Showing Original Post only (View all)Robert F Kennedy Jr compares childhood vaccines to Nazi Death Camps... [View all]
So Bobby Kennedy was the keynote speaker at this year's anti-vaccination insanity conference (otherwise known as Autism One). A gathering point of everything wrong in the world of medicinal science (Last year's keynote was Jenny McCarthy.).
Age of Autism, the kings of anti-vaccine bullshit, hasn't made the video of the keynote public yet, but that didn't stop them from sharing thoughts from Bobby on vaccines. Unfortunately, Bobby Kennedy buys into the horrendous autism conspiracy theory to the core.

For a taste of what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in his keynote address at this years event, lets go to a post at the Age of Autism website, written by its managing editor, who reports:
...
Paul Offit, for those not in the know, is, as his Wikipedia page describes him, an American pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases and an expert on vaccines, immunology, and virology. He is an outspoken critic of the anti-vaccine movement and an author of numerous books challenging their claims. (Amy Wallace wrote a great profile on him for Wired in 2009.)

Tremendous amount of respect for Kennedy was just flushed away.
