Is Bobby Kennedy The "Dr. Semmelweis" of 2024?

Making America Healthy Again

Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865), a Hungarian physician and scientist working in Vienna General Hospital, is now known as the Father of Hand Hygiene. He is considered the first doctor to discover the importance of hand washing for medical professionals. Semmelweis noticed that women who gave birth aided by physicians & medical students had higher mortality rates than women who gave birth aided by midwives. He concluded that physicians were passing on bacteria or viruses to pregnant women after handling corpses during autopsies. Semmelweis mandated hand washing in his department and found that the number of new mothers dying from what was called childbed fever dropped significantly.^ Pregnant women also noticed and demanded they be assigned to his department. His work is still relevant today, as hand washing is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to prevent the spread of viruses. 

COLLEAGUES THREW HIM IN INSANE ASYLUM

Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. He could offer no theoretical explanation for his findings of reduced mortality due to handwashing. Some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and mocked him for it. They were also jealous that patients wanted to deliver their babies in his department, not in theirs. In 1865 his colleagues threw the increasingly outspoken Semmelweis into an insane asylum. In the asylum, he was beaten by the guards and died 14 days later from a gangrenous wound on his right hand caused by the beating. [Did he acquire the infection from doctors & nurses who attended his wound with dirty hands?] The Father of Hand Hygiene was only 47 years of age.

TRUMP’S AGENDA 47

On June 6, 2023, Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump added a video to his Agenda 47 website. In part he said:

“Every year, we spend hundreds of billions of dollars to treat these chronic problems rather than looking at what is causing them in the first place,” President Trump said. “Too often, our public health establishment is too close to Big Pharma—they make a lot of money, Big Pharma—big corporations, and other special interests, and does not want to ask the tough questions about what is happening to our children’s health.”

TRUMP-KENNEDY: NATURAL PARTNERSHIP

For thirty years, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been studying and sounding the alarm about the increases in chronic diseases which were unheard of three generations ago. Sixty percent of American children have one or more chronic disease. Seventy percent of them could not get into the military because they are physically unfit. Now, Bobby has a powerful partner who is willing to listen, Donald J. Trump. Since 2023, Trump has said: On Day One of his new term, he will assemble a chronic disease taskforce to investigate the causes of these relatively new and widespread health problems.

DEM ESTABLISHMENT RUNNING SCARED

Outspoken Democrats, such as James Carville, are saying that Bobby Kennedy, Jr. should be put in a white restraint jacket and committed, in order to protect society from his “crazy ideas.” If Harris/Walz win, will they have Bobby thrown into an insane asylum?

^An early pioneer of antiseptic procedures, Semmelweis was described as the "saviour of mothers". Postpartum infection, consists of any bacterial infection of the reproductive tract following birth. This was common in the 19th century and usually resulted in death several weeks after giving birth. Semmelweis discovered that the incidence of infection could be drastically reduced by requiring healthcare workers in obstetrical clinics to disinfect their hands. In 1847, he proposed hand washing with chlorinated lime solutions at Vienna General Hospital's First Obstetrical Clinic, where doctors' wards had three times the mortality of midwives' wards. The maternal mortality rate dropped from 18% to less than 2%, and he published a book of his findings, Etiology, Concept and Prophylaxis of Childbed Fever, in 1861.

Semmelweis’s findings earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory, giving Semmelweis' observations a theoretical explanation, and Joseph Lister, acting on Pasteur's research, practised and operated using hygienic methods with great success.
