In reply to the discussion: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Democrat and environmental activist [View all]Archae
(47,245 posts)52. Would you let someone put a large amount of poison in your system?
Obviously, no.
Yet a part of saline (salt solution) is chlorine.
A poison gas that killed thousands in WW1, and may have killed dozens in Syria.
But as a compound with sodium (an explosive metal) it goes into your body as saline.
Mercury in it's pure form is a neurotoxin.
But compounded with other elements makes an excellent preservative that causes *NO* harm.
Herbert may be correct in what causes autism.
In some cases.
But it has *ZERO* to do with the stuff hysterics call poison, or vaccinations.
My own family is excellent evidence of vaccinations having nothing to do with autism. Period.

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

Apparently you can't point out his asshattery when it comes to being an anti-vaxxer

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

pnwmom… I think you waste your time with some of the carrot stroker remarks you're getting...

So too bad he's so against the "science" of the oh so valuable mountaintop removal efforts...

That's irrelevant to his position on vaccines, which is still wrong and dangerous.

His position is that mercury shouldn't be added to vaccines that pregnant women and children get.

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

Like you, I don't have a great deal of knowledge of this subject, though I might have to change that
