Address by Robert F Kennedy Jr on Vaccines and Big Pharma

Tony Abbott, Oz PM, pathological liar, corporate lackey and bully emerged from his hole this week with another attack directed at the vulnerable in our community. Slogan crazy Abbott has invented another facile slogan in relation to vaccination, “no jab, no pay,” which primarily targets those least able to defend their rights, people on welfare! Notwithstanding that the vulnerable are Abbott’s favourite targets -- his callousness and corporate affiliations are well known -- this latest action is a clear case of social ‘blackmail,’ which under Oz law remains a crime and those affected should mount a class challenge, via legal aid, on the government.

Reprehensible corporate lackey and moron, Tony Abbott

The fact is that educated, affluent, middle and upper classes are those most likely to decline voluntary vaccination of their otherwise healthy kids, the risks (autism etc) outweigh the benefits with today’s toxic and dangerous vaccines, but what does Abbott and Big Pharma care, it’s corporate profits, not concern for our kids that matter most. Blackmail is far from a caring action!

In the following address given on the California Capitol steps in Sacramento Robert Kennedy Jr. provides an inspired and detailed analysis of the extent to which the powerful pharmaceutical cartel has effectively captured the nation’s scientific, regulatory, and law-making processes.

Combined with the corporate news media’s dependence on drug advertising, this has put big pharma in a position where it is running roughshod over informed choice and dictating vaccine policies that have little-if-any basis in scientific research yet will greatly contribute to that industry’s already gargantuan profits.

This is Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s speech at the SB277 rally that took place in Sacramento, California at the State Capitol on April 8, 2015. Cameras and editing by Joshua Coleman.

Kennedy offers an example of scientist and pediatrician Paul Offit, the developer of the rotavirus vaccine, whose personal stake in vaccine’s development and adoption is emblematic of the monied practices tending to corrupt vaccine science in America today. “In 1999 he sat on the [CDC] committee that added the rotavirus vaccine to the schedule.” Kennedy notes,

At the time he was working on his own rotavirus vaccine. Opening that gateway, by adding that vaccine to the schedule, made his patent extremely valuable. Six years later he sold that patent for $182 million and pocketed about $40 million for himself. So, that kind of financial entanglement by the people to hare deciding what vaccines to add to the schedule makes it difficult, I think, for all of us to think that they only thing they’re thinking of is our children’s health.

All of the barriers that are meant to protect our children–the government, the lawyers, the regulatory agencies, and the press, the checks and balances in our democratic system that are supposed to stand between corporate power and our little children–have been removed, and there’s only one barrier left, and that’s the parents, and we need to keep that in the equation.

"Parents who vaccinate their children should have confidence that they can take their children to childcare without the fear that their children will be at risk of contracting a serious or potentially life-threatening illness because of the conscientious objections of others, Mr Abbott said." Huh!
