Robert Kennedy (RFK Jr) has been a parasite on the autism community for decades. In that time he has failed to impress on scientific acumen and integrity. Recent news articles have shown Mr. Kennedy to make very questionable choices. Such as leaving a dead bear cub in central park and transporting the head of a dead whale on the roof of his car. But a story out today, if true, shows Mr. Kennedy to be beyond weird. He may be a slimy creep.
Recently, a journalist was put on leave for having a relationship with Mr. Kennedy. The “relationship” is reported in a few outlets (e.g. here at the NY Post) and I’m not going to reprint the details. So, he cheats on his wife. Well, America decided that’s no big deal when they elected Donald Trump as president. So, why do I claim Mr. Kennedy is a creep?
A recent story reports that Mr. Kennedy has been carrying on affairs with at least three women at his charity, “Children’s Health Defense”. CHD is the descendent of the “mercury militia” orgs of the past. Who are the women involved? Are they autism moms?
Do I find these accusations plausible? There have been rumors for a long time that the charlatans preying financially on autism moms at the “conferences” they hold have taken advantage of these same autism moms. And, frankly, if true the idea is worse than creepy.
But here’s the thing. Yes, charlatans have been bilking autism families out of money, a lot of money, for decades. Yes, there are rumors that the “luminaries” of the anti-vaccine movement have taken advantage of vulnerable autism moms. And these stories will make the news. But these “luminaries” have been behind promoting (directly or indirectly) fake “therapies” that amount to nothing less than the abuse of disabled children. And, for some reason, that doesn’t make news.
