Only 3 of the vaccines "ever" had that in it.

Even of it were a series of shots, that's still not getting you to 187, let alone 400, tines the approved amount.

Now, is he saying I'm anti vax, don't take vaccines?

No.

Is he promoting the incorrect idea that vaccines are not to be trusted, are poisonous, and people should question their use?

Yes.

So although he could claim he's never been explicitly antivax he has clearly promoted/supported the antivax conspiracy idea.

"Just four days after a correction [in Rolling Stone and Salon] confirmed that his story had misstated the levels of ethylmercury infants had received—it was actually “40 percent, not 187 times, greater than the EPA’s limit for daily exposure to methyl mercury”—Kennedy told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough"

But ethylmercury and methylmercury are different in significant ways: https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/v ... thimerosal

Makes me wonder was he conflating the two or were the reporters? It's all very sloppy and gives credence to legit anti-vaxxers.

America’s maximal level of interest in and engagement with RFK Jr, summarized.

I have no interest in him as a candidate, but it takes balls to claim in front of congress you are not anti-vax when that is almost universally how the he is portrayed in the media.
portrayed in the media is a stretch. they use his own videos where he states he stops random people and tells them not to take vaccines. he said how covid was made to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese

"Kennedy said his point in noting that some ethnic groups were more susceptible to COVID-19 than others was a "proof of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons."

To support that argument, for which there is no hard evidence that anyone is developing such weapons, he cited a slew of media reports, including Chinese accusations — dismissed by U.S. authorities — that America is making race-specific bioweapons.

That's fucked up. Did he really say that? That sounds like exactly the type of thing that reporters selectively quote to mislead.

I don't think he says that in the linked video. In the context of discussing a book he is writing on bioweapons, he said that there is an argument that COVID-19 is an ethnically targeted bioweapon because it effects different races differently or can be thought of as a proof-of-concept that such a thing is possible due to it's differing effects depending on the structure of the ACE2 binders which is genetically determined. He's not saying it is, but speaking in the theoretical. In fact there are studies that show it is less deadly to folks of certain ethnic heritages, that Chinese people are one of the less effected groups, and China is actively developing these types of bioweapons. I'm not implying it's true that COVID is a failed bioweapon, but I agree with him it's not an absolute zero chance possibility given the presence of Chinese military scientists working side by side with civilians at the WIV lab. Where he does veer into conspiracy is when he states US labs in UKR were doing similar research. The only evidence of that comes from Russian propaganda and far-right loonies.

RFK Jr., pro-vaccine hero of the anti-vacxine movement since 2005.

Also, his definition of "censored" is that someone disagreed with him.

Get thee to the White House!!!
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
