ONE. MORE. TIME... @RobertKennedyJr once compared vaccinations to the Holocaust, Dr. Jay. His rhetoric today is only slightly less inflammatory.https://twitter.com/JayGordonMDFAAP/status/1139045878562340865 …

Olmsted further quoted RFK Jr.: "The enablers may not belong in Nuremburg, but they do belong in jail, Bobby said. 'I would do a lot to see Paul Offit and all these good people behind bars,' he said, after listing Offit’s litany of lies and profit." 6/

Olmsted continued his report on RFK Jr.'S keynote address: "Just to make sure people got the point, he [RFK Jr.] returned to it in his speech. 'Is it hyperbole to say they should be in jail? They should be in jail and the key should be thrown away.'" 7/

Amusingly, the link to Olmsted's article on
@ageofautism now returns a blank page. Apparently, RFK Jr. didn't like his being quoted as advocating locking up his enemies nearly 3 years before@realDonaldTrump led chants of "Lock her up!" 8/Show this thread -
The removal of Dan Olmsted's post quoting
@RobertKennedyJr was fast, too, before the almighty Wayback Machine could archive it. So my post, and a handful of other contemporaneous sources are the only remaining documentation of RFK Jr.'S vile call. 9/ http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/collideascape/2013/06/01/is-robert-f-kennedy-jr-anti-science/ …Show this thread -
But that's not all. More recently,
@RobertKennedyJr was taking a page out of antivaxer Jock Doubleday's playbook. 10/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/02/27/bogus-challenges-to-prove-the-scientific-consensus-the-m-o-of-a-crank …Show this thread -
RFK Jr. also likes to attack pro-science advocates as misogynists who hate mothers. 11/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2007/06/21/robert-f-kennedy-jr-has-declared-a-crank-1/ …

When I call
@RobertKennedyJr "antivaccine," it's because he's richly earned the title from his long history of promoting antivax misinformation, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories. 12/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/12/15/robert-f-kennedy-jr-anti-vaccine-not-fiercely-pro-vaccine/ …Show this thread -
I mean, come on,
@JayGordonMDFAAP! What else would you call someone who's likened vaccination to death camps and the Holocaust and advocated throwing vaccine advocates in jail? "Antivaccine" is the perfect word to describe@RobertKennedyJr. 13/13Show this thread
