censorship became the final options. Silencing critics and deploying police powers to force untested medicines upon an unwilling public is not an optimal strategy in a democracy.
My uncle and my father argued that in a free and open society, the response to difficult questions should never be to shut down debate. What we need is science, not censorship. I am not anti-vax. I am pro-safety and pro-science. I want robust, transparent safety studies and independent regulators. These do not seem like the kind of radical demands that should divide our party or our families. As Americans and Kennedys, we ought to be able to have a civil, science-based debate about these legitimate concerns.
CHD Chairman, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., delivers an electrifying speech to advocates at a Sacramento, CA press conference about the passing into law of SB276 & SB714—and asks, “Where are the legal and rational boundaries now that the government can force a medical procedure on children?” He also told the crowd, “Don’t despair. CHD has a plan, we have a strategy and we are going to sue them!”
“Every time there is a loss, we get stronger.” “We are going to win.”
