Speaker 1: All right. I hate that we have to do this, but once we've opened the door,
we have to do it because people are actually starting to follow this guy. Bobby Kennedy
Junior held his completely unhinged health policy roundtable yesterday. I told you, look, look at
this screenshot. I told you about the kooks that were part of this roundtable, including in the
lower left of the screen, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. That's the woman who said everyone you know will
be dead from the vaccine soon and that it's a form of child abuse. And anyway, she's nuts.
At the bottom center, Dr. Joseph Mercola, who's been fined for by the FDA for spreading medical
disinformation and some of the products that he sells. I mean, every single one of these people
I talked to you about yesterday. So Bobby Kennedy holds this event. These are the last people who
should be dictating or even weighing in on health policy in the United States. And Bobby Kennedy
comes up with another bonkers claim, now saying that there is good evidence that vaccine research
is actually responsible for the existence of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, RSV, Lyme disease, and
even the Spanish flu. I will tell you, before even playing the clip that this is not true, but I'm
going to play it for you. We are going to discuss it. These assertions that Bobby Kennedy makes with
absolutely no hesitation or shame whatsoever are incorrect and potentially dangerous.
Speaker 2: Let's listen. And you know, we need it. I will end all gain of function research. I will
I will sign a treaty. And I cannot function research for, you know, to get all the nations
and get a function research. It's just a disaster. And it's given us no benefit. It's given us,
you know, everything from Lyme disease to COVID and many, many other diseases that RSV, which
is now one of the biggest killers of children and out of, you know, a vaccine lab. You know so well.
And we can go down a whole list of diseases that you know, down to. And there's good evidence that
even Spanish flu. Aim from AXA vaccine and vaccine research. And, you know, we don't know and we'll
probably never know. But the you know, they're very, very strong articles suggesting that.
Speaker 1: Super strong articles. Now it just so happens everything that he said there is untrue.
This just isn't true. And you have, you know, these other vectors of medical disinformation
nodding along. And none of those things are true. I mean, HIV is a virus that attacks the
immune system. It can cause AIDS. It's transmitted through certain bodily fluids. It was not caused
by vaccine research. It originated from zoonotic transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus.
Simian, of course, referring to monkeys. That that's HIV. It's not a result of vaccine research.
RSV is a virus that causes respiratory infections that can be particularly serious in young kids.
I have friends who have had kids in the hospital, in ICUs with RSV. It's spread through droplets in
the air or on surfaces. And it is not caused by vaccine research. It was not created by vaccine
research. Lyme disease. Lyme is a bacterial infection, not a virus transmitted by ticks.
It can cause rash, fever, fatigue, headaches. It can be chronic. Extensive scientific studies have
looked at Lyme, and its origins are completely unrelated to vaccine research. They have to do
with ticks and and mice. And there is so much research on Lyme. And then Spanish Flu was indeed
a pandemic caused by a strain of H1N1 influenza, a virus flu infected about a third of the world's
population in the late 19 tens killed up to 50 million people. The exact number there are
different estimates, but up to 50 million is a is a good estimate and believed to have originated
from birds and spread through human contact. Now, by the way, the Spanish flu, 1918, not 1917,
the way Trump says there was not a flu vaccine at the time. The first flu vaccine was developed in
the thirties and introduced in 1938, nearly 20 years after the Spanish flu. So this stuff just
isn't true. And every time we talk about it, some people will write to me and they'll say, David,
this is so minor. What about Bobby Kennedy's views on wars or this or that? These beliefs
and the willingness to spread this stuff is uniquely disqualifying when someone wants to
be president of the United States, that it's it's not a question of how much does Bobby Kennedy want
to talk about this versus not versus other people talking about it or forcing him to talk about it
or whatever. These are uniquely disqualifying views. And by the way, these aren't the only
concerning views that Bobby Kennedy Jr holds. So health policy panel, even I told you it would
be unhinged. It was even more unhinged than I expected it to be. And these are simply lies.
