RFK Jr. stirs controversy amid pledge to fight Lyme disease despite prior attacks on vaccine perception

As the prospect of a viable vaccine for Lyme disease approaches, experts feared that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s previous claim that no one would “fight harder” for a treatment than he might not bear out, CNN reported.

During the January 2025 Senate confirmation hearings before Kennedy’s appointment as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, an exchange pertaining to Lyme disease stood out to many who had long contended with the illness.

Kennedy’s sometimes dissonant positions on public health aside, he asserted that he and two of his children had endured the “devastating effects of Lyme disease” firsthand.

“There is nobody who will fight harder to find a vaccine or a treatment for Lyme disease than me,” Kennedy promised. He convened a roundtable HHS discussion on the illness in December, reiterating his stated commitment to improving treatment for affected Americans.

“We’ve got to figure out a way to make it safe for children to go back in the woods again,” he said at the sit-down.

On the other hand, Kennedy’s unconventional views on vaccines routinely run contrary to scientific consensus, and medical experts have warned that his positions undermine trust in preventive medicine and pose a risk to public health.

On March 23, Pfizer and French vaccine company Valneva announced that they would formally seek approval for the first new Lyme disease vaccine in over 20 years, a four-dose regimen that demonstrated efficacy of over 70% in clinical trials.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Strap yourself in…..

1. The only ‘experts’ referred to in this article are adherents to the ‘vaccine’ religion where supposedly ‘vaccines’ are the answer to all of life’s problems.
2. Only an adherent of the ‘vaccine’ religion would state that a person who would ‘fight hard’ for a treatment, but happens to have questions about ‘vaccines’ as dissonant. The two things are not exclusive!  Have we truly lost all ability to reason?
3. The author tips her hand completely by stating that RFK’s views on ‘vaccines’ are contrary to scientific consensus, demonstrating perfectly what is wrong with medicine today. Silly old me still believes that medical decisions should be between patient and doctor and that medical history, genetics, and all manner of issues should be taken into account – not a ‘one size fits all’ dictate where the only real winner is Big Pharma and its stake-holders making a mint off of sick people. Further, there are plenty of experts who hold a contrary view about vaccines, but they were conveniently left out of the article to further the illusion of scientific consensus.
4. Regarding undermining trust in preventative medicine and posing a risk to public health, that’s already been accomplished thanks to the handling of COVID by the very people entrusted with public health on down to the doctors and nurses who blindly followed orders.  Every single thing our public health ‘experts’ said was patently false and killed thousands of people and maimed thousands more.  In fact, many experts are stating the true down wind effects will be felt for decades.   
5. Pfizer and Valneva should be out of business after the COVID clot shot.  The results are in: they failed miserably on every point with these injections that don’t stop transmission or prevent illness, but have caused more adverse reactions than any other vaccine in history.  What an utter farce, and yet……they are still pushing out their products – including a Lyme vaccine if you are foolish enough to ever trust them again and take it.
6. The author obviously neglected to study the bioweaponization issue for herself when she uses Dr. Richard Ostfeld (a scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies who is completely dependent and beholden to government grants to pay his bills and complete his research) to debunk that Lyme was an intentionally created bioweapon.   He is not a bioweaponization expert.  It is now officially on record via declassified documents that our government purposely force-fed ticks pathogens, made them radioactive so they could track them when they dropped them from airplanes and via other forms of release, and has a vested interest in covering this all up via denial.
7. Ostfeld also tips is hand entirely when he states that Lyme can be cleared from your system with antibiotics within a couple of weeks. Talk about a ostrich with his head in the sand. There are thousands upon thousands suffering because the standard treatment failed to work.  He also obviously believes our government is logical and sane and would never do something so mad.

Remember Tuskagee, Dr. Ostfeld?

How about Operation Sea Spray, the NYC Subway experiment, Operation LAC, the AEC experiments, the Vanderbilt ‘Nutrition Study‘ on pregnant women, the radioactive ‘nutrition’ experiments on retarded children, Project Artichoke to study torture (interrogation) and MK-Ultra (mind control) and at least four sub-projects exposing children to radiation for mind control.

Oh – lest we forget a more recent NIH Clinical Trial scandal, which has yet to be rectified where hundreds of New York City orphans were used by government agencies and pharmaceutical companies in deadly AIDS drug trials, where over 200 of them died and others had organ failure, deformities, and brain damage.

So yeah, our government is totally capable of creating and dispersing a bioweapon via ticks.
