Robert F Kennedy Jr compares childhood vaccines to Nazi Death Camps...

125. This thread is filled with distortions. Read what remains online of the original pulled post.

It was a METAPHOR. Although I didn't personally care for it, I'm withholding judgement.

Those who can advocate for themselves should do so. Move right along, please. Those who cannot have advocates like their parents and RFK Jr. who are sick of mincing words.

"But the scale of the catastrophe, the immensity of the denial, the suffering of the victims do justify the language."

It was energizing to listen of RFK Jr. Things will never be the same.

AGE OF AUTISM

Each of us will have our highlights from last weekend’s extraordinary Autism One gathering in Chicago, but for me it was Bobby Kennedy Jr. saying, “To my mind this is like the Nazi death camps.”

“This” is the imprisonment of so many of our children in the grip of autism. Talk about cutting through the neurodiverse claptrap!

When Bobby Kennedy says something, it gives “cover,” in a sense, for others to use the same kind of language and frame the debate in the same kind of way. (Language that reminds me of David Kirby’s phrase, “the shuttered hell” of autism, in Evidence of Harm.)

Those who can advocate for themselves should do so. Move right along, please. Those who cannot have advocates like their parents and RFK Jr. who are sick of mincing words.

Of course, playing what some call the “Nazi card” is always a risk. I’ve been bashed for it when I compared the mainstream media to the “how could we have known!” German citizens in the face of the Holocaust (and I’m well aware I’m handing Orac his next feces-flinging column). Note that Bobby wasn’t calling those who’ve enabled the autism epidemic Hitlers (just as I was not saying that about the media).

But the scale of the catastrophe, the immensity of the denial, the suffering of the victims do justify the language.

The enablers may not belong in Nuremburg, but they do belong in jail, Bobby said. “I would do a lot to see Paul Offit and all these good people behind bars,” he said, after listing Offit’s litany of lies and profit. Just to make sure people got the point, he returned to it in his speech. “Is it hyperbole to say they should be in jail? They should be in jail and the key should be thrown away.”

He quoted his father’s despair over the U.S. dropping napalm on Vietnamese villages and wondering if we are really any better than the Germans were. And he quoted Bible verse to say that if anyone harms so much as a hair on the head of a child, it would have “been better if they were never born.”

Kennedy has put together a book-length treatment on the dangers of ethylmercury, given every year to 84 million children around the world including the United States (in prenatal and infant flu shots). He wants to get meetings with the CDC, AAP, FDA, etc., and get a commitment by the end of this summer to finally remove thimerosal from vaccines in one year. ONE year. If not, he said, he’ll publish the book.

“If they don’t do this,” he said, “this is what I’m going to do with my life.” Since they’re not going to do it, it looks like we’ve got a friend for life.

Comment:

Making any comparison to Nazi Germany is not going to be popular, but when it fits, it fits. We are well past the time when anyone can say they just didn’t know. Health officials understand as well as we do what this bloated, toxic vaccine schedule is doing to children and they aren’t stopping it. Maybe they have some bizarre logic going on in their heads telling themselves that a generation of chronically ill and disabled children is an acceptable loss because they honestly believe so many lives have been saved by vaccines.

That’s hardly a defense, but in the end it’ll probably be the only one left to them. It’s a pathetic excuse for sacrificing a generation of children on the high altar of corporate greed.
