Get this stupid, arrogant, narcissistic MANIAC the hell out of here!!!!
RFK, Jr. is practicing medicine without a license with the permission of the president and congress. He will kill thousands. Fire him. Arrest him. Lock him up.
We at PolitiSage have been writing about this man since LONG before he went up for confirmation. We are facing a medical reality in which smallpox—which it took us 180 YEARS to eradicate—is reemerging from isolated pockets of human populations and from melting permafrost. He wants to get rid of all the vaccines.
Just to remind, this is a picture of two boys who caught smallpox from the same host on the same day. The boy on the left had NOT been vaccinated; the boy on the right had received a vaccination. The boy on the left is going to die; the boy on the right, though he also caught smallpox, is going to recover just fine. Vaccines do not prevent a person from catching a disease; they train our immune systems to be able to SEE the disease and mount a vigorous response to the disease, preventing it from progressing to the point of crisis.

In the last 50 years, the lives of 154,000,000 people have been saved by vaccines. On the horizon: a vaccine for AIDS, for cancer, and for longevity—in that last one the mRNA vaccine teaches the body’s immune system to recognize and scrub out the senescent cells—the “zombie cells”—that make us age so fast. But if RFK, Jr. has his way, all mRNA vaccines, including those for COVID, will be blocked entirely. De Santos, the Republican governor of Florida, wants all the vaccine mandates for school children removed. He will likely succeed. And what will that mean? It means there will be epidemics of measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, typhoid, smallpox—and most threatening of all, tuberculosis in strains that are resistant to all antibiotics.
The History
Here’s how this went down, from an article I wrote some years ago for a tech journal …
Edward Jenner was a curious man. Between house calls in the rural England of 1796, the doctor mused about the folk legend being whispered about the countryside. At a time when smallpox – by turns fatal and disfiguring – ravaged pastoral England, many had noticed that milkmaids seldom contracted the disease and were mystified as to why they were spared. But Jenner would come to make a subtler, far more intricate observation: milkmaids infected with cowpox contracted it only once; and milkmaids who’d had cowpox never fell victim to smallpox. Jenner thought he know why.
Ready to test his hypothesis, Jenner tracked down a milkmaid named Sarah, who had active lesions of cowpox, a case of which she had caught from a dairy cow named Blossom. Jenner extracted fluid from a blister on Sarah’s hand, and – in an act which runs counter to the most basic ethical standards of our time – injected the fluid into an eight-year-old boy named James. As expected, James fell ill with cowpox and, as also expected, recovered. This brought Jenner to the real point of his experiment: he injected James with live smallpox. James didn’t develop smallpox – not then, not for the rest of his life. Jenner had discovered antibodies, and from them he had created the first vaccine.
Here’s how this works: perhaps on its first encounter with a new disease, the body’s immune system doesn’t respond as rapidly as we’d like, and the victim suffers a serious illness and perhaps dies. But if the patient does survive, it means his or her immune system created an antibody that successfully fought off the disease. Not only that, but also the antibody will always be there to prevent the disease from ever taking serious hold in the body again. In the cowpox example, the milkmaid might fall ill with the disease once, but she’ll not suffer from it a second time. She’s immune. Why? Because she’s developed an antibody which identifies and kills cowpox bacteria on contact. And sometimes, as in the case of James (Dr. Jenner’s human guinea pig), an antibody developed to fight one disease (cowpox) can protect against another, related disease (smallpox), even when the body has been unable to produce such an antibody on its own. And the best news of all: the antibodies of a person who’s triumphed over a disease can be given to others, rendering them protected even from an initial infection.
Jenner’s brilliancy transformed medical science and humanity’s sense of its vulnerability to disease. Over the next 200 years, spectacular vaccines successfully engaged some of humankind’s deadliest adversaries: typhoid, tetanus, yellow fever, encephalitis, diphtheria, tuberculosis, rabies. Even polio was eradicated by the powerful Salk and Sabin vaccines of the 1950s.
The Polio Epidemic
And that was the beginning. And as to the polio vaccine, in fourth grade my friend Patricia Snell contracted polio from contaminated water. She lived in a sharecropper’s house, and they carried well water into the house with pails. 1958 was a year when there was an epidemic in our area of the South. Everyone was afraid.
She complained of a sore throat in Mrs. Murray’s class on Friday morning before lunch. Her family was immediately called. Her dad arrived at recess to find Patricia sitting outside on the cement schoolhouse steps with a teacher in attendance. He had been working in the fields, so he was dirty, and his heavy boots were caked with mud. The moment he saw her, his eyes filled with tears. He picked her up, and all she said was, “Oh, Daddy.”
As he turned to leave with her, she lifted her head off his shoulder and looked at me. “Feel better,” I said. And then her head sank back onto her dad’s shoulder.
On Monday, her dad came to our class to tell us Patricia had died on Sunday morning, just two days after she got sick. Had she lived, she’d have been paralyzed, of course, or in an iron lung for the rest of her life. He told us how much she loved us all and how beautiful she thought we were. He ignored the part where some people made fun of her for not getting to bathe as often as the rest of us, for always wearing hand-me-down clothes, for having beat-up old shoes that didn’t fit because they had belonged to someone else first.
Her family was very poor, so this galvanized ground plate, in a little town in South Carolina far, far away from us, was the only memorial her family could afford to give her. They buried her on her grandmother’s farm “so she wouldn’t feel so alone.” Even now, 67 years later, this still breaks my heart.
