Robert F. Kennedy Junior parachuted into Oregon the other day, to pontificate against proposed pro-vaccination legislation. He showed legislators a video that propounded discredited anti-vaccination theories. He plans to take his anti-vaccine road show to at least five other states.
I'm not a terribly scrupulous person when it comes to touting my own causes. I've asked people with a mere bachelor's degree to testify as "experts" on my side on environmental issues.
But RFK Jr. managed to limbo below even my not-lofty standards. Look below the lurid orange knot for more details and a link.
RFK Jr. also brought an engineer with him, name of Hooker, who published research into the CDC's cover-up of links between vaccination and increased autism in black kids.
But Hooker's "research" was recently retracted because its flawed methods failed to meet scientific standards.
Parading the author of a retracted study, for goodness' sake?
RFK Junior, please say it ain't so.
And take your video, your engineer and his retracted study back to your own darned state and let Oregon pass its own laws.
