Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said on CNBC yesterday that RFK Jr’s fall autism report will link aluminum to autism, sparking lawsuits and driving vaccine makers out of the market:

 

 

9:27:

"I think what he's setting up is to declare in his autism report in the fall that there's a link between aluminum and autism. I think that's where this is heading. If I was to make a prediction, if he does that, that will open the door to litigation under the vaccine injury compensation program and create a whole wave of lawsuits that I think will drive a lot of vaccine makers out of the market."

 

This is from the same person who tweeted in 2015 that "the purported link between autism and vaccines is one of the most carefully studied, and thoroughly debunked, clinical questions", so he is initially not on RFK's side at all. However, the above statement in that interview is very interesting, as it is an admission of reality as it exists. Lawsuits and companies driven out of the market aren't things that happen for no reason. The Overton window has undeniably shifted on this issue.

 

I am particularly interested in exchanging with the posters of this forum who consistently dismiss the link between vaccines and autism as "debunked", "pseudoscience", "conspiracy theory", "quackery", etc.

 

Do you really believe, in good conscience, that there isn't a remote possibility that there could be an ounce of truth behind this? That perhaps you were misguided?

 

History repeats itself in cycles: not that long ago, the reality of the Holocaust unfolding in Germany was ignored and downplayed for various reasons, by established media. This was covered in a book, Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper. Here is its description on Amazon:

 

An in-depth look at how The New York Times failed in its coverage of the fate of European Jews from 1939–45. It examines how the decisions that were made at The Times ultimately resulted in the minimizing and misunderstanding of modern history's worst genocide. Laurel Leff, a veteran journalist and professor of journalism, recounts how personal relationships at the newspaper, the assimilationist tendencies of The Times' Jewish owner, and the ethos of mid-century America, all led The Times to consistently downplay news of the Holocaust. It recalls how news of Hitler's 'final solution' was hidden from readers and - because of the newspaper's influence on other media - from America at large. Buried by The Times is required reading for anyone interested in America's response to the Holocaust and for anyone curious about how journalists determine what is newsworthy.

 

From a historical perspective, one consistently observable process is that nothing can stop the truth: no matter how powerfully repressed, the truth always comes out eventually. On which side of history will you be?

This guy is not telling the truth. There are are couple of times in the interview when his true colours show. ''The science is settled." Really! The science on this particular issue - adjuvants - is made up.

 

Still talking about ''contagious diseases.'' That has been kicked into touch.

 

For me; this guy looks smug and over-confident.

 

General comment: The skyscraper of modern medicine is founded on sand.

Indeed, he's a creature of the medical establishment, which is why it is so telling that he reluctantly admits that lawsuits are coming and that the vaccine makers are toast.
