One definition of capacity refers to leadership: legal qualification, competency, power, or fitness. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has the role of Secretary of Health and Human Services, and he has angered and upset people. Why?
At one time Kennedy was involved, as a lawyer, in environmental issues. Parents of vaccine injured children approached him and asked that he look into vaccines. And so, he began to study vaccine safety.
Kennedy has discovered that no vaccine was ever tested for safety against a placebo. Vaccines are tested for effectiveness. The MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine was tested against a previous measles vaccine.
Sometimes a child is given multiple vaccines on the same day. There are no safety tests looking at a combination of vaccines given concurrently.
Recently a study that looked at the health of vaccinated children vs. unvaccinated children has come to light. Senator Ron Johnson submitted the study into the record at a Senate hearing. You can find the study here.
A documentary about this study, An Inconvenient Study, has recently been released. It is available to watch online here.
Kennedy is in a difficult situation. How do you go back and fix safety issues when the medical establishment has trusted the safety of vaccines without verifying? In medical school doctors spend about one hour on vaccines. They have given over the issue of safety to the pharmaceuticals and FDA.

That is really interesting and helpful information. Thank you for sharing this.
It is my hope that parents will pursue information about vaccines, the risks and benefits.
It’s a tough decision.
Thanks for sharing Carol.
