If autism were a vaccine injury, i.e. if it was legitimate to add autism to the vaccine injury table, I would say, “change the schedule now and pay however many families deserve it, no matter the cost.” But autism is not a vaccine injury. I will note that if Mr. Kennedy truly believed autism is a vaccine injury, he wouldn’t have hired David Geier to do the studies. Having Mr. Geier run an autism study is the equivalent of using loaded dice in a game of craps.

The video will only be live for a short while, so don’t put off watching it.

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.

In Sanho Corp. v. Kaijet Technology International Limited, Inc, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB's decision finding obvious all challenged claims of the '429 patent, which relates to a device that provides ports for connecting peripherals to a computer. The court's affirmation clarifies that a private sale does not necessarily publicly disclose subject matter under § 102(b)(2)(B). The '429 patent was invalidated at IPR utilizing a patent application publication (Kuo) as prior art.
