A Crisis of Credibility [Controversy over RFK Jr.'s work]

so you explain it.

are they not to stimulate the immune system with genetically engineered spike proteins?

and how does the immune system respond to things?

20 points.

I asked you why my age mattered. You launched into something you have no understanding of in order to impress me. I'm not. Because I know you don't know jack shit about mRNA vaccines other than what you got from whatever rightwing/conspiracy theory website you prefer.

does age always matter in health considerations?

the answer is yes.

now you explain how mRNA vaccines are not gene therapy and don;t involve spike proteins, the immune system or inflammation.

show your work.

You're preaching to the choir with me. I go way past the covid vaccines though- I don't believe that -any- vaccine is helpful, other than perhaps a placebo effect. But I know that view isn't popular, so I'm fine with just talking about the covid vaccines.
Well I think a.vaccine that prevents something is useful but I have no problem with people who dont believe in them. I don't ever get a flu shot because it's nothing but guess work. We have. I idea what's in those things.

LOL. I'm not claiming to understand mRNA vaccines. I don't have the training.

And I'm 100% certain you don't have the training either. You aren't a medical professional and you've likely never done any actual research in any official capacity in any area of the sciences.

As such I don't care about whatever you want to hold forth on the topic about because I'm (and hopefully everyone else) will just ignore it.

Hope your "smarter than the scientists" approach pans out for you. I suspect it's been a stunningly spectacular failure so far in your life but hey, roll the dice again!
 
I'm the idiot? Say the guy who proudly doesn't get the flu shot.

Wow.


Do you think yourself smarter than EVERYONE or just everyone with a medical degree?

I wish people would hold off from insulting each other, but there are many good reasons not to take the flu shots. This article on what the flu shots do is a tad old, but still quite good in my view:

Here's an article from this year on some of the side effects of flu shots:
 
I wish people would hold off from insulting each other,

Welcome to JPP.


but there are many good reasons not to take the flu shots. This article on what the flu shots do is a tad old, but still quite good in my view:

Why don't you go with an actual MEDICAL journal instead of relying on "Centre for Research on Globalization"? Is the medical literature beyond you?

Lol :-p. I've been around a bit, I know the insults fly on a regular basis, but I think that drawing a bit of attention to it -might- get some people to tone it down a bit.

I imagine you never actually clicked on the Global Research article, so I'll bring a bit of it to you:

All Vaccines Are Ineffective and Unsafe

Gary Null is a leading health and nutrition expert, author, documentary filmmaker, founder of the Progressive Radio Network, and syndicated host of the longest running health program in America, Natural Living with Gary Null.

On September 18, 2009, he interviewed Dr. Viera Scheibner, “arguably one of the world’s most respected scientists and scholars on vaccine medical data….Her investigations uncover how the vaccine industrial complex (and complicit government regulatory bodies produce) pseudo-science that is fraught with inconsistencies, poorly designed studies, erroneous interpretations, and conclusions that are patently false” – by design, not chance.

She calls vaccinations “an illness industry,” causing a “pandemic (of) degenerative diseases (and) behavioral problems.”

From her research and writings on vaccine science and history, she said:

“Ever since the turn of the (last) century, medical journals published dozens and dozens of articles demonstrating that injecting vaccines (can) cause anaphylaxis, meaning harmful, inappropriate immunological responses, which is also called sensitization. (This) increase(s) susceptibility to the disease which the vaccine is supposed to prevent, and to a host of related and other unrelated infections.”

“We see it in vaccinated children within days, within two or three weeks. (Most of them) develop runny noses, ear infections, pneumonitis, (and) bronchiolitis. It is only a matter of degrees, which indicates immuno-suppression, (not immunity). It indicates the opposite. So I never use the word immunization because that is false advertising. It implies that vaccines immunize, which they don’t. The correct term is either vaccination or sensitization.”
In addition, “Vaccines (can) damage internal organs, particularly the pancreas,” so everyone vaccinated, including for seasonal flu, is vulnerable to contracting severe “autoimmune diseases like diabetes,” Addison’s Disease, Arthritis, Asthma, Guillian-Barre Syndrome, Hepatitis, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Osteoporosis, Polio, and dozens of others.

