So, RFK Jr. came out last night and the primary mainstream headline is that the stated “Biden is a greater threat to the Democracy than Trump” — but there’s way more to that statement than they’ve admitted or covered.
Naturally, his statement has been a big hit on Right-wing media - but, as usual for that flock, it’s a crock.
RFK is making the claim that the Biden Administration established a coordinated effort — using several agencies — to block his criticism of the Covid Vaccine on Twitter.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won a preliminary injunction against the White House and other federal defendants in his suit alleging government censorship of his statements against vaccines on social media.
The injunction, however, will be stayed until the US Supreme Court rules in a related case brought by Missouri and Louisiana.
An injunction is warranted because Kennedy showed he is likely to succeed on the merits of his claims, Judge Terry A. Doughty of the US District Court for the Western District of Louisiana said Wednesday.
The White House defendants, the Surgeon General defendants, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defendants, the Federal Bureau of Investigation defendants, and the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency defendants likely violated the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment, Doughty said.
Kennedy’s class action complaint, brought with health care professional Connie Sampognaro and Kennedy’s nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense, alleges that the federal government, beginning in early 2020, began a campaign to induce Facebook, Google (YouTube), and X, formerly known as Twitter, to censor constitutionally protected speech.
Specifically, Kennedy said, the government suppressed “facts and opinions about the COVID vaccines that might lead people to become ‘hesitant’ about COVID vaccine mandates.”
Ok, hold on — wait, what was that middle part there?
“beginning in early 2020,”
Um — [checks calender] — exactly who was the White House resident in “early 2020?”
Could it have been — this guy?
So what’s he accusing the Biden Administration of doing again?
Kennedy has sufficiently shown that these defendants “jointly participated in the actions of the social media” platforms “by “‘insinuating’ themselves into the social-media companies’ private affairs and blurring the line between public and private action,” Doughty said.
And Kennedy and his co-plaintiffs “demonstrated a likely ‘injury from the impending action, that the injury is imminent, and that money damages would not fully repair the harm,’” he said, citing a 1986 Fifth Circuit ruling.
[...]
The injunction bars the named federal defendants from taking “actions, formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies to remove, delete, suppress or reduce, including through altering their algorithms, posted social-media content containing protected free speech.”
Yeah, but what if the plaintiffs — in using their free speech — are spreading lies? Dangerous lies that can get people killed due to a deadly pandemic?
In an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt, Kennedy, an avid opponent of Covid-19 vaccines and public health policies that were intended to reduce the spread of the virus pushed back on the notion that his previous remarks about Covid-19 that mentioned Jewish ancestry and history were antisemitic.
Asked about his comments from July in which he said Covid-19 was “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people, Kennedy acknowledged that some people could be “disturbed” by the comments. But he said he believed “they certainly weren’t antisemitic.”
“I wish I hadn’t said them, you know. What I said was true,” he said. “The only reason I wouldn’t talk publicly about this … is that I know that there’s people out there who are antisemitic and can misuse any information.”
Covid-19 was “ethnically targeted?” I'm generally against censorship — but this is literally screaming “FIRE” in a crowded theatre full of people who are already panicked out of their minds.
Kennedy also defended his comments from 2022 in which he compared the Covid lockdowns to Nazi Germany, arguing that “even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland.” At the time, Kennedy’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, condemned his remarks as “reprehensible and insensitive.” Kennedy said his wife was wrong to criticize the comments and blamed the media for taking his remarks out of context.
Say what now?
And...
Kennedy rejected the label that he’s “anti-vaccine” despite his long history of spreading misinformation about the efficacy of vaccines. When presented with a prior interview in which he said that “there is no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective,” Kennedy argued that his comments were meant to advocate greater research of vaccines while conceding that his previous remark was “a bad use of words.”
“I can say right now there is no medicine for cancer that’s safe and effective. It doesn’t mean I’m against all medicines. I’ve been fighting for two years to get mercury out of fish. Nobody calls me anti-fish,” Kennedy said.
Excuse me?
“No vaccine is safe? No medicine for cancer is safe and effective?”
In this video, Daniel Dale points out that some of the things that Kennedy claims he has "free speech” to state are that the 1919 Spanish Flu outbreak was actually caused by vaccine research and that it actually “wasn't a pandemic" at all. He’s also said that “HIV originated from a vaccine program” and more.
