Eve here. We have said many times in the comments that we have dumped RFK’s book on Fauci after reading footnotes in the Krapur chapter. Most of the cited research and news reports flat out what they said were abused. Many others have evoked research that was exposed due to poor methodologies and that was an extreme outlier. So it’s not surprising that RFK, Jr., has seen him all the way to his old fake science tricks.

Documents sent to lawmakers in support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to change US policy regarding the Covid vaccine will cite scientific research under unpublished or controversy and measure others.
One health expert passes through the document “Deliberate Medical Incompleteness” on the safety of covid vaccines for children and pregnant women.
“It is disgraceful to members of the Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Baylor College of Medicine council, which is far from the left field.
00 COVID-VAX-FAQ-FINAL
Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist before playing a role in the Trump administration, announced on May 27 that the Center for Control and Prevention no longer recommends bypassing the formal agent process for adjusting vaccine schedules for adults and children. The announcement made on social platform X has met with anger from many pediatricians and scientists.
The HHS document, which was obtained by KFF Health News, aimed at supporting Kennedy’s decision, was felt by members of Congress who questioned the science and process behind his move.
This document does not post Ben on the HHS website, but this is the first detailed description of the pension from a Kennedy agency.
The document, entitled “Covid Recommendations FAQ,” distorts legitimate research and cites others as being contested and unpublished, healthcare experts say.
HHS Communications Andrew Nixon’s director told KFF Health News: “This document does not have any research distortions. The underlying data speaks for itself and raises a legal safety order. Data and science.”
HHS did not respond to requests to name the author of the document.
One of the studies cited by the HHS Document is under investigation by publishers on “potential issues in research methods and conclusions and conflicts of interest for authors,” according to a link to the research web page.
“This is the playbook for RFK Jr.,” said Sean O’Leary, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Infectious Diseases and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We’ve taken Good Science’s Everyher Cherry-Pick or Junk Science and supported his premises. This has been his playbook for 20 years.”
Another study cited in this document is Prepress, which does not have Benpia Livid. Under the title of this study, there is a warning that “it should not be used to guide clinical practice as it reports new medical research that has not yet been evaluated.” The preprint was available a year ago, but Ben has not been featured in the Piarivide Journal.
Blue alerts at the top of preprint studies cited in the HHS Document Information Reader read studies that have not been reviewed. The HHS document misquots the preprint as evidence of myocarditis and pericarditis, which occur only in people who have been given the COVID vaccine, not people infected with the COVID virus. In reality, it was not the focus of the research and did not reach that conclusion.
The FAQ in support of Kennedy’s decision argues that “post-market research” on the Covid vaccine has identified “serious negative effects” with conditions that cause the heart muscle or its coating to be inflamed, such as an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis.
2024 PriPrintis claimed that he only exhibited myocarditis and pericarditis in people who chose to a covid vaccine, not those infected with Covid that circulated on social media. The study had no results between vaccinated and those infected with the covid virus, so one of the study’s co-authors publicly rejected the idea. This study focused only on children and adolescents. The HHS document omitted other review studies from NumberUS that showed greater risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after being covided in individual vaccinated and non-vaccinated at the same risk of complications.
O’Leary said sub-cases of myocarditis were reported in adolescent boys and young men who were vaccinated early in Covid Pandemic, but the rates fell after the two first two Covid vaccines were further apart.
He said that currently un-been adolescents and adults had previously been vaccinated, and that myocarditis would no longer appear in the data, referring to the CDC’s vaccine safety data link. “At this point, the risks we can identify have not increased,” he said.
In two examples, the HHS memo makes an argument that is actively rebutted by the papers cited to back up. Both papers support the safety and efficiency of covid vaccines in pregnant women.
Another paper it cites says that “motivation during pregnancy when taking the vaccine increases placental blood clotting,” according to the HHS document. However, this paper does not include any mention of placental thrombosis or pregnant women.
“I’ve read it three times now, and I can’t find it anywhere,” said Turrentine, Professor OB-Gyn.
If he was gratifying the HHS docs, “I’m ‘F’ing’ this,” Trenine said. “This is not supported by anything and uses no medical evidence.”
While members of the Congress, who are physicists, should know to check references to the paper, Neil Silverman said that he may not spend time doing so with the clinical obstruction and gynecology professor who directs the infection program for pregnancy programs at UCLA’s medical school. “They’re going to assume this comes from a science institution. So they’re being hoodwinked along with everyone else who has access to this document,” Silverman said.
The three-person Republic office in Congress is a doctor who serves on the House and Senate committees focused on health, including Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) did not respond to requests for comment on whether he promoted the note. Emily Leakman, communications director for Rep. Kim Schlie (D-Wash.), a doctor who works for the House Energy Commerce Committee, confirmed that Schlie’s office pressed a copy of the document.
“The problem is a lot of lawmakers, and even the staff, they don’t have the expertise to make these references stand out,” O’Leary said. “But this is, frankly, a much better anti-vaxin propaganda than this.”
CJ Young, assistant communications director for the House Energy and Commerce committee, confirmed that Democrats on the committee received documents from the HHS. In the past, similar documents have been said to help clarify the legitimacy and scope of the administration’s policy changes and may be assumed to be scientifically accurate.
“This feels like a new ground.
On June 4, Rep. Frank Paron (DN.J.) and Schliere introduced a bill that required Kennedy to adopt the official vaccine decision from the Advisory Committee on Vaccination Practices (ACIP). Young said the motivation behind the bill was Kennedy’s decision to reschedule the Covid vaccine without input from ACIP’s vaccine experts, which plays a key role in setting up a CDC policy on vaccine schedules and access.
Kennedy announced on June 9th that he had remapped all 17 members of ACIP at X. He announced eight alternatives for June 11, including those who criticized the vaccine mandate during Covid Pandemic.
