I get it, old news. So, old the internet has almost moved on, except it can’t get out of its’ own way. Sure, Robert Kennedy Jr. filing to challenge Slow Joe Biden is a thing, but there’s another thing: the media framing of Robert Kennedy Jr.
AP’s headline reads: “Anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr. challenging Biden in 2024.”
Robert Kennedy Jr. is an anti-vaccine activist. That’s like saying Jeanne Shaheen is an anti-tax activist for opposing the SCOUTS decision that opened the floodgates for states to milk out-of-state residents for sales taxes. Shaheen never met a tax she didn’t like. And she loves the idea of taxing people who buy things in New Hampshire. But the anti-sales-tax culture in the Granite State forces her to act as if she opposes them.
But anyone who signs off on tripling the federal debt during her tenure in Congress is not anti-tax. They are triple-double-dog-down on taxing people who have not yet been born. She is enslaving future generations who manage to get past her abortion-on-demand gatekeepers.
And Robert Kennedy Jr. is not an anti-vaxxer. He is, however, suspicious of the mRNA injections, the approval process, the lack of transparency, recalibrated messaging (retooling the lies if you prefer), and the mountain of evidence this vaccine is a greater health risk than the flu infection it cannot even prevent.
Search Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and you get swamped with the AP headline or versions of it. ‘Anti-Vaccine Activist.’Vaccine denier. These are outrageous lies told by infantile media whores peddling a political pimp narrative.
And yes, Kennedy has been suspicious of “vaccines” for a while and more so of mandates – but the AP piece is breathless in its attempt to frame him as a patriarch of right-wing conspiracies, which, as we’ve discovered, is just another way of saying truths the media refuses to tell -preferring to peddle the crib notes fed to them by the Biden Administration donor class.
A class that, while Trump was president, was as virulently anti-vaccine as you could be. And here we have a Democrat who distrusts the public health industrial complex and the Medical Corporatism of his fellow libs. Is he a threat to Biden? Not as much of a threat as Biden is to Biden, but unlike stumbling mumbling Joe, Robert Kennedy Jr. has no left-wing backup.
Joe, who has about as much influence in his own administration as a cardboard cut-out with a tape recorder taped to the back, just has to not die and avoid saying something his handlers can’t walk back, and they’ve got the media industrial complex to help them. But Democrat primary voters are not in love with another four years of whoever is running the Biden Administration. They overwhelming want someone else. Robert Kennedy Jr. is someone else, and he’s broken the seventh seal. It is open season for challenging Joe Biden, and you can bet someone else’s property there are Democrats waiting to join that circus. TO be that other “guy.”
So, at the very least, thank you for that.
FYI – Robert Kennedy Jr will be in Hanover, NH, on April 26th to offer remarks on the Pandemic response. He has been added as s special guest to the “College Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates – Scientific, Ethical, and Legal Considerations: A Roundtable Discussion and Dinner Event.”
