WHY ISN'T THIS GETTING SERIOUS PUBLICITY IN THE MSM?

Last edited Sat Aug 30, 2025, 03:35 PM - Edit history (1)

Here is the answer to a question that I just posed in an online search:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that he and his children are vaccinated, but he has also been a vocal critic of vaccines and has promoted misinformation about their safety. His stance on vaccination has led to significant controversy and debate.

They are *special*. Everyone else he thinks eugenics and darwinism needs to do its thing.

Also, I make fun of the way he speaks and looks.

I'm not the nice and tolerant Left. That's down the hall.

This is the FOAD cruelty is my point Democratic member's room.

4. Just looked and there are articles in WaPo, NYT. LA Times, etc., with a title that includes the word "Hypocrisy."

They were several months ago, but media is reporting it. Apparently, few gave a chit.

15. It's one thing to "report" it.

It's another thing to relentlessly pound a story day after day after day. There could have been an alien invasion and it would have been on page 20 after Hillary's emails.

(New York Times) "Lawmakers quizzed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wednesday during a Senate Finance hearing about his decision to keep a financial stake in litigation against a major vaccine maker...Ethics records released in advance of the hearing said that Mr. Kennedy planned to receive fees on cases with the personal injury law firm Wisner Baum...Mr. Kennedy took the unusual step of keeping his stake in the pending litigation, according to ethics documents he filed in advance of his confirmation hearings. Mr. Kennedy said in his ethics filings that he would end his referral agreement with the law firm but would collect fees related to cases in the continuing cases."

"The financial arrangement drew sharp criticism from Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts. She noted Mr. Kennedy’s history of suggesting that drug companies and federal officials are motivated by financial gain...She accused Mr. Kennedy of profiteering from vaccine skepticism. She pointed to the financial stake in litigation against the vaccine maker Merck — and his intention to hold on to it even if he gains regulatory power over the company as health secretary...Public records show that Mr. Kennedy has earned about $2.5 million from his work with Wisner Baum since 2022."

To be frank, I have never been enamored of his inappropriately lionized father, who after all, served as Roy Cohn's assistant in the McCarthy hearings. Roy Cohn helped to create the orange pedophile in the White House.

There's always been a link between the orange pedophile and the Kennedy family in this sense.
