GOP Senator Shares RFK's Concerns over Vaccines

Where is the VAXXED/UNVAXXED study that could settle this controversy once and for all?

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) made a two minute statement after meeting with HHS nominee Robert Kennedy, Jr. on Capitol Hill on Dec 17th.

Tuberville made a rational argument for more research on vaccines. He said ‘Don’t be guessing,’ citing the dramatic increase in the childhood schedule.

That didn’t stop the website Raw Story from attacking him as “anti-vaccine” while adamantly proclaiming that all the science is settled.

MY MESSAGE TO RAW STORY AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MEDIA:

Let’s finally have a study simply comparing the health outcomes of FULLY VACCINATED and NEVER VACCINATED CHILDREN. ONE DONE BY TOTALLY INDEPENDANT RESEARCHERS.

The controversy over vaccine safety could be ended overnight if never vaccinated children have the same rates of AUTISM, ADHD, DIABETES, ALLERGIES, ASTHMA AND SEIZURE DISORDER as fully vaccinated children.

With so many parents now too frightening or too well-informed to vaccinate, the study group is out there. Why hasn’t it been done? Why isn’t the media calling for it?

In truth parents have been asking for a study like this for decades, but health officials refuse to do it.

That in itself is most telling.

Dec 17, 2024, Raw Story: GOP senator: 'Everybody here has lost someone' — possibly from the COVID vaccine

A Republican senator launched into an anti-vaccine rant Tuesday when reporters asked about confirming noted health conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of Health and Human Services. . . .

"What I was excited to hear him about was getting away from guessing, into facts. Do science, get behind the science, stay with it, don't be guessing. That's a lot of what these vaccines have done," said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL). "They haven't been 100 percent proven. If you look at the number of vaccines young babies get over a short period of time, it's dozens and dozens of them. And he's totally against that, he wants to make sure that parents understand the good and the bad and the ugly, instead of just forcing parents to give vaccines to their kids."

"You know, he and I both grew up and we had three vaccines: tuberculosis, polio, and I think smallpox. And that's how much it's grown. Now we give dozens and dozens," he continued.

Raw Story dismissed any possibility that vaccines represent a danger to children citing no sources for their claims. So much for being fair, balanced and unbiased.

Their denial sounded like it was coming from a Pfizer representative.

Vaccines are exhaustively tested for safety, even those approved on an emergency basis such as COVID-19 shots. There is no evidence that the modern vaccine schedule "overwhelms" or "overloads" a baby's immune system. While children are vaccinated against more diseases today than decades ago, vaccines today contain far fewer antigensthan they used to and rely less on live viruses that carry a risk of accidental infection.

‘We don’t all need to be guinea pigs’

The senator then went on to baselessly suggest that "everybody" in the room probably knew someone who died from a COVID-19 vaccine injury. . . .

"At the end of the day he believes that we don't all need to be guinea pigs," Tuberville said, adding of the COVID vaccine, "Everybody in this group has lost somebody ... possibly from the vaccine that were perfectly healthy."
