The one where we stop vaccinating children and RFK salivates over milk
So, in yesterday’s top health news…
RFK & Vaccines
RFK is at it again. A vaccine advisory panel, gutted and replaced by Captain Croak himself, is expected to recommend delaying the Hep B shot to children until they are 4 years old.
The vote will take place in Atlanta on Thursday.
What could go wrong (?), you might ask.
Well, Hep B is transmitted through fluids either during sex or intravenous drug use. Sure. But it can also be transmitted during childbirth.
Those pushing this through say that they can test the mother for the disease, but actual experts counter that many of these tests can be unreliable with mixed results.
In fact, the CDC estimates half of people with hepatitis B do not know they are infected.
Meanwhile, automatic vaccination of newborns within 24 hours of birth has dropped the case rates by NINETY NINE percent in people under 19 years old since 1990.
Additionally, that same panel will also discuss and vote on recommendations for the combined measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine, and COVID vaccines.
Follow the Milk
On Sep 9th, RFK’s Make America Healthy Again commission presented its plan to combat childhood disease, which included the “broken food pyramid.”
Per the Gravelly Grifter, it is “one of the greatest sources of misinformation in modern American history.”
Now, I’m all for updating our science, and don’t get me started on how much of a farce most of our current health and nutrition guidelines are. I’ll rant to y’all one day about how we got to the point in society where protein is so damned expensive.
But for now, part of RFK’s agenda? Pushing whole milk.
And guess what? It’s probably a good idea.
The new studies coming out have shown that while whole milk is high in saturated fat, it’s not the leading or sole cause of heart disease, obesity, or a myriad of other health issues. In fact, the studies that tried to make that link were dubious at best: studies that didn’t take into account other things in the testee’s diets, very few studies to begin with, and a weaker understanding of saturated fats in the first place…
The problem is, the current science refuting this is ALSO new and dubious at best and merits (read: requires) more research.
But RFK is jumping all over it and pushing the agenda, for what I would imagine are two reasons:
First, this gets him one step closer to his “drink raw milk” message. Two, it continues to sow distrust in our standing health organizations. The latter sets himself up as a new authority while the masses scramble, and I just posted today about how the whole POINT of RFK as our HHS secretary isn’t competency… it’s chaos.
RFK Jr.'s whole milk that he will push will most likely not be pasteurized. He is against pasteurization of milk. Just another way to kill children and adults.
