Americans Can Handle an Open Discussion on Vaccines—
RFK, Jr. Responds to Criticism from His Family
CHD Note: In early May 2019, Politico Magazine published an article written by three of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s relatives, criticizing his advocacy for safe vaccines. After numerous requests, Politico magazine has refused to publish his response.
By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Three of my Kennedy relatives recently published an article criticizing my advocacy for safe vaccines. Our contentious family dispute highlights the fierce national donnybrook over vaccinations that has divided communities and raised doubts about some of our defining values: abhorrence of censorship, wariness toward excessive corporate power, support for free speech, religious freedom, personal sovereignty over our bodies, and the rights of citizens to decline unwanted government-mandated medical interventions. The debate has also raised questions about the independence of our press and its role as a champion of free speech, and First Amendment rights as a xxxxxx against overreaching by government and corporations.
I love my family and sympathize with their anxieties when I call out government officials for corruption. The Kennedys have a long, close, and continuing relationship with public health agencies so it is understandably difficult for us to believe that powerful regulators would lie about vaccines. “All issues are simple,” the saw goes, “until you study them.”

The Unsolved Mystery of Deaths in Healthy Migrant Children
By the Children's Health Defense Team
This past year, an unprecedented surge in border crossings by unaccompanied minors put the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) on track to detaining the most youth in history.
But in some cases, these children (who were in good health upon arrival in the U.S.) suddenly died.
What might cause a healthy young person in custody to develop fatal symptoms literally from one day to the next? Is it reasonable to investigate whether simultaneous administration of eight shots for 12 diseases at a time—to children who may already have already received the same vaccines—could produce the sorts of serious symptoms that the deceased Central American children experienced?

Update—Oral Arguments Heard in NY Lawsuit to Stop the Repeal of Religious Exemptions
On August 14th, attorneys Michael H. Sussman and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. presented oral arguments on behalf of 55 NYS families, hoping Justice Denise A. Hartman would block a law passed in June or at least issue a preliminary injunction.
Challenging the constitutionality of the legislature’s repeal of the religious exemption to vaccination, they stated that parents who don’t want their children vaccinated will have their First Amendment rights violated if they are forced to do so.
With school less than three weeks away, more than 26,000 NYS families have been thrown into chaos, because their children are barred from school and daycare. Hartman heard an hour of arguments over an injunction, and said she will keep the tight timeline in mind as she deliberates.
A decision has yet to be made.

Common ADHD Medication May Affect White Matter in Boys’ Brains
By Elizabeth Pratt, Healthline
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 6 million children in the US have been diagnosed with ADHD and Methylphenidate (MPH), sold under the brand names Ritalin and Concerta, is the largest class of psychotropic medications prescribed to children for treatment.
Recent research testing the drug in both children and adults, found that while the drug had no impact on adults, it impacts boys' white matter, the part of the brain that is needed for learning, brain function, and communication between different areas of the brain.

Newark Hands Out Bottled Water After Its Filter Program Fails to Fix Lead Problem
By Susan Scutti, CNN
New Jersey has one of the highest autism rates in the U.S. Many children with autism have very high levels of metals, including lead, in their bodies and symptoms consistent with heavy metal toxicity.
Newark, NJ's largest city, began offering bottled water this week to residents who may have been drinking tap water contaminated with lead for months or possibly years. The city "has gradually gone from absolutely denying there are any lead problems to now admitting they have an issue," said Erik D. Olson, drinking water expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Is Acetaminophen Fanning the Flames of Vaccine Injury?
By Dani Lasher, VAXXTER
To understand acetaminophen’s impact, we must understand glutathione peroxidase. This critical sulfur-based antioxidant is naturally produced in our bodies. This is the antioxidant that neutralizes toxins and their by-products to prevent damage to our DNA.
In a nutshell, not having enough glutathione places the human body at serious risk of an adverse event when receiving a vaccine. Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, adds fuel to the fire of vaccination as it wipes out glutathione stores.
Those diagnosed with autism, also have substantially lower levels of serum glutathione.

A Second Look at Vaccination – Answers That Cannot Be Questioned
By Dr. Malcolm Kendrick
"I have to say that I thought long and hard about blogging on vaccination. It is the most brutal area for discussion that I have ever seen, and a reputation shredder. If you even dare to hint that there may just be the slightest issue with any vaccine, people come down upon you like a ton of bricks."
"Others have gone much further than me, others have been braver. But there should be nothing ‘brave’ about asking legitimate scientific questions. As Richard Feynman said. ‘I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.’"

Update on CA SB276 to Limit Medical Exemptions from Vaccinations
Late last week the California Medical Board (CMB) voted 7-4-1 to support SB276, a California bill that, if passed, would limit medical exemptions from vaccinations and route the final decision through the Department of Public Health. It would also force private patient data into a new database.
The bill currently sits in the Suspense file awaiting a California Assembly Appropriations Hearing on August 30th.
