Sage Gets Bullied by RFK, Jr.

Publisher plays along with bogus vaccine study done by anti-vax minions

UPDATE: After publishing this, reporting revealed that RFK, Jr., also asked Pennsylvania to remove two recent measles deaths from the CDC tally. We cannot trust our science institutions, we can’t trust the CDC, and thanks to Sage and others, we can’t trust independent scientific publishers to stand up for themselves in the face of political meddling.

Brian Hooker is the chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), the organization that started out in 2007 as the World Mercury Project. It was the same year Jenny McCarthy amplified the Wakefield fraud and its claims about thimerasol as a preservative linked to autism.

Some years later, RFK, Jr., joined the board of the WMP, changed its name to CHD, and used CHD to fund his rise to power and become Secretary of Health and Human Services, where he has been undermining vaccine policy as much as he possibly can.

RFK, Jr., and Hooker are tight, working in conjunction many times over the years. As Wikipedia states it, Hooker “is known for promoting the false claim that vaccines cause autism.” He has no medical degree.

Neil Miller is a self-proclaimed “medical research journalist” with no scientific degrees. He is mainly known for running the ThinkTwice Global Vaccine Institute (domain currently available for purchase).