Some can kill. Others produce a lifetime of disability and pain because autoimmune disease happens when the “body attacks itself,” or more accurately “is attacked” by an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and various harmful ingestible substances; that is, toxins in drugs, food, air, water, and other liquids. According to immunologist, Dr. Jesse Stoff, human health is compromised four ways:

— by poor nutrition;

— man-made environmental toxins;

— disease-causing organisms and their toxins; and

— immune system trauma from factors like x-ray radiation and stress.
Other factors include a lack of sleep and exercise, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and various excesses that throw the body out of balance, making it susceptible to a host of debilitating illnesses.

Known Toxins in Seasonal Flu and Other Vaccines

Millions voluntarily take annual flu shots not knowing their harmful ingredients. With variations by producer, they contain numerous stabilizers, neutralizers, carrying agents, and preservatives, including:

— 25 micrograms of mercury (thimerosal), a known neurotoxin; one microgram is considered toxic; according to the NIH, “mercury and all of its compounds are toxic, exposure to excessive levels can permanently damage or fatally injure the brain and kidneys;” even “exposures to very small amounts” can also cause “allergic reactions, neurological damage and death;” it’s also linked to autism;

— aluminum hydroxide and phosphate, known to be linked to some neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease; the Office of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports x-ray evidence of pulmonary fibrosis among workers studied; it also reports that patients undergoing long-term kidney dialysis develop speech disorders, dementia, or convulsions;

— formaldehyde, a known carcinogen according to the National Cancer Institute; it’s also linked to upper respiratory tract problems and effects on lymphatic and hematopoietic systems (relating to human blood cells);

— gelatin, polysorbate 80 and resin – ingredients causing severe allergic reactions;

— ammonium sulfate, a suspected gastrointestinal, liver, and respiratory toxicant and neurotoxicant;

— sorbitol, a suspected gastrointestinal and liver toxicant;

— phenoxyethanol (antifreeze), a suspected developmental and reproductive toxicant;

— beta-propiolactone, a known carcinogen and suspected gastrointestinal, liver, respiratory, skin and sense organ toxicant;

— gentamycin, an antibiotic;

— triton X100, a strong detergent;

— animal tissues and fluids, including potentially contaminated horse blood, rabbit brain, dog kidney, monkey kidney, chick embryo, chicken egg, duck egg, pig blood, and porcine (pig) protein/tissue;

— calf and fetal bovine serum;

— macerated cancer cells;

— diploid cells from aborted fetal tissue; and/or

— other ingredients varying by producer.
Contrary to industry and government agency advice, annual flu shots are dangerous and ineffective. According to Croft Woodruff, president of the EDTA Chelation Association of British Columbia:


“Statistically, you’d be more likely to avoid the flu if you took nothing at all. So why are we subjected to the flu vaccine media blitz each year?” In a word, profits assured annually as long as enough people take them – for all vaccines (besides the enormous bonanza from the Swine Flu vaccines), billions of dollars in annual revenues, according to leading producer estimates.

On September 29, Wall Street Journal writers Jonathan Rockoff and Peter Loftus explained that the industry believes vaccines:

“will become an increasingly important source of growth to replace aging blockbusters that are poised to lose patent protection. Vaccine sales are growing faster than sales of other prescription medicines and are largely immune to the generic competition that is already cost drug makers billions of dollars in revenues on their top-selling treatments. Moreover, government agencies both in the US and around the world are increasingly reliable buyers of vaccines as they seek to stockpile medicines that could help protect the public in case of a major flu outbreak.”
Or perhaps, in the case of Swine Flu, infect it as part of a sinister depopulation scheme through involuntary male and/or female sterilization and future deadly illnesses while rewarding producers with hundreds of billions in profits from global inoculations over the next few years. For what may be planned, it doesn’t get any better than that. As a result, the public is cautioned to ignore media and official hype and stay safe by refusing all vaccines, especially the new Swine Flu ones that may, in fact, be bioweapons.

