Dachel Wake Up: Robert Kennedy Jr. Speaks at Fearless Parent Event
Jan 24, 2017, APP: Kennedy, panelists, raise vaccine concerns at Red Bank forum
RED BANK - With a powerful new potential ally in the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that he wanted to develop a safer vaccine program that relied on scientific research and was free of influence from drug companies.
The environmentalist said children became increasingly sick and injured just as the number of vaccines given to them soared — a connection that is too strong to ignore.
"The institution that is supposed to protect these children, people are telling themselves the vaccine program is so important that we cannot even allow debate about vaccine safety," Kennedy said.
Kennedy was among a group of activists who spoke to about 350 people at The Two River Theater at a program sponsored by Fearless Parent, an advocacy group for parents whose ideas are at odds with the main stream. Front and center on Tuesday: They called on the government to give parents more choice when it comes to vaccinating their children.
Their position, long considered at odds with science, was given a jolt when Kennedy recently said President Donald Trump had spoken to him about serving on a commission to look at immunizations. Trump raised doubts about the impact of vaccines during the Republican debates.
The president's position alarmed many doctors. The American Academy of Pediatricians quickly responded by saying vaccines are among the nation's most important medical inventions, preventing countless illnesses and unnecessary deaths.
"The question is, is it safer to vaccinate your child or have them go unprotected?" Dr. Margaret Fisher, chairwoman of the Department of Pediatrics at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch said in an interview Tuesday. "To me, there’s no contest."
Advocates speaking before the conference said they weren't convinced that vaccines were appropriate for every child. They took particular aim at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's program that compensates families of children injured by vaccines. And they asked: Why would the CDC even need a program if vaccines are safe and effective?
Louise Kuo Habakus, a Middletown resident, said her two sons, now 16 and 13, suffered from gastrointestinal problems, rashes and allergies that she thinks were caused by immunizations; doctors never got to the bottom of it.
They since have recovered thanks in part to their restrictive diet. And she said she couldn't rule out other factors. But to her, the statistics were troubling: the incidence of autism, for example, has climbed to 1 in 45. The academy of pediatricians said studies have shown that autism isn't linked to vaccines.
But Kuo Habakus said the compensation program was a red flag. "I thought, how can you be recommending and mandating these vaccines to virtually all of our nation’s children and telling them essentially they are safe and effective, they keep your child safe and society safe, you must get them or your kid can’t go to school, and then quietly pay people?” she said.
Sarah Bridges, a psychologist from Minneapolis, Minnesota, agreed. Her son, Porter, had a seizure when he was an infant shortly after being immunized with a vaccine. He has autism and developmental delays. Now 23, the vaccine compensation program pays for his health care.
"I was pro-vaccine and I still am, 100 percent, but there’s a problem with a subset of kids as there is with any medication," Bridges said. “I do think there needs to be vaccine choice for families.”
A policy change that would make vaccines optional is dangerous, Fisher said, in part because parents who don't vaccinate their children put other children at risk. She said vaccines aren't fail safe, but nothing is. And she recalled treating a child who survived leukemia, but died from an illness that could have been prevented if she had been immunized.
"I think it's very important people have choice — when their choices don’t affect other people," Fisher said. "By choosing to not vaccinate your children you are putting other children at risk."
Kennedy, 63, spoke for about 30 minutes in a speech that ended with a standing ovation.
He said he had three vaccines when he was a child; his children had almost 70 doses each. And he pointed to a law passed in 1986 that made drug companies immune from vaccine lawsuits, setting off what amounted to a space race with billions of dollars at stake.
What ensued was a vaccine program that he said is rife with conflicts of interests and harming children.
Kennedy, known for his environmental activism, said his position on vaccines has put him at odds with friends who have fiercely supported his fight against climate change.
But he said his intent is the same. He would like, for example, to eliminate mercury from vaccines.
"I've been trying to get mercury out of fish for 30 years," he said. "People don't call me anti-fish."

Missouri Bill Would Ban Mercury Vaccines; First Step to Nullify Federal Policy in Practice
A Missouri House bill would ban public health clinics from administering vaccines that contain mercury or any other metal put into the vaccine for preservation purposes, contradicting approved federal policy.
House Bill 331 (HB331) was introduced by Rep. Lynn Morris (R-Nixa) to mitigate concerns regarding vaccine safety. With the exception of health emergencies determined by the Department of Health & Senior Services with concurrence from the governor, the following provision would apply:
Beginning August 28, 2018, no vaccine containing mercury or other metal for preservation or other purpose shall be administrated to a child or adult in a public health clinic in Missouri.
HB331 begins the process of nullifying potential vaccine mandates, which generally have their basis in federal recommendations or guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although these federal rules are not technically binding, they often influence policy-makers and individuals at the local and state levels to adopt coercive mandates regarding mercury-laced vaccines and other toxic substances.

We win. They lose. The memory of what they have done will cling to their children for generations to come, like the children of Nazi war criminals who were horrified by the crimes of their parents. And what about us? We were the resistance. We were the freedom-fighters. We fought to protect the future. And we will tell our stories.

Cherry,
Embedded in your post, is a theme that really vaccines to me.
First you bring your child to the doctor for a vaccine.
And then you bring them back to the doctor again, and again, and again, and again,........

