel & named 8 new members, half of whom have advocated against #vaccines.

    Kennedy, a long-time #AntiVaccine activist, founded the Children's Health Defense.

  22. The report, called "Thimerosal as a Vaccine Preservative" published on the #CDC website on Tues, is to be presented by Lyn Redwood, a fmr leader of the #AntiVaccine group Children's Health Defense.

    It makes reference to a study called "Low-level neonatal thimerosal exposure: Long-term consequences in the brain," published in the journal Neurotoxicology in 2008, & co-authored by UC Davis Professor Emeritus Robert Berman.

  23. "As federal lawmakers prepare to decide [tomoorow 29 January] whether #AntiVaccine advocate #RobertFKennedyJr should be the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services #DHHS, pediatricians from around the country are making emotional pleas to protect and support lifesaving immunizations."

  24. Another expensive court loss for #antivaccine mandate lawyer #FAFO | National Post nationalpost.com/news/canada/a “Two courts in B.C. and two federal courts had already quashed similar #Galati lawsuits, noted Justice Markus Koehnen in a strongly worded decision released last month.

    The statement of claim “is so outlandish and so far outside of the spectrum of what is reasonable that there is no legitimate public interest in its pursuit,” Koehnen wrote. (1/3)

  27. As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record actually shows.

  28. The Wieambilla #queenslandshooting has shown that #antivax sentiment can lead to further radicalisation and #violence. It is also important to note that many #mentalhealth diagnoses can include symptoms of persecution (which is why antivax communities and individuals often subscribe to #antigovernment #conspiracytheories) I have taken a slightly different point of view and lay the blame at the feet of those who #profiteer from promoting #AntiVaccine views and other theories (widely debunked). They are carrying out for profit #psyops on citizens in free nations, mainly using #socialmedia to do it. Without #truth, we descend into #chaos kjwriteleft.com/anti-vaxxers-a

  29. "What if instead of a vaccine we were just able to get exposed to a weak version of the virus that enabled us to build the antibodies we need to fight the real thing.” 🤦‍♂️

  30. #RFKJr told the panel that he is not #AntiVaccine, saying all of his children are vaccinated. This was actually a point that his cousin, #CarolineKennedy, raised in her letter opposing his confirmation yesterday — she described him as a “#hypocrite” for vaccinating his children while at the same time profiting from amplifying fears about #vaccines in many parents.

    Sen #RonWyden entered Caroline Kennedy’s letter in its entirety into the record.

    "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spent the last two decades of his professional life using discredited, manipulated, and cherry-picked evidence to argue that life-saving vaccines are dangerous. Now Kennedy, part of the most famous family in American politics, is running for president”
