22. You guys don't realize that Kennedy has a following of autism moms
Tue Apr 22, 2025, 01:08 PM
Apr 2025

Millions of autistic moms have been following him for years. That’s how he got his 10% ratings in some states in the primaries. Trump wanted him for that 10% of voters.

In 2007 when Kennedy worked with River Keepers cleaning up mercury from the Hudson River - autistic moms contacted him because they believed mercury in kids vaccines & teeth contributed to their kids autism. He wasn’t really interested but they said they were not taking no for an answer. So on 2007, the World Mercury Project was born and Kennedy became the chairman of the World Mercury Project - looking at Mercury that was then used in childhood vaccines . Around 2013 - that agency turned into Children’s Health Defence run by moms of autistic kids. Kennedy chaired CHD for 8 yrs. CHD has millions of autistic moms following Kennedy.

Like them or not, CHD has millions in funding from subscribers, puts out many daily podcasts on autism and has an Autism bus that travels around the US meeting parents of autistic kids & the kids at each stop., They put kids pictures on the walls of the bus from each stop they make.

Mercury was removed from childhood vaccines but CDC on their website says it’s still in multi dose flu vaccines. There are about 6 or 7 flu vaccines so I think it’s a good idea to ask your pharmacy for the mercury free ones. Aluminum is the adjuvant that has taken mercury’s place in dead virus vaccines. Live virus vaccines like MMR do not need aluminum.

CDC- https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccine-safety/thimerosal.html

“ Thimerosal is an ethyl mercury-based preservative used in vials that contain more than one dose of a vaccine (multi-dose vials) to prevent germs, bacteria and/or fungi from contaminating the vaccine.”
