Senator #RonWyden, Democrat of Oregon & the top Democrat on the panel, goes directly at #RFKJr in his opening remarks. The question, he said, is “whether Robert F. Kennedy should be trusted with the health & well-being of the American people.” He said Kennedy has embraced “#ConspiracyTheories, #quacks, #charlatans,” saying that is especially true concerning the safety & efficacy of #vaccines.

Previously it seemed like an unfair stereotype? But over the past few years I've seen some measurable behaviours (e.g. use of effective vs ineffective #COVID treatments) that indicate a misunderstanding about the world that's more widespread in the #USA than in #Australia #Aotearoa #WesternEurope and probably a lot of #EastAsia

Did you know people went blind after years of treatment with a drug, after years of that implant, heart problems after years of taking a specific medicines. Even something as basic as #GMSoy and #GMCanola, it took years for them to admit it was #carinogenic.
Those who rang alarm bells were labelled #quacks and #conspiracyTheorists.
There's such a thing as the #revolvingDoor — many kill for cash.
It takes years to prove any medication as safe.