If someone still thinks the death stab is a good idea they need to be in a psych ward. Friends don't let friends get the death stab
the amazing thing is that I've had the "death stab" 6 times, as well as the flu and shingles vaccines, and I'm still alive.

So maybe they're not "death stabs".

Maybe - and I'm just thinking out loud, here - you should not get vaccinated if you don't want to, but let people who understand what and how vaccines work (or who trust in the science behind vaccines) be vaccinated.

That way, we can all go on living and if you should die from a disease you could have easily been vaccinated against perhaps someone would show up to mourn at your funeral. 🤷‍♂️

I just had to laugh at these comments. I literally laughed out loud when I read them.

Gary Null is NOT a "leading health and nutrition expert". He is a talk radio host and author of pseudo- and anti-science works.

He has an Associates degree in Business Administration, a Bachelor's Degree in Human Nutrition, and a very shaky PhD from a poorly-written and poorly peer-received thesis, "A Study of Psychological and Physiological Effects of Caffeine on Human Health".

He has no education in virology, immunology, vaccinology, and microbiology. He is wholly unqualified to speak on the efficaciousness and development of vaccines.

Viera Schneibner, here described as "...arguably one of the world's most respected scientists and scholars on vaccine medical data..." is a retired micropalaeontologist. Micropaoaeontology is the study of tiny fossils, generally less than a millimetre in size.

She has NO formal medical training or scientific background whatsoever and, just like Gary Null, is wholly unqualified to discuss the efficacy and development of vaccines.

And therein lies the problem. People like these two spew their unqualified, unscientific, and medically unsound (if not downright dangerous) statements into the world, and for some reason rather than dig deeper, people lap it up and cite them as factual and authoritative figures.

The phrase "consider the source" is a well-known phrase for a reason. Null and Schneibner are poor sources.

Considering their opinions on vaccines and viruses would be laughable if both of them weren't such a public health danger.

I concede that I had not thought of questioning Gary Null's credentials prior to your comments. I have since checked Wikipedia, and it verified a lot of what you are saying. I am -not- a fan of big pharma mainstream medicine, so saying that the establishment doesn't like Null's credentials is hardly something I find surprising. Here's a snippet of his page on Wikipedia that I can definitely relate to:
**

Career

Null is hostile to many facets of mainstream medicine, arguing that physicians and pharmaceutical companies have an economic interest in promoting rather than preventing sickness, and he has regularly asserted that all diseases are caused by nutritional deficiencies which can be cured by nutritional supplements. In place of standard medical therapy, Null advocated alternative cancer treatments such as Krebiozen, laetrile and Gerson therapy, asserting that "the alternatives have been covered up by those science writers of the national news media who ride shotgun for the medical establishment's solid-gold cancer train".
**

I am not familiar with Krebiozen or laetrile, but I am -definitely- familiar with the Gerson therapy and think it has a lot to offer, having watched a documentary on it a while back. It can be seen here:
 
Just read the following article on RFK Jr.'s recent testimony in congress, thought it was quite good:

I think the final part of the article deserves mention:
**
Later, Kennedy clashed with Rep. DeLauro once more. This time, he let loose.

“Look at our children, they’re the sickest children in the world,” he said passionately.

Kennedy delivered a direct blow to DeLauro, noting he succeeded where she failed.

“Congresswoman DeLauro, you say that you’ve worked for 20 years on getting food dye out. Then give me credit!” he exclaimed. “I got it out in 100 days.”

He then closed with a call to unity:

“So, let’s work together and do something that we all believe in, which is have healthy kids in our country for God’s sake. There’s no such thing as Republican children or Democratic children. There’s just kids, and we should all be concerned with them.”
