RFK Jr. attacks pediatricians' group over vaccine recommendations

[lostincalifornia]

"The gloves are off in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s feud with American doctors.

Hours after the American Academy of Pediatrics, the professional society for doctors who care for children, issued Covid-19 vaccine guidance contradicting that of the health secretary, Kennedy accused the group of engaging in a “pay-to-play scheme to promote commercial ambitions of AAP’s Big Pharma benefactors” in a post on social media platform X.

Kennedy cited donations from Covid mRNA vaccine drugmakers Pfizer and Moderna, among other pharmaceutical companies, to the pediatricians’ Friends of Children Fund, which backs projects promoting children’s health and health equity. Kennedy said the contributions constituted a conflict of interest and suggested they led to the group’s decision to recommend that young children, between 6 and 23 months old, receive Covid vaccines.

In May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dropped its recommendation that all children 6 months and older get Covid shots. Kennedy at the time said the move was based on “common sense” and “good science.”

1. Pediatricians are generally mild mannered people.

But they're fiercely protective of children's health. They're also usually very highly trusted doctors.

I can't imagine worse optics for RFK, Jr. than getting into a fight with pediatricians.

2. Turns out that RFK Jr's concern about vaccines and mRNA has more to do with the millions of

….$s he has gotten from a law firm that specializes in suing vaccine manufacturers.

Btw when it comes to vaccines I’ll believe the doctors from the American Academy of Pediatrics
before I will believe a heroin junky who knows nothing about science, medicine, microbiology,
and epidemiology.

3. A model

Good for the AAP in claiming their expertise and fighting back. The quacks now run HHS.

4. Sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on all worms that annoy you.

This has been a PSA from GreenWave exterminator of over 10,000 tree worms last week with just DE.