A lot of people decided to believe a lot of kooky things about Covid and the vaccines. One of them was that Ivermectin was a good treatment. It was not.
In order to get Ivermectin to stop the replication of Sars-cov-2 in your system — you’d have to take 100 times the recommended dose. That can’t possibly be good for your system. Or your life.
You think the CDC might have a problem with people saying this shit? I think they would considering the fact some states — like Florida — are now having outbreaks of Measles.
In mid-February, a measles outbreak started at the Manatee Bay Elementary School in Broward County in South Florida. There are now at least nine cases in the county and one additional one in Polk County in Central Florida.
Several public health researchers say Florida's current response to the outbreak goes against well-established public health guidance. Florida's surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, has so far not urged parents of unvaccinated children at the school with the outbreak to get their children vaccinated, or to quarantine them. In a Feb. 20 letter, Ladapo left it up to parents to decide whether to send their kids to school.
"I'm flummoxed about this," says Dr. Ali Khan, dean of public health at the University of Nebraska. "I've never heard of a surgeon general who didn't at least advocate for best public health practice."
Yeah, and maybe we shouldn’t be listening to an Environmental Lawyer about it either.
You wanna know why they might wanna suppress people being “hesitant about Covid vaccine mandates?”
Because 233,000 American deaths could have been prevented, if not for “vaccine hesitancy.”
While some studies have previously estimated lives saved by COVID-19 vaccination, we estimate how many deaths could have been averted by vaccination in the US but were not because of a failure to vaccinate. We used a simple method based on a nationally representative dataset to estimate the preventable deaths among unvaccinated individuals in the US from May 30, 2021 to September 3, 2022 adjusted for the effects of age and time. We estimated that at least 232,000 deaths could have been prevented among unvaccinated adults during the 15 months had they been vaccinated with at least a primary series. While uncertainties exist regarding the exact number of preventable deaths and more granular data are needed on other factors causing differences in death rates between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups to inform these estimates, this method is a rapid assessment on vaccine-preventable deaths due to SARS-CoV-2 that has crucial public health implications. The same rapid method can be used for future public health emergencies.
Almost a quarter of Million Americans died needlessly because they were “vaccine-hesitant.” And RFK jr. was helping feed that problem and delusion.
Now, some people have since complained of heart problems after taking the vaccine, but there is little evidence that Pfizer vaccine contributed to that. There is, however, some indication that the Moderna vaccine contributed to mostly mild cases of Myocarditis in younger patients.
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle and pericarditis is inflammation of the lining outside the heart; myopericarditis is when both myocarditis and pericarditis occur at the same time. In these conditions, inflammation occurs in response to an infection or some other trigger. CDC has published case definitions for myocarditis and pericarditis.
Though cases of myocarditis and pericarditis are rare, when cases have occurred, they have most frequently been seen in adolescent and young adult males within 7 days after receiving the second dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine; however, cases have also been observed in females, in other age groups, and after other doses.
The severity of myocarditis and pericarditis cases can vary; most patients with myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination have experienced resolution of symptoms by hospital discharge. CDC has published studies with clinical information about myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination.
This information was not suppressed by the CDC, I just quoted that from their website.
Additionally, there are even more rare cases of of very severe myocarditis in young patients which have been longer lasting — and a very few deaths have occurred.
Myocarditis was more frequently detected after immunization with mRNA vaccines in individuals younger than 40 years of age [71,76]. In a study that included more than 38 million participants, 3576 cases of myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias that led to hospitalization or death were detected [71,77]. The first dose of BNT162b2 caused one extra myocarditis event per one million people 1–28 days postvaccination.
If RFK had been honestly discussing an issue such as this, and arguing that younger people — who were less susceptible to Covid-19 — might want to have their parents take a second look at being vaccinated in order to balance the risks to them from that disease versus the risk of contracting severe myocarditis — that would be one thing.
But saying “no vaccine is safe” or that Covid-19 is “engineered not to have an effect on someone Chinese or Ashkenazi Jews” — is not that.
Ok, so that’s one problem — then there’s the rest of the shit he said.
Lord Have Mercy.
