Let’s Be Clear: Bob Kennedy Is A Shameless And Dangerous Liar

This post was originally published on this site

I don’t know why he lies (financial self-interest? Currying favor with Trump? Eugenicist?). But yes, he’s a liar. Expect tragic consequences! Even better, call or write your senators and ask why they’re letting someone who isn’t even a doctor make such stupid decisions for the rest of us. Via the Washington Post:

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that his agency would no longer recommend the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and healthy children — an unprecedented move that bypasses the traditional system of vaccine advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In a 58-second video posted on X, Kennedy said the vaccine had been removed from the CDC’s immunization schedule for those two groups of people.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today the covid vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule,” Kennedy said. “Last year the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another covid shot despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children.”

[…] CDC officials were not informed in advance of Kennedy’s decision, according to a former agency official who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

That shameless piece of crap, who has convinced so many women of his conspiracy theories.. Here are just some of the studies and statements refuting the lies he tells about covid vaccines and pregnancy:

Study Finds No Association Between COVID-19 Vaccines and Stillbirths

ACOG Statement on HHS Recommendations Regarding the COVID Vaccine During Pregnancy

Physician hesitancy to recommend COVID‐19 vaccination in pregnancy as a cause of maternal deaths ‐ Robert Brent was prescient

Neonatal Outcomes After COVID-19 Vaccination in Pregnancy

Large, real world, multistate study finds COVID-19 vaccine cuts risk of disease in half when administered during pregnancy

COVID-19 starkly increases pregnancy complications, including stillbirths, among the unvaccinated, Scottish study shows

And so on.

Today RFK and co. removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule for children and pregnant people.

This is junk science. COVID puts children and pregnant people at higher risk for ER visits and hospitalizations, and Long COVID can cause chronic health issues for anyone.
