(13,685 posts)This thread is about the worst of DU. Yes, it rarely gets worse, but a few times it does.
As you can see the attacks on RFK have no merit, and no science backing. When presented with the fact that Mercury is a toxic, all kinds of excuses come flying off the keyboards of the mob who drool over attacking RFK any chance they get.
Take this as an apology from me, everyone, for the nonsense exhibited by some posters in this thread. But make note of those posters for they cause problems elsewhere on DU.
And here is a report and link for anyone looking for the TRUTH about RFK as regards this delicate matter:
Here is RFK being quoted at link posted
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told me that the book he commissioned has a chapter we were going to leave out, because its so controversial, but the evidence is so strong that thimerosal causes autism, that hes keeping it in.
Yet in the next breath he said he wasnt going to publish the book (even though it has a publisher and is going through edits right now) because it is so explosive that he doesnt want it to prompt a mass panic: I dont want parents to stop vaccinating their kids. (Im pro-vaccine, he insisted several times during the call.)
