Joe Rogan Experience #1999 - Robert Kennedy Jr.

Joe Rogan opens by describing how he reversed his own dismissive view of Robert Kennedy Jr. after reading 'The Real Anthony Fauci.' Kennedy recounts how he moved from environmental litigation over mercury pollution into vaccine-safety work after mothers of disabled children pressed him to read the science. He argues that vaccines were granted liability immunity in 1986, are not subjected to placebo-controlled safety trials, and correlate with the post-1989 explosion in chronic disease and autism. The conversation ranges across glyphosate, the COVID response, ivermectin, the Pfizer trial data, agency capture by the pharmaceutical industry, and pharmaceutical TV advertising. Kennedy closes with his political platform: rebuilding the middle class, ending forever wars including Ukraine, and projecting economic rather than military power abroad.

• Psychologist Sarah Bridges drove to RFK's home and left an 18-inch stack of studies on his porch; her son Porter was awarded $20M by the vaccine court for autism.

• Kennedy obtained transcripts of the secret 1999 'Simpsonwood' CDC meeting and published excerpts in Rolling Stone.
  00:28:47
• He says CDC epidemiologist Verstraeten's first data run showed an 11.35x elevated autism risk in kids who got the hepatitis B vaccine in their first 30 days.
  00:56:22
• Chronic disease in kids went from roughly 6% in the 1960s to over 54% today, with autism rising from about 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 34.
  01:09:24
• In the Pfizer trial, 1 covid death in the vaccine group vs 2 in placebo yielded the '100% effective' claim, while all-cause mortality was worse in the vaccine group.
  02:11:35
• Kennedy claims nearly 50% of FDA's budget comes from pharma and NIH scientists can pocket royalties capped at $150,000/year for life on products they work on.
  02:21:30
• He says no one has agreed to debate him in 18 years, and once flew to a Connecticut statehouse debate to find four empty chairs.
  02:30:24

• RFK's Hudson River work sued over 500 polluters and forced nearly $5 billion in remediation; the Hudson is now the richest waterway in the North Atlantic.
  00:07:21
• Kennedy states mercury is a thousand times more neurotoxic than lead and thimerosal was added to vaccines in 1932.
  00:21:34
• He cites a Guinea-Bissau study finding girls who got the DTP vaccine were ten times more likely to die over the next months, not of the target diseases.
  00:32:59
• The Guyer study (CDC/Johns Hopkins, 2000) attributed the 80% 20th-century drop in infectious-disease deaths mainly to nutrition and sanitation, not vaccines.
  00:37:42
• An atrazine study allegedly turned male frogs into females producing fertile eggs at exposure levels below EPA's human-acceptable limits.
  01:25:08
• Kennedy argues most 1918 Spanish Flu deaths were bacterial pneumonia, possibly vaccine-induced, citing a 2008 Fauci paper.
  01:52:54
• Athlete deaths on playing fields averaged about 29 per year for 30 years; Kennedy says post-vaccination it became roughly 29 per month.
  02:18:53
• Kennedy's son left law school and a summer job to fight in Ukraine as a machine gunner with the Foreign Legion during the Kherson offensive.
