Conor here: while the yeast of Josephson’s argument sounds true, he would have to disagree with the argument that he is Bobby, Donald and friends who embark on this effort to “disapprove of the disadvantaged.” That is a bipartisan phenomenon, and one that has been happening for some time. RFK Jr. and the rest of the administration walk it to another level, but did not appear simply with this administration. Finally, the following publication only mentions Covid once in relation to RFK Jr.’s criticism of vaccines. One could argue that it should present much more prominently:

By Paul Josephson, Emeritus Professor of History at Colby College and author of 15 books, with 40 years of experience working in archives in Russia, Europe and the United States on the political history of modern science. Originally published in Common Dreams.
Charles Fremont Dight has been reincarnated in the brain of Bobby Kennedy, Jr., a medical professor at the University of Minnesota, Dight hoped to free the society of its unable members. Dight, an eccentric who lived for a while in a tree house, written about these people not suitable in publications such as “Increased the non -apt, a social threat” and “an adequate function of society is to control reproduction.” Like other Eugenists, Dight believed in stronger immigration laws to keep foreigners not suitable, but emphasized, not people of Anglo -Saxon “stock”, outside the country. In 1933, Dight wrote a letter to Adolf Hitler praising Fuhrer’s efforts to “eliminate mental inferiority.”
Eugenics, a conventional science at the beginning of the 20th century, sought restrictive marriage laws, isolation of the “not suitable” in special colonies for “weak mentalities” and forced sterilization to protect the citizen’s society. Recent immigrants with poor English, children who had what are now recognized as learning disabilities, American Down syndrome, and many others ran the risk of parading before the Eugenics courts during the summer and sent to isolation colonies. Once removed from society, the Eugenists affirmed, those with better blood lines would be released from their burden to take care of them.
An eugenic discrimination record
Bobby Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has embarked on policies that are terribly similar to those of the Eugenists: come to identify and dislike prejudices, serve and serve yy, and, pseudosciences. Bobby Jr. wants to identify citizens with autism and place them in a child or registration. I have ordered the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to Build “A Real-World Data Platform Enabling Advanced Research Across Claims Data, Electronic Medical Records, and consu and Determine depermary and Determine, and Determine Determarder, and Give Bobby and His Team of Autism Falsifiers Data Drawn from Public and Private Sources in Violation of Federal Privacy and Security Rules.
The HSS database, such as Eugenicists, will be subjective and impressionist. The American Eugenists built a record for not suitable in the Eugenics Registry Office (ERO) in Cold Spring Harbor, New York under director Harry Laughlin. Laughlin and his poorly trained henchmen gathered index cards on American families, or from a superficial view towards a person’s face and career, to the creation of genetic family trees. The Ero believed that they had demonstrated a large number of people carrying hereditary diseases that could be identified to be isolated or sterilized; 80,000 Americans were sterilized.
Racism and pseudoscience in HHS
Bobby Jr. shares the eccentricities and racism of Eugenists. The whale skull that is located on the beach is cut near the Kennedy complex in the port of Hyannis, equipped because it likes to study skulls and animal skeletons, tied it to the roof of the family car and took it back to New York, while the range “Balleneden. Intelligence hierarchy with native Americans and black disturbing violence against them.
Based on Morton’s thesis, racist scientists and eugenists documented the lack of mental action among African Americans. They directed the black special diseases and susceptibilities, one from Thich, Drapetomania, led the slaves to flee from the cruel owners; Another syphilis ordered as a “black disease.” These racists believed that blacks have a higher pain tolerance and the weakest lungs that could be strengthened through forced labor (slavery). Bobby Jr. states that black people have a stronger immune system than whites and, therefore, should receive vaccines during a different time. He noted that “to private antigens, blacks have a much stronger reaction.” Bobby Jr. has said that African AIDS is a completely different disease from Western AIDS, and reiterates the fiction that HIV does not cause AIDS.
