I cannot find a story to confirm this claim.

1. I'm of two minds about him
He's been a total crank when it comes to vaccines/autism, but he's a wonderful champion for the environment.

I'll be interested to see how this particular story pans out.

4. He has worked for years with the people
of WVa who are trying to stop Mountain Top Removal...a movie is coming out on the topic.

Vaccines can have metals in them and affect people differently.

I think DU is now the DLC Underground.

6. Vaccines
The issue isn't whether or not vaccines can affect people differently, because they certainly can. The issue is that RFK Jr cast his lot with the anti-thimerosal fraudsters, and in so doing he seriously damaged his credibility. Except, apparently, among people who will tolerate no questiong of RFK's credibility.

No shit vaccines affect people differently. No one has ever claimed otherwise. But RFK has claimed that Thimerosal is significantly responsible for the autism "epidemic," and on that issue his conclusions are based on nothing more than bandwagon scaremongering.

I think DU is now the DLC Underground.

If you're trying to accuse me of something, why don't you come out and say what's on your mind?
