Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'I have high hopes for RFK'

GREENE: 'Autism rates are off the charts'

U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia made a statement to the press on December 6^th that was just over a minute long, but long enough for her to be immediately attacked for talking about vaccines and autism and for backing Robert Kennedy, Jr.

This is the Instagram video.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene:

I certainly hope they change because there’s many parents that are demanding for this to be changed.

Let me tell you how hard it is to be a parent of a child where you don’t want your child to get the vaccine.

Autism rates are off the charts. It has risen and risen and risen and risen. It’s the most heartbreaking thing.

Any parent or family member that has watched a child just shut down, close up and disappear as they fade into autism has been just horrified. I don’t have words to describe what that must feel like.

But many parents don’t their children vaccinated at the crazy rate that our government and school systems and all types of organizations require these vaccinations to happen.

And they have to go all over the place looking for pediatricians that will treat their child, be their child’s doctor while they refuse vaccines. That should never happen.

I have high hopes for RFK and that he can get that changed.

It needs to change for all of these parents who are trying to protect their child from what is perceived to be an incredible danger to their health and their lifetime, lifetime health.

Reporter Christian Bone went after Greene on the site, We Got This Covered.

After reading the article, I think they should consider changing their name to WE GOT THIS COVERED UP.

Going after Greene, Bone basically resorts to the lies about autism we heard for the past 20 years.

Dec 6, 2024, We Got This Covered: Conspiracy wretch Marjorie Taylor Greene now says children are ‘fading into autism’ for one preposterous reason, by Christian Bone

A good rule of thumb to bear in mind: Anything Marjorie Taylor Greene claims to be scientific fact is 99.9% sure to be the exact opposite. Case in point, the reprehensible representative from Georgia has gotten herself a new high horse of low morals to clamber onto this week as she’s decided to fall back on that most dangerous of all far-right delusions, one which has become more and more mainstream.

You guessed it — Greene’s tiring Tirade of the Day this Dec. 6 saw her babble about the apparent dangers of vaccines, parroting the deeply offensive and frequently disproven link between vaccines and autism in the process. MTG warned against “dangerous vaccines being pushed on [children] by the government and Big Pharma.”

“Frequently disproven” is another version of the worn out claim, studies show no link, we’ve all heard for years. Of course Bone and the rest of the deniers in the media are untroubled by the reality that the research used to disprove a link between vaccines and the damage we’re seeing in children all comes with a vast web of ties to Big Pharma.

Bone quotes Greene saying, ‘autism rates are off the charts,’ and is seemingly unconcerned about the fact that autism officially now affects three percent of U.S. children and is sure to soar even higher since California currently has a rate of one in 22 children, one in 14 boys and Florida has a rate of almost five percent. Anyone who has trouble with the increases is a “conspiracy wretch,” as he labels Greene.

“Autism rates are off the charts,” MTG alleges in a video interview she posted to X. “It has risen and risen, it’s the most heartbreaking thing.

Bone notes that Greene talked about children losing learned skills and regressing into autism, again, totally untroubled by the prospect. Regression happens to 30 percent of autistic children, but that doesn’t matter to Bone.

Any parent, or family member, who has just witnessed their child just shut down, close up, and disappear as they fade into autism has been just horrified.”

Instead of honestly acknowledging that something is really wrong here, Bone resorts to all kinds of derogatory remarks and personal slurs.

Apart from anything else, this is disappointing stuff from Greene, as it’s such a hoary old trope of a conspiracy theory for her to share. We’re used to the queen of quackery taking traditional MAGA viewpoints and zhuzhing them up with a little of that evil Marj magic to give them her own insane spin — see her belief that democrats control the weather. This is just second, third, fourth-hand ignorance. Derivative derangement.

Bone went back to the British government’s actions against Dr. Andrew Wakefield for calling for research into a link between the MMR vaccine and bowel disease in autistic children. He wrote about this in 1998 after parents came to him claiming this happened to their children after receiving the MMR.

The origins of the erroneous link between autism and vaccines appear to derive from an article published in U.K. medical journal the Lancet in the late 1990s. In it, author Andrew Wakefield claimed that data he collected suggested children who had been administered the measles vaccine began displaying signs of autism shortly afterward. . . .

In his selective coverage of Dr. Wakefield, Bone is either covering up or unaware of the fact that the British government had indemnified the makers of the MMR vaccine for any damage it caused. It was the U.K. government that would have had to compensate these children if a link were clearly shown. It made sense for them to go after Wakefield to stop this from happening.

Now consider that Wakefield’s article was 25 years ago, and since then the autism juggernaut has been unstoppable, with no end in sight. Autism is now a worldwide phenomenon that health officials can’t explain. Likewise, they are never alarmed over the always increasing rate. Without exception, officials have tirelessly tried to convince us that autism is nothing to worry about.

IF Kennedy is able to expose what vaccines are really doing to children, the consequences would be devastating for everyone involved in the longtime denials, namely the vaccine makers, mainstream medicine, medical organizations, institutions, federal and state health agencies, and the media.

This is really the unthinkable for all the major players, but NOW there are so many people speaking out, including well-credentialed doctors and scientists along with the vast number of parents like those Greene talked about. These people are not going away and their numbers will only increase.
