RFK Jr.’s poll numbers turn sour as he targets vaccines

"The Trump administration and Republicans have launched headlong into a broad overhaul of the American vaccine system – despite it being an overhaul that very few Americans seem to actually want. And there are increasing signs that it’s taken a political toll on the man behind it: US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

 

Recent polling now shows Kennedy’s numbers are significantly underwater for his performance so far. And perhaps more significantly, very few Americans seem to have strongly favorable feelings toward him or trust him on vaccines. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll released Friday showed Americans disapproved of Kennedy’s job performance 55%-42%. 

 

Political independents were even more negative, disapproving 61-34%. And even 21% of Republicans disapproved. The poll also showed 38% of US adults strongly disapproved of Kennedy, compared to just 15% who strongly approved. So, strongly negative views more than doubled strongly positive ones. [emphasis added]

..

The CBS poll showed 70% of Americans said the US government’s policy should be to encourage parents to vaccinate their children “for diseases like measles, mumps, and rubella.” ... And about 80% of parents in a September KFF poll said public schools should require students to get the measles and polio vaccines, with some exceptions.

No, it should pursue forward thinking approaches to medicine, like mRNA vaccines just as one example, that have the potential to protect people from diseases and lead healthier, longer lives.

 

Nobel Prize Awarded for Research Leading to mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines

October 31, 2023

 

"Earlier this month, the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Drew Weissman, M.D., Ph.D., and Katalin Karikó, Ph.D., for their groundbreaking, decades-long work on messenger RNA (mRNA) that enabled the unprecedented rapid development of the mRNA vaccines that stemmed the COVID-19 pandemic.

...

In announcing the award, the Nobel Prize Assembly cited Dr. Weissman and Dr. Karikó for their “groundbreaking findings, which have fundamentally changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system,” and added, “the laureates contributed to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times.” [emphasis added]

 

In his congratulations of the two Nobel winners, acting NIH Director Larry Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., said, “While the lifesaving benefits of mRNA vaccines are now clearly realized, Karikó and Weissman’s breakthrough finding in 2005 was not fully appreciated at the time as to why it would be significant. However, their dogged dedication to gaining a better understanding of how RNA interacts with the immune system underscores the often-underappreciated importance of incremental research. Following where the science leads through step-by-step investigations often doesn’t appear to be flashy, but it can end up leading to major advances.”

Kary Mullis won Nobel prize for RNA polymerase chain reaction. He was from the start at the beginning of the scamdemic adamantly against both the vaccines and especially the PCR DNA technology that he developed and won the Nobel prize for. 

 

He was always insistant PCR DNA tests were ridiculous at face value but in the manner in which they were used they were even more divergent

 

He died suddenly, a very mysterious death not so long ago.

Kary Mullis

"Kary Banks Mullis (December 28, 1944 – August 7, 2019) was an American biochemist. In recognition of his role in the invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, he shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Michael Smith[2] and was awarded the Japan Prize in the same year.

...

Mullis downplayed humans' role in climate change, expressed doubt that HIV is the cause of AIDS,[4][5][6] and professed a belief in astrology and the paranormal.[7][8] He also practiced clandestine chemistry by producing LSD. Mullis's unscientific statements about topics outside his area of expertise have been named by Skeptical Inquirer as an instance of "Nobel disease".[7]

...

Mullis died on August 7, 2019, at his home in Newport Beach, California,[5][60] from complications of pneumonia.[5][18][61]

KFF is the leading health policy organization in the U.S.

"As a one-of-a-kind information organization, we bring together substantial capabilities in policy research, polling, and journalism in one organization to meet the need for a trusted, independent source of information on national health issues—one with the scope and reach to be a counterweight to health care’s vested interests and a voice for people.

 

We are headquartered in San Francisco with a building in Washington, DC, conference centers in both offices, and staff members in almost every state. Dr. Drew Altman, KFF’s president and chief executive officer, founded the modern-day organization in 1991. You can read more about the organization’s history, mission, focus, and key programs in a president’s message by Dr. Altman.

...

The organization was formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation but since KFF is not a foundation and has no connection to Kaiser Permanente, we are now called simply KFF. Legally, we are a public charity (an endowed national nonprofit organization). Learn more about KFF’s history."

Russia introduces Enteromix, a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine showing up to 80% tumor reduction and improved survival in initial trials.

  • Enteromix achieved up to 80 percent tumor reduction in early trials
  • The vaccine uses mRNA technology to train the immune system without harmful side effects
  • Russian government will offer the vaccine free after official approval

Leave it to those crazy commies!  Developing a "vaccine" for an imaginary "disease"  because as we all know, cancer is only a theory.

 

Me and RFK and his brain worms will rely on crystal healing, mediation, spirit whispering and rolfing to fix our theoretical "cancers."

And of course, you cite RFK Jr., a disreputable anti-vaxer who's track record of misinformation and falsehoods earned him the dubious recognition as one of the "Disinformation Dozen" -- a group of the worst, most prolific COVID misinformers on the internet.

