According to him, this discovery triggered a wave of panic in the industry. A secret meeting reportedly took place in Simpsonwood, Georgia, attended by 72 representatives from organizations such as the CDC, FDA, WHO, vaccine manufacturers, and academic researchers. Kennedy claims that the meeting was intended to discuss Verstraeten’s findings while preventing their disclosure. He said he obtained the full minutes of the meeting, which he published in Rolling Stone and on his website.
He also disputes the studies supposedly conducted to refute this connection. He specifically cites the name Paul Thornson, which is frequently used by the CDC but which he calls fraudulent. Thornson is now wanted by Interpol for embezzlement. Kennedy says that despite these facts, the study was never retracted, which he believes reveals the CDC’s lack of transparency.
Another key point of his speech was the lack of placebo-controlled trials on the 72 vaccines administered to children. He explained that none of these vaccines underwent a rigorous scientific protocol before being approved. He said he asked Fauci during a meeting at the White House to provide him with the studies, but no documents were provided. After more than a year of legal proceedings, the authorities finally admitted that they had no such studies.
Robert Kennedy Jr. also questions the effectiveness of the CDC-administered Immunization Adverse Event Surveillance System (VAERS). He claims it only captures about 1% of actual adverse events. He sees an urgent need to create a functioning and independent surveillance system, which he intends to establish with funding from the Department of Health and Human Services and the support of data management experts.
Without ruling out other avenues, he also cites dietary factors, air and water pollution, certain medications, and educational methods as possible environmental factors. He cites a study on the Amish of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in which only three cases of autism were found, all in children who were adopted and vaccinated before their arrival. Without widespread vaccination, no incidence of autism would have been detected in this population, according to the presented results.
He emphasizes the role of mitochondrial stress in neurodevelopmental diseases and notes that several factors of our modern lifestyle contribute to this cellular deterioration, including diet and certain medications.
Kennedy ultimately describes the pharmaceutical industry as a “criminal cartel” and denounces the billions in fines paid for defective products, with the exception of vaccines, which are protected by a legal disclaimer. He cites the case of the drug Vioxx, which is marketed despite its lethal cardiovascular effects, as an example of an industry capable of sacrificing safety for profit.
He announced his intention to lift this legal immunity in order to force manufacturers to take responsibility for the effects of their products. Only true responsibility can guarantee more cautious behavior and greater safety for patients.
