The long knives have come out for RFK, Jr. Senate Democrats thought that they could create a situation in a Senate hearing where RFK, Jr would be forced to resign. The Democrats threw everything they had at him and still came up empty-handed.
The impetus for the hearing was the firing of some long-time, upper echelon employees at the CDC. According to an Op-ed in the NYTimes rag by some former directors at the CDC, Kennedy is endangering the health of every American.
Tom Woods notes:
Were I a former CDC director, out of shame and embarrassment, I would avoid the spotlight for the rest of my life, given how sick Americans are after years and years of the leadership of people like my friends and me. I think pretty much any normal person would behave the same way.
During the hearing Kennedy articulated exactly why he’s cleaning house. He dropped a harrowing statistic that brought the room to silence.
“This morning, I got the latest numbers from the CDC that 76.4% of Americans now have a chronic disease. This is stunning. When my uncle was President, it was 11%. In 1950, it was 3%… That’s why we have to fire people at CDC. They DID NOT do their job. This was THEIR JOB to keep us healthy. I need to fire some of those people to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
Kennedy announced that the CDC will be cleaning house by removing the health officials responsible for the catastrophic COVID failures.
Dr. Joseph Marine writes:
The arrogance and self-importance of these CDC bureaucrats is beyond belief. The reality is that the US would have been better off with no CDC at all during the pandemic. Their performance was a Chernobyl-level catastrophe….
They cannot credibly argue that the CDC saved a single life. And their message is still based on fearmongering. It is all that they know and all that they have. Fear of unknown infectious disease “threats.” They have learned nothing at all from the pandemic. Nothing.
Different Senators took turns trying to take down Kennedy. Senator Mike Bennet (D-Colorado) took issue with Kennedy appointing Dr. Robert Malone to the ACIP committee, a body of experts that advises the CDC on vaccine use and policy.
Bennet:
“Are you aware that Dr. Robert Malone claimed that the commonly used mRNA vaccine ‘causes a form of AIDS and can damage children’s, quote, brains, their heart, their immune system, and their ability to have children in the future?’”
Kennedy shut him up by saying: “Dr. Malone is one of the inventors of the mRNA vaccine. So he knows a lot more about it than I do.”
Of course, Bennet wasn’t done because he had not used up all of his time. This led to this gem.
KENNEDY: “You were never there complaining when the pharmaceutical companies were… running their products through with no safety testing.”
BENNETT: “You can characterize it any way you want. I quoted them today. What I said was accurate. What you said were lies.”
KENNEDY: “Are you saying, Senator, are you saying that the mRNA vaccine has never been associated with myocarditis or pericarditis in teenagers?”
BENNETT: “I am simply trying to say that the people that you have put on that panel after firing—”
(Kennedy interrupts)
KENNEDY: “You’re evading that question.”
BENNETT: “I’m asking the questions.”
KENNEDY: “Well, I asked you a question.”
BENNETT (raising his voice): “I’m asking the questions for Mr. Kennedy on behalf of PARENTS and SCHOOLS and TEACHERS all over the United States of America who deserve so much better than your leadership.”
KENNEDY: “They deserve the truth, and that’s what we’re going to give them for the FIRST TIME in the history of that agency.”
Senator Pocohantas (D-MA) tried to rake Kennedy over the coals about changes to the vaccine schedules. Warren claimed that Kennedy had promised not to take vaccines away and had broken that promise. Kennedy pushed back and noted that these “vaccine” products were still available if people wanted them. However, the promotion of those products has stopped because clinical data does not support their use.
When Warren would not stop, Kennedy revealed that Warren had received $855,000 in donations from Big Pharma. This caused Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) to blurt out that nearly every politician is taking Big Pharma dollars. I suppose that was an attempt to end the discussion on Big Pharma sway in DC. One has to wonder about the logic of Senator Sanders.
Kennedy got help from Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), a licensed OB-GYN, when he silenced the room by revealing the shocking number of shots kids are expected to take by age 18.
“On day number one, they get their first jab, a hepatitis vaccine. By the time they’re 18 months, they’ve had 18 jabs. By the time they get to be able to vote, they have 76 jabs.”
This is ridiculous. Dr. Marshall explained that he doesn’t see the point in vaccinating every newborn on the first day of life for Hepatitis B when the mother tests negative. The primary routes of transmission are intravenous drug use and sexual activity.
Kennedy hammered that point even further, revealing that “prior to the introduction of the vaccine, the risk of a baby dying from hepatitis B was 1 in 7 million.”
So, why this particular shot is mandated in 46 states for children to attend public school? We all know why. It is to fill the coffers of Big Pharma.
Kennedy came off as very knowledgeable and well versed in the job that he holds. Kennedy is no figurehead over a bunch of “science people” who have been captured by Big Pharma. Kenney also made the Senators who attacked him look like fools.
