Gosh, I'm just glad the 2024 Democrats paid careful attention to the tens of millions of antiwar Samaritans, pacifists, and pro-Palestine volunteers in the US, caring more for 350m Americans of all denominations and not just 7.2m Israeli Jews, securing 7,371,247 progressive voters (and a Democratic incumbency) on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, or else we might be living in a horrible, oligarch-dominated fascist country today.

New evidence casts doubt on RFK Jr testimony before Senate

... Kennedy repeatedly said 2019 Samoa trip had nothing to do with vaccines'. An email from his then colleague says they were on a vaccine-related mission'

New evidence has emerged that Robert F Kennedy Jr was on a vaccine-related "mission" when he visited Samoa ahead of a deadly measles outbreak in 2019, raising further questions about whether the US health secretary lied to the US Senate when he said the trip had "nothing to do with vaccines".

Records obtained by the Guardian show Kennedy's colleague told Samoan officials in an email that he and Kennedy were coming as part of a mission to study the island nation's medical records in the aftermath of a "discontinuity in vaccinations".

"We all look forward to the opportunity to be of service to the people of Samoa with our mission," Dr Michael Graven wrote.

Kennedy was at the time serving as chair and chief legal counsel of Children's Health Defense, a non-profit group known for its anti-vaccine activism. Graven was the group's chief information officer. Spokespeople for Kennedy at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) did not respond to messages seeking comment. ...

At his Senate confirmation hearing last year, he said: "You cannot find a single Samoan who will say I didn't get a vaccine because of Bobby Kennedy." Instead, he said he went to attend a Samoan independence celebration and to introduce a "state-of-the art" medical informatics system.

Samoan officials later said Kennedy's visit bolstered the credibility of anti-vaccine activists. A measles outbreak, which tore through the Pacific island nation a few months after Kennedy's visit, sickened thousands and killed 83 people, mostly children under age five. ...


Not a word about the poor woman who will be beaten and probably already tortured?

I don't like the situation... but she knows the rules... probably agreed to abide by them when she started her career... she knew the risk.

Seriously? So we should go to war with them? You feckless pigs killed the more moderate ones as part of your regime change...

The purpose of war is to turn men into corpses, boys into cripples, women into widows, girls into prostitutes, and children into orphans... that's its function... it is meant to do that... en masse... the more the merrier... war is about crushing the spirits... raining misery and breaking will and forcing surrender... to make the misery stop... cl0wns like you think it's a better solution.

Nearly 20 years in Afghanistan... Eventually... US soldiers were fighting men who were not even born when 911 hit... are they more liberal now?
The US flattened Afghanistan... delivering them the ultimate "come to Jayzus" moment! We delivered Iraq 30 days of Shock and Awe after 10 years of crippling sanctions!

Are women treated better now?

Face it dum(b)ass... you don't have the answers... in fact... you think we should make things worse for women there... to save a woman who ran in elite circles... and took a risk.

Women bear the brunt of masculine jack-assery in wartime. You want to visit more on them... for Jayzus to come home.

If you want rights for women... promote peace and prosperity... because that is the ONLY time women get a break... The pooer and more wortorn a country the worse it is for women... and girls...

It's ironic that Trumpanzee an amoral psychopath... who uses women like a commodity... for his pleasure... inspires you.