 

Just 12 People Are Behind Most Vaccine Hoaxes On Social Media, Research Shows

Updated May 14, 2021
 

"Researchers have found just 12 people are responsible for the bulk of the misleading claims and outright lies about COVID-19 vaccines that proliferate on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

 

"The 'Disinformation Dozen' produce 65% of the shares of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms," said Imran Ahmed, chief executive officer of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which identified the accounts.

...

Take anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of the "Disinformation Dozen" identified by the center, who has promoted the long discredited idea that vaccines are linked to autism. During the pandemic, he has shared baseless conspiracy theories linking 5G cellular networks to the coronavirus, and suggested, without evidence, that the death of baseball great Hank Aaron was "part of a wave of suspicious deaths" tied to vaccines.

 

None of that is true."

 

https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996570855/disinformation-dozen-test-facebooks-twitters-ability-to-curb-vaccine-hoaxes

 

It's just sad that there are other people out there on the internet who appear to be trying to join the same "Disinformation" list along with Kennedy.

Your disinformation nonsense has already been shredded in yesterday''s long thread:

I like what RFK Jr us doing. Robert Malone and all the anti vax doctors that have been brought into government. Alex Berenson good on covid. Matt Taiibi. Brownstone institute has done some good reporting on covid. Judicial Watch. Substack bloggers for truth is where to look

 

The thing to remember is to absolutely reject anything and all narratives pushed by MSM and mainstream medicine. It's all entirely compromised by big pharma, big medicine. If you don't believe that go to DDG not even Google because we know that's totally compromised. Do an *anti vax* search. Are you okay with pro vaccine nonsense bc they will be the same dozen or so websites that pop up. You can scroll for an hour and it will be the same <deleted>. The internet is totally and thoroughly compromised. 

 

In the future they're probably will be no way to fight this. For now bloggers on substack.

 

There are a concerted group of individuals on this board posting and supporting disinformation. This board long compromised before even COVID. It used to be a supportive network of real men in search of real men answers. It's become a pathetic, weak version of reddit full of disinformation trolls. The board lost all of my respect with it's tacit lifting of homosexuals and trannies placing them above this boards core readers and constituents. Remember pronouns? 

 

The only upshot here is the West has sorted itself out with no help from the people posting on this forum. moreover, many of the issues that are relentlessly debated here have no relevancy in Thailand 

 

From here was just a downhill slide into ranking oblivion. It now exists soley to generate clicks and ad revenue - hence the political soapbox shi*post subforum. Many subforums haven't been visited in months and a few in years. 

 

When I think back to how helpful and informative the board was in 97 or whenever I first joined and the what it's become it just makes me shake my head. Much money has been lost to clueless management a d rightly so. 

 

I have this feeling and have for years that most of the posters do not even live in Thailand which makes the board superfluous.

 

The only way to really clean it up is to kill off all of the bad actors, bots and close all of the subforms it do not deal directly with Thailand or ASEAN

 

Let it die a death well deserved

Hate? It's a leftist term tossed about so frequently like racism and antisemitism it's lost all meaning

 

Anything this poster is against I am 100% in favor of.

 

For discerning readers this is typical of the BS this poster tosses up.

 

This is not an information website. It's a highly opinionated activist website

 

I encourage everyone to disregard all this posters disinformation.

 

Here is the story behind THIS link. Every other link has a similar story - but this one is dead on.

 

https://bostontimes.org/2024/10/23/dark-money-dark-agenda-exposing-the-center-for-countering-digital-hate/

 

Here's what readers need to know. 

 

CCDH is a United Kingdom-based nonprofit that has been encouraging censorship online for years. It originates from and is staffed with many individuals in the United Kingdom. However, it has been incorporated in the United States and registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States, effective as of December 11, 2020. 

 

Look at this hate from the website against white males

As far as I can see, there is NO credible or actual newspaper called the "Boston Times." Just some AI generated website that seems inordinately preoccupied with Trump, Russia and Ukraine. And not surprisingly, nothing about Boston at all!!  :hit-the-fan:

 

And when you go to the "About" section of that website, you get this:

 

https://bostontimes.org/about-2/

 

"Arutrum eu, convallis sit amet lacus. Duis enim velit, congue a semper a, hendrerit eget orci. Nulla massa nibh, condimentum eget sollicitudin vel, ornare a erat. Curabitur tincidunt tellus ac dui pellentesque luctus. Etiam ut aliquam augue, quis laoreet mauris. Morbi eu scelerisque orci. Proin viverra elementum est at blandit. Quisque cursus et ipsum non fringilla. Nullam justo nisi, vestibulum sit amet nunc vitae, congue sollicitudin urna. Curabitur ac arcu sem. Aliquam ultrices, lectus et placerat viverra, nisl lorem sagittis nibh, et commodo lectus lectus porta eros. Aenean augue ligula, hendrerit id varius a, ultrices sed eros."

 

And a "Contact" page that lists this:

 

"Arutrum eu, convallis sit amet lacus. Duis enim velit, congue a semper a, hendrerit eget orci. Nulla massa nibh, condimentum eget sollicitudin vel, ornare a erat. Quisque venenatis pharetra dolor, at dictum turpis ornare id. Suspendisse vulputate finibus aliquet. Proin et viverra nulla. Mauris consequat gravida."