To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate – That Is No Longer the Question!
Posted by: Hans Litten | February 01, 2017 at 05:06 AM
Re the children with leukemia, - Im trying to understand this- Correct me if Im wrong.
First you vaccinate your child with large numbers of vaccines, as required by your doctor. Possibly the mercury - aluminum- other toxic ingredients- cause your child to develop leukemia.
Secondly you treat the leukemia with toxic chemicals and your child appears to recover.
Thirdly, you now revaccinate your child as per doctors orders, because he lost some of his immunity.
As often happens , the leukemia relapses and your child must be treated all over again.
Fourth: With the second leukemia now in remission , you will vaccinate your child for a THIRD time.
Actually , My head is spinning now. I think Ill take a walk and pay a visit to my poor illiterate cooks hovel across the road. She has three healthy boys, the eldest is 15, born at home, unvaccinated except for polio drops, which she now refuses to give because she has seen a case of Vaccine Derived Polio, who died . Seeing those three healthy boys, the end product of millions of years of evolution, who manage to stay healthy despite the lack of vaccines might calm me down and give me hope. Dont worry, Dr. Fischer, if , for any reason your highly vaccinated American kids dont survive or reproduce sufficiently,, or some horrid anti-vaxxers blow your herd immunity to pieces, there are plenty of unvaccinated village kids in India to take their place. I recall something about "the meek shall inherit the Earth" ?
To be scientifically correct, I should mention that the youngest child was given a single vaccine with a syringe on one occasion only- and he is the one with occasional asthma bouts.

People need to put specific questions to Dr. Fischer, For example: "So, if I understand you correctly, If the aluminium scientists says that we dont know if Al in vaccines is causing leukemia and asthma because it has not been studied, then you would say that we should NOT study that hypothesis."

POTIS meeting with Pharma this morning. For the brief moments that the press was allowed in the meeting the thrust of the comments focused on LESS regulation.
I believe the four tenants at the end of Vaxxed are paramount and to get there RFK Jr's leadership is essential. I really hope things are going in that direction but as time progresses I get more and more worried.

Here you are Bill, read all about the recommended re-vaccination schedule for children who have had chemo treatment for leukaemia
https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/44/5/635/347611/Revaccination-of-Children-after-Completion-of
Revaccination of children after standard chemotherapy is important, and protection can be achieved in the majority of these children using a simple schedule of 1 vaccine dose at 6 months after completion of leukemia therapy.
&
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2014/707691/
By the time of completion of chemotherapy, insufficient serum antibody levels for vaccine-preventable diseases have been reported, while immunological memory appears to be preserved. Once immunological recovery is completed, usually after 6 months, response to booster or vaccination is generally good and allows patients to be protected and also to contribute to herd immunity.

@ Bill
"Given how vaccines are supposed to PROVOKE an immune response, isn't it possible that a child with leukemia would NOT be "protected" by vaccines, but could in fact be among the group most HARMED by vaccines?....
I agree Bill .. but then .. I know we are not alone in seeking answers to the myriad of questions regarding vaccines .. here are just two articles that raise numerous reasons WHY the Commission to investigate vaccine safety and scientific inquiry is URGENTLY NEEDED:

At a recent local showing of the movie "Vaxxed", 2 fanatic pro-vaxxer people showed up to disrupt the event. I asked the guy what he had to say about the $3Billion+ that's been paid out over the last 30 years by the "Vaccine Injury Court".... His glib response is that it's cheaper for the drug companies to just pay BIG $$$ to settle the lawsuits, than to fight them..... Think about that. That's $100,000,000.+ PER YEAR!....For over 30 years!.... Vaccines aren't about "public health", they're about PRIVATE WEALTH!

This is important enough to ask a relevant question. Given how vaccines are supposed to PROVOKE an immune response, isn't it possible that a child with leukemia would NOT be "protected" by vaccines, but could in fact be among the group most HARMED by vaccines?....
I doubt any "pro-vaxxer" is gonna seriously answer this question.....

No Question! There must be a Commission. Millions of lives will be at stake. If the vaccine-programme goes ahead as at present innumerable more lives will be destroyed worldwide.

"The question is, is it safer to vaccinate your child or have them go unprotected?" Dr. Margaret Fisher, chairwoman of the Department of Pediatrics at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch said in an interview Tuesday. "To me, there’s no contest."
Dr Fisher not only asked the wrong question .. she then gave what amounts to nothing more than her own personal opinion as her answer.
I would have asked Dr. Fischer:
"Should a scientific .. independent .. commission to investigate vaccine safety and scientific integrity be established .. to validate the overall "safety" of present vaccines and the policies by which they are approved, recommended, administered and monitored for adverse reactions .. vaccines and policies already recognized by a majority opinion of the Supreme Court to be "unavoidably unsafe" ... and .. by the recognition of our government to relieve the vaccine industry from any financial liabilities inherent in administering a scientifically improbable .. "one size fits all vaccine" .. which has resulted in 3 BILLION dollars of compensation to those victimized by a vaccine .. with NO END IN SIGHT.
For that reason alone .. the government has a responsibility to guarantee the vaccines they are paying BILLIONS of dollars in compensation awards .. ARE WITHOUT QUESTION .. SAFE!
It is nothing less than CRUEL for our government to CONTINUE callously dismissing thousands of children severely injured with life-threatening .. life-long vaccine INJURIES .. as "collateral damage".
As to the question whether or not the commission on vaccine safety is URGENTLY NEEDED .. to paraphrase Dr. Fischer .. "To me, there's no contest".
