This stinks of a compromise, like RFK needs to announce some “cause of autism” because that’s his entire base of political support, but he can’t say “vaccines” like his base wants, because doing so would be so beyond the pale for the public health professionals in the organization that they might just refuse to work with him, ruining his ability to use his position to grift.
Another weird distraction from the Epstein files
the “Tylenol during pregnancy” thing is obviously bullshit, but I think the other bullshit they’re announcing at the same time will ultimately have a more harmful impact:
White House officials are also expected to suggest that a form of vitamin B that is typically used in conjunction with cancer treatment could be used to treat autism.
there is a long history of grifters claiming they can “treat” or “cure” autistic people, especially autistic children. giving a White House stamp of approval to the idea that you can “treat” autism with fucking vitamin supplements is going to turbo-charge those grifters.
these Behind the Bastards episodes are worth listening to if you want to know more:
I hate these fucking woowoo health grifters with so much passion. Thank you for the podcast links - my go-to for this stuff is the podcast “Maintenance Phase”
Maintenance Phase is great, if you like that I think you’d definitely like BtB.
they have a wider range of topics than Maintenance Phase - besides health grifters you’ll also get cult leaders, dictators, child abusers, weird Nazi freaks, etc.
here’s some of the episodes they’ve done that overlap most with the health/wellness industry that MP talks about:
Part One: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam
Part Two: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam
Part One: Bruno Bettelheim: The Worst Psycho-therapist
Part Two: Bruno Bettelheim and The Quest To Make a “Good” Concentration Camp
Part One: How Tainted Human Blood Became A Major U.S. Export
Part Two: How Tainted Human Blood Became A Major U.S. Export
Part One: Laetrile: The Fake Cancer Cure That Birthed The Right-Wing Medical Grifting Industry
Part Two: Laetrile: The Fake Cancer Cure That Birthed The Right-Wing Medical Grifting Industry
Part One: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam
Part Two: The Vioxx Scandal: How Big Pharma Killed More Americans Than Vietnam
The guest on these episodes, Dr Kaveh Hoda, also has his own show, that focuses on medical topics, that’s also really good. In fact, they just put out an episode today regarding this topic.
fuck yeah, thx for the recs!
Except for a handful, all federal politicians are bought and paid for and only serve the oligarchs. If money isn’t stripped from politics (see Citizens United), then USA will continue to degrade.
Also a good way to deflect people from thinking about all the other shit they put in your food!
I’m assuming “not conclusively” is a massive understatement here, given the usual levels of plausibility.
So the vaccines are safe now…?
RFK is between a rock and a hard place regarding vaccines, on the one hand, he has his base of support, who are obsessed with blaming vaccines for stuff, and on the other is… all the health professionals in the admin he now runs that he needs to maintain some kind of workable relationship with. Mass condemnation of vaccines from him might actually destroy his ability to run the organization.
The recent vaccine hearing didn’t go so well for RFK Jr.
That’s odd. I thought it was the MMR vaccine.
But it’s a lie that fits his agenda so they’re going to roll with it