Another leg in the Eugenista program was anti -immigrant laws. The director of Ero, Laughlin testified to the United States Congress in support of the 1924 Immigration Law and its restrictions on admission to the United States of “races” considered inferior to Anglo’s actions. On the basis of Flaed data, Laughlin told Congress that recent immigrants from the south and east of Europe were “without inadequate social”, and tended to “degeneration, lack of change, alcoholism and insubordination”, everything that was supposedly genetic. The law of 1924 was easily approved by President Calvin Coolidge, who believed that “the United States must remain American” and that “biological laws show that Nordics are held when mixed with other races.”
It is not surprising that Donald Trump selected Bobby Jr. to direct HHS. Trump committed his first presidential campaign commenting with conviction that Mexican immigrants were drug traffickers and rapists. Trump is based on the work of the criminal anthropologist Cesare Lombroso and the racial hygienists of Nazi Germany, where a person’s genes or bloodline determine their ability to success or violence. Trump said: “You know, now, a murderer, I think this is in his genes.” But the Trump family has good genes, although their convictions for sexual and financial crimes can offer evidence of counter: “We are intelligent people … We are like racing horses.” During their ongoing campaign against undocumented foreigners and citizens with foreign sound names, Trump ordered the White South Africans to receive asylum in the United States, but not Afghan who fought for Otermeman, Mexicans, Mexicans, Mexicans. “
The pseudoscience of autism caused by Mercury
The entire premise of the Bobby Registry is the totally discredited statement that vaccines cause autism which is based on a retracted and discredited study of 1998 by Andrew Wakefield that linked the measles vaccine, papers and rubella (MMR) with autism. Wakefield combed their data, eliminated some children who didn’t fit, and Carffly included others. In addition, his investigation was founded by lawyers who acted for parents who participated in demands against vaccine manufacturers.
Like Dight, Laughlin and other Eugenists, Bobby is and incorporate the data so that they fit their predetermined and erroneous conclusions that vaccines cause autism. In an article, Bobby, “he said that the amount of ethyl mercury in vaccines was 187 times greater than the recommended limit, when it was only 1.4 times higher.” The study cited a study to affirm that tuna sandwiches mixed with mercury feed on two monh babies. There is none of that in the study.
Eugenics and the decline of public health
Bobby’s strange fake science combination will exacerbate public health crises such as the ongoing measles epidemic as confused parents deny children vaccines that save lives. Bobby Jr. hates vaccines. He referred to the COVID-19 vaccine as “the most fatal vaccine ever made.” The vaccine perhaps saved up to 20 million lives. Kennedy has said that only drink raw milk. Doing doing people at risk of food transmitted diseases, since pasteurization kills pathogens. Drinking it can increase the risk of propagation of aviar flu. Bobby wants to eliminate the fluoride from drinking water and claims bone cancer, loss of intellectual coefficient, thyroid disease and other things can result from its use. This is false. Fluoride prevents cavitions.
Kennedy’s manufactures about autism, mercury and other issues remember the wrong work of Eugenicist Henry Goddard. Goodard was the Research Director of the New Jersey Vineland Training School for weak girls and boys. He opened an early clinical laboratory to study intellectual disabilities. Tracking the lineage of one of their young patients and building its family tree back to the revolutionary war, Goddard concluded that intelligence and morals were hereditary, and everything possible should be the weak mentality group “lately mentality”. His study on the “Kallikaks” (1912) used photos touched to show the Kallikaks as lower creatures.
Always stalking in the minds of this Maga government are racist scientific ideas about innate breeding and intelligence; about immigrants’ evils; And about the need to revitalize science away from the rigorous hypothesis and evidence towards conspiracy, pseudoscience and eugenics. The Bobby Eugenics Registry success in the stigmatization of people, as young people, the way in which the topographs eugmatized stigmatized the “weak mind”. Perhaps the registration will confirm what is fine: that the growing number of people identified with autism is to a large extent to do with greater detection and greater identification of people with autism. There is no epidemic. But, as a good eugenicist, he has determined his conclusions before the study begins.
Happy measles, all! Or, as Donald Trump says, he only hires the best people.
