ABC News Hit Piece on RFK, Jr. Illuminates the Vaccine Religion
Jeremy Hammond Weighs in Against ABC "News"
Like the Daily Beast, ABC News has put out a mindless hit piece on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in response to the announcement of his candidacy for president. The article, written by Laura Romero and titled “Some experts fear rise in medical misinformation following RFK Jr.’s presidential announcement”, is a useful example of how professional propagandists masquerade as journalists, doing policy advocacy instead of journalism.
Indeed, the article illuminates how the mainstream media perpetually refuse to substantively address any of the countless legitimate concerns people have about vaccines and instead proclaim official dogma in service to the high priesthood of the vaccine religion.
The term “anti-vaccine” appears three times in just the first two paragraphs. Kennedy is “an anti-vaccine activist”; “one of the most prominent faces of the anti-vaccine movement”; the founder of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), “known mainly for its anti-vaccine efforts.”
As usual, the term “anti-vaccine” is then euphemistically equated with “misinformation” because, to the faithful adherents to the religion, it is axiomatic that any information that doesn’t align with their dogma that vaccines are “safe and effective” must be untrue.
Children’s Health Defense, Romero tells us, was “kicked off Instagram and Facebook last year for spreading misleading claims about vaccines and other public health measures.”
Tellingly, throughout the entire article, Romero doesn’t bother to identify even a single claim from Kennedy or CHD that isn’t true. Instead, she lazily expects her readers to accept the false premise that social media companies like Facebook never ban anybody for telling the truth on the false pretext of having spread “misinformation”.