I grieve this friend of mine to this day. She died just three weeks before the mass vaccination effort would take place in our part of the South. We would, after that, never have a polio epidemic again. Polio was eradicated by 1994 in North and South America by the dedicated and concentrated use of vaccines in a remarkable international effort. In 2011, there were still cases in eleven countries, most of them in Central Asia.
But one biggie was smallpox, and it will be again if we stop vaccinating: as permafrost melts due to climate change, smallpox may be released from the ground.
But the one that can take out many, many of us is antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis. And this is where I came in.
Vaccinating My Kid
Arguments against vaccination aren’t new. In 1982, when my son six and entering first grade, I pitched a fit about mandatory vaccinations. He’d had the newborn ones, as required by law, but I’d balked at what I thought (and still do) was the over-vaccination of children. I wondered what ill effects there might be from having so many and felt it would be very hard to isolate the impact in a heavily populated social environment with a million variables to consider. So, I just didn’t do it.
But now I was finding out that tuberculosis vaccine was mandated. Why? Because this isn’t just a country, it’s a world, and our “isolation” from pathogens is a happy lie we tell ourselves. And it is NOT just having many immigrants, which we do, it is worldwide shipping, it is the tourist we welcome for their money, it is the business people flying around, it is OUR folks traveling all over the world and coming home.
And here’s a case in point: At the beginning of the COVID days, a Malaysian businessman who had been in Wuhan, China the week before had dinner in Hong Kong with a British businessman. Then both started their trips back home.
The Malaysian businessman introduced COVID-19 to his country and died a few weeks later. He was Patient #1 in Malaysia.
The British businessman first flew to France to a chalet in ski country and stayed a week. He wasn’t sick yet. After he left, everyone who was at the chalet when he was there came down with COVID, the first cases in France. It had traveled airborne through the HVAC system in the hotel. … Then our British friend went home to England, and that’s where he got sick. Lucky him because the Brits jumped all over this case and saved his life—and he was young, in shape, and had excellent nutrition, which meant, as we know now, that whether you survive depends on HOW MUCH VITAMIN E YOU HAVE IN YOUR SYSTEM WHEN YOU CONTRACT IT. This man was Patient #1 in France and England.
Now, if any of us think we can outrun the fact of globalization—and even global container trade—we’re just pipe-dreaming. COVID can survive on a surface for 17 days. That’s less time than it takes me to get a gemstone from Jaipur, in north India, to my house.
If we don’t have vaccines for even five years, many diseases will make their way back into the list of global killers. And with no mandated vaccines for newborns, though I absolutely believe we’re overdoing it, many babies will die—from the strep and staph in hospitals alone. And many infants will die, and many toddlers, and many young children, like Roald Dahl’s daughter Olivia, who contracted measles before a vaccine existed. She died at age 7. For his heartfelt—and heartbroken—appeal see our previous article.

RFK, Jr. must be removed. NOW.
This morning the Kennedy family is again appealing to America to remove their heroin-addict, mentally unstable conspiracy-theory relative. But Trump won’t do it. Why? What has RFK, Jr. got on Trump? Does it start with an “E”? My guess is that it does. Why else would Trump call this man the “crown jewel” of his cabinet????
It is not enough that history will absolutely prove us right about this man and the wholesale loss of life and health that will attend his arrogant madness—and cruelty. Yesterday, flailing in the public’s wrath, he even claimed that COVID caused King Charles’ cancer. I believe that statement to have come from the very bedrock of indecency at the bottom of time.
People like De Santos will not go to jail no matter how many they kill.
Some good news is that a few Western states are banding together to make their own immunization rules to completely disengage from the CDC, knowing, as the rest of us do, that RFK, Jr. is going to fire every SCIENTIST and replace him/her with another nutjob who thinks that Ivermectin—which is GREAT for some parasites and completely ineffective for COVID—is a good idea, especially if you chase it with Clorox.
We really must muster a fight. Call every congress person you have. It’s apparently the calls that make a real difference.
Our kids should not have fewer protections than our parents gave us. And no more 10-year-olds should die, like Patricia Snell did, because there is no vaccine around for her—or like 7-year-old Olivia Dahl did especially not because some narcissist like RFK, Jr. decides to gut mRNA vaccine research, AS HE HAS DONE.
Even before the next election, we have battles to fight.
This one deserves a flaming sword.
Folks in meetings with him, have cited he just “ makes shit up.” This seems to be an apt summary.
I hope your son entering first grave was just a typo. I read years ago about a woman dying of anthrax because of some wool she bought. It came from another country but evidently the sheep were infected. That impressed on me that we weren't isolated. I think they do a better job of detecting that sort of thing, but probably not for long in the Trump/RFKJR era. When my daughter was young and getting her vaccinations I asked about the small pox vaccine and was told they quit giving it as it was eradicated. Well, looks like that's not so (nor I think was it ever). I knew it had to be somewhere out there in the world. I believe in protecting our children. I've always wondered about the religious objections thing. Why wouldn't God give man the ability to discover things that help mankind, like vaccines? Should we not vaccinate our dogs for rabies? That's a scary disease, but so is polio and measels which can also kill. RFKJR has to go before he starts a world wide epidemic. I think it's already starting with the gutting of USAID. We aren't an island and planes arrive every day.
