RFK, Jr. and the CDC

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is scheduled to testify before a Congressional committee tomorrow regarding the termination of the recently appointed CDC Director and the subsequent resignations of several high ranking CDC officials.

CDC Director Susan Monarez was ousted by President Trump less than one month after being confirmed by the Senate because she was "not aligned with his mission".

What is the mission of Trump and RFK involving the CDC?

They want to refocus the efforts of the CDC on Making America Healthy Again and to eliminate the increased politization of the agency that has taken place over the years.

It has been reported that Monarez was not willing to terminate individuals within the agency that RFK believed were not aligned with that mission.

She also attempted to go behind RFK's back to complain to Senator Bill Cassidy who was the biggest supporter of Monarez in the confirmation process.

The upcoming report that RFK is planning to release later this month on what is causing the shocking increases in autism over the last several decades may also be part of all of this. .

The argument that is used most often to explain this is that autism is better identified and diagnosed today than it was 50 years ago.

That may partially explain the increase but how could it be the only reason?

If you are over the age of 50 how many autistic kids did you know growing up?

Today it seems everyone knows someone that has some type of autism.

Is it due to some environmental cause?

Is it possible that the massive increase in childhood vaccines since the 1980's has played a role?

RFK, Jr. was well known for raising questions about the safety and efficacy of vaccines before he took the HHS position.

The CDC has long claimed that vaccines are absolutely safe and effective and has worked to shut down any dissenting voices on the subject.

They continue to defend giving the Hepatitis B vaccine to all new born babies even though Hep B can only be contracted by sharing drug needles, unprotected sex or a mother who is infected.

Why subject millions of babies to the vaccine universally when it could be limited to those babies with infected mothers which is easy to test for. 

One of the CDC executives who resigned last week was this man, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who oversaw its vaccine section.

This is how the good doctor spends some of his free time.

In his resignation letter he referred to "pregnant people" and stated his pronouns were (he, his, him) while at the same time making this statement in his letter.

Their desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults.  Their base should be the people they serve not a political voting bloc.

It seems that Dr. Daskalakis has his own agenda and is trying to please his own political base and voting bloc rather than solely being focused on public health.

He also is worried about future deaths and disabilities of vulnerable children and adults due to any changes in vaccine policy but he ignores what has already happened under the CDC's watch over the last five years.

Excess deaths in the United State continued even after the Covid pandemic was over.

One study found that the United States had 1.5 million excess deaths beyond what it should have been  compared to other peer countries in 2022 and 2023.

You also have the shocking data that I wrote about recently in these pages concerning the additional 7 million more people that have been classified as having a disability in the United States over the last five years.

This doctor is worried about future policy changes while ignoring the fact that the CDC made dubious decisions time after time during Covid.

I wrote about many of these at the time.

For example, the CDC  totally ignored a planning guidance and strategy document they had produced as far back as 2007 on what the responses should be if we found ourselves in a pandemic influenza situation. 

That plan did not recommend social distancing, masking or lengthy school closings or business closures.

The CDC had toddlers and others wearing masks even though all studies indicated cloth masks would have no utility against transmission of a respiratory virus like Covid.

They closed schools for two years based on the strong influence of the teacher's unions and set back the education and socialization of millions of children in the process.

The only mitigation measure that was definitely recommended in the CDC plan for a Category 2 or 3 pandemic like Covid was the "voluntary isolation" of the ill at home.

In fact, never in human history has there ever been a pandemic in which the healthy were told to quarantine. Not once.

Why was it done with Covid?

They mandated all adults and children get the Covid vaccine or be fired from their jobs or kicked out of school.

They mandated the vaccine even if someone had previously had Covid and showed natural antibodies against the virus.

It is hard to argue that the CDC and the public health people establishment did not cause greater damage to mankind in its response to Covid than anyone else has ever done in human history short of causing a World War.

Why did any of the senior leadership at CDC  still have a job to begin with before RFK took control at HHS?

Based on the past record of the CDC on its response to Covid alone, RFK is well within his rights to demand changes in how the CDC is managed and its blind faith in all vaccines.

Are vaccines a cause of autism?

I don't know but vaccines certainly deserve more scrutiny than the CDC has been willing to put them under.

The CDC and the medical establishment want to paint RFK as an insane wacko on the subject.

They argue that there is no evidence that vaccines are not safe and effective.

They dismiss any link to autism.

They tell us it is all settled SCIENCE and it is foolish and dangerous to question vaccines.

However, in the history of medicine there are numerous examples where the consensus of the medical establishment was DEAD wrong. And the arrogance of being closed minded caused many deaths.

For centuries the consensus of medical scientists was that blood letting was the best method to cure illness.

In fact, George Washington who had contracted a throat infection may have actually died from anemia in 1799 after doctors performed four blood lettings within 12 hours which reduced his volume of blood by 40%.

Blood letting was generally accepted as the best method for centuries to treat diseases until the late 19th century when is was finally rejected as quackery. 

In the mid-19th century Hungarian doctor Ignaz Semmelweis concluded that puerperal fever, that caused as many as 10% of mothers in that era to die shortly after giving birth, was caused by doctors who did not wash their hands before giving delivery.

He instituted strict antiseptic procedures for doctors and nurses during delivery and incidences of what was also referred to as childbed fever dropped to almost nothing.

Despite the evidence, the conclusions of Semmelweis were rejected by the medical community. He lost his job at the hospital he worked at. He continued to try to convince others of the necessity of hand washing but no one would listen to him. A major reason was that other doctors did not want to admit that if Semmelweis was right they were the ones actually killing their patients.

The continuing rejection of his hypothesis eventually made Semmelweis angrier and angrier and he took on strange behaviors. He was admitted to a mental asylum in 1865 and died there at age 47. 

He never lived to see that he was proven right.

As recently as 40 years ago the accepted medical consensus was that peptic ulcers were caused by stress and lifestyle. We now know it is caused by bacteria.

This all resulted from the work of Dr. Barry Marshall who turned centuries of medical consensus on its head through his research at Royal Perth Hospital in Australia. 

Marshall's initial conclusions were also greeted with skepticism but gained traction much quicker than that of Dr. Semmelweis.

Within a decade it was generally accepted that peptic ulcers were caused by the helicobacter pylori bacillus.

Marshall was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 2005 for his discovery.

I could go on and on. In fact, in most cases like these, the consensus of scientists was proven wrong by one person who did not believe the consensus and proved it wrong.

Keep all of this in mind as you see reports about RFK and the CDC in the mainstream media.

You can be sure that the medical establishment and Big Pharma are going to doing everything it can to diminish and demonize RFK.

However, in a Harvard-Harris poll last month, RFK actually had the highest favorable rating of any political figure that was tested.

That might be an indication that the American people are interested in someone raising questions about the vaccines and challenging the medical establishment.

RFK may be wrong about his skepticism regarding the vaccines and the CDC.

However, what if he is right?

What is so wrong about increased transparency and scrutiny of the CDC, vaccine policy and Big Pharma?

Sunlight has always been a natural disinfectant.

More light needs to be shined on the CDC and Big Pharma.

What is so threatening about analyzing and following the facts rather than the narrative?

RFK is right to do it.
