Kenendy Urges Elimination of Potent Neurotoxin From Vaccines

The Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. released a video on social media this week calling upon the Minamata Convention to completely eliminate the use of mercury in vaccines. Kennedy had originally planned to address the convention in-person, but was unable to do so due to the continuing government shutdown. Nevertheless, in his address to the convention, Kennedy urged the members of the convention to cease the use of mercury-based preservatives such as thimerosal in vaccines all throughout the world.

As Kennedy explained, mercury is a potent neurotoxin. And thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative that has never gone through the rigors of evidence-based scientific testing to prove its safety in such intrusive measures as vaccines. Kennedy further specified that safe alternatives to thimerosal exist. And there is no sense in injecting mercury "into the most vulnerable among us".

In the United States, Secretary Kennedy led the department of Health and Human Services to adopt the recommendation in July from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to remove thimerosal, which contains ethyl mercury, from all U.S. based flu vaccines. And as the leader of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, Secretary Kennedy is urging the Minemata Convention to remove thimerosal from vaccines all throughout the world. For it is undisputed that mercury is not acceptable in batteries and over the counter medications. And in fact, the Minemata Convention, itself, is named after a tragedy that occurred involving mercury.

For beginning in 1956, the people of the city of Minamata in Japan began experiencing a surge in severe illnesses, death, and birth defects. This surge resulted from the fish the locals caught in the bay of the city. With the fish, tragically, being severely contaminated with mercury due to the large chemical company, Chisso, dumping its waste product from its chemical manufacturing into the Minemata Bay. The waste product being none other than the neurotoxin, mercury.
