Glad to see you seem to know as much about vaccines as you do about radiation. NuclearDem Sep 2014 #53

RFK Jr is a great Democrat, the son of another great Democrat who would be so proud of sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #58

Democrat, environmental activist, fucking lunatic. name not needed Sep 2014 #2

That doesn't offset his antivaxx stance. hobbit709 Sep 2014 #3

He's not against vaccines. That's a lie spun by people who can only think in black and white. pnwmom Sep 2014 #18

You've been told that is BS on how many threads now? hobbit709 Sep 2014 #23

At least a dozen. zappaman Sep 2014 #24

And obviously not registering. hobbit709 Sep 2014 #26

Anti vaxxers be like... zappaman Sep 2014 #27

Yeah, I've been "told" that by lots of fake experts. Martha Hebert, the professor in neurobiology pnwmom Sep 2014 #33

There is NO mercury in vaccines now. alarimer Sep 2014 #36

No, anyone saying the opposite is lying or stupid. pnwmom Sep 2014 #37

You've been listening to too many Big Pharma shills. JFK Jr is not against vaccines, no matter how sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #60

Also a dangerous, misinformed asshat. zappaman Sep 2014 #4

His children are fully vaccinated. All he's asking is that thimerosol be taken pnwmom Sep 2014 #10

Keep fanning those fears RFK Jr! zappaman Sep 2014 #12

Dr. Martha Hebert is an pediatric neurologist and autism researcher at Harvard. pnwmom Sep 2014 #15

She is a crank, like the Geyers and Wakefield. alarimer Sep 2014 #39

It's a shame when one goes out on a crazy limb (anti-vax) and has it taint all their other good work NightWatcher Sep 2014 #5

Apparently you can't point out his asshattery when it comes to being an anti-vaxxer zappaman Sep 2014 #6

Oh really. It isn't stopping anyone here. n/t pnwmom Sep 2014 #7

Then why the OP? zappaman Sep 2014 #11

Because many people, you included, don't know that he doesn't just have "great stuff to say" pnwmom Sep 2014 #13

pnwmom… I think you waste your time with some of the carrot stroker remarks you're getting... MrMickeysMom Sep 2014 #57

I thought Camelot was over NightWatcher Sep 2014 #8

If he was such an environmentalist, badtoworse Sep 2014 #14

He's still an anti-vax asshat...nt SidDithers Sep 2014 #17

I liked the guy until he joined the Jenny McCarthy crowd. LostInAnomie Sep 2014 #19

He's also an activist against harmful pharmaceuticals being Cleita Sep 2014 #20

Good point, Cleita. This does look increasingly like a smear campaign pnwmom Sep 2014 #21

for certain reddread Sep 2014 #31

The man is an anti-science crank. Spider Jerusalem Sep 2014 #22

So too bad he's so against the "science" of the oh so valuable mountaintop removal efforts... cascadiance Sep 2014 #30

That's irrelevant to his position on vaccines, which is still wrong and dangerous. Spider Jerusalem Sep 2014 #32

But it is relevant to calling him names like "asshat"... cascadiance Sep 2014 #40

No, it really isn't. Spider Jerusalem Sep 2014 #45

His position is that mercury shouldn't be added to vaccines that pregnant women and children get. pnwmom Sep 2014 #47

No, it isn't; stop misrepresenting what he says. Spider Jerusalem Sep 2014 #48

I can understand that there is a debate on this, and he may perhaps really have a weak argument... cascadiance Sep 2014 #49

I've provided quite a lot of substance. Did you read it? Spider Jerusalem Sep 2014 #50

Like you, I don't have a great deal of knowledge of this subject, though I might have to change that sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #61

I agree w/ you deathrind Sep 2014 #25

I do because a mountain of scientific research since Wakefield's original fraud has said otherwise. NuclearDem Sep 2014 #38

If this guy Hebert connects vaccines and autism in any way... Archae Sep 2014 #41

She's a neurologist who says that neurotoxins shouldn't be added to vaccines. pnwmom Sep 2014 #43

You're avoiding my point. Archae Sep 2014 #44

Mercury is a neurotoxin, and it's added to flu vaccines that pregnant women and small children pnwmom Sep 2014 #46

Would you let someone put a large amount of poison in your system? Archae Sep 2014 #52

Methylmercury and ethylmercury are not the same thing. NuclearDem Sep 2014 #54

Both are neurotoxins. n/t pnwmom Sep 2014 #55

You'd do better wasting your time teaching a pig to sing than to reason with her. hobbit709 Sep 2014 #56

Absolutely. ucrdem Sep 2014 #59

And an idiotic anti-vaccination lunatic. longship Sep 2014 #62
