The Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network were set to host a “vaccine forum” on October 19 in Harlem featuring prominent anti-vaccination activists, to the collective chagrin of scientists and pediatricians, just a month after the city declared an end to the largest measles outbreak in nearly 30 years. Sharpton had planned to attend the event when it was being held at it’s original, planned location. However, they were forced to cancel because of pressure not to hold the event there. Sharpton backed out and did not attend the event at all.

The event was rescheduled to take place at a new location – Riverside Church in Harlem. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was one of several experts invited to speak.

Hear This Well had this to say on their Facebook page about the event:



Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was kicked out of church in Harlem today. The official story was that the group had exceeded the time they rented the church for, so he quickly said he’d pay whatever was necessary to keep the summit going. The official story then shifted to the room being over capacity, despite the fact it was the same capacity it had been at for the last three hours. There was nothing he could say or do to have them turn the sound back on. He had to take it to the street. Never forget that in 1964 a St. Augustine, Florida motel owner poured acid into a swimming pool where activists were protesting segregation. The following day, the Civil Rights Act was approved, after an 83-day filibuster in the U.S. Senate. And remember that in 1967 a Boston Marathon official attempted to physically throw Kathrine Switzer out of the race for being female. Five years later the Boston Marathon opened to all women runners. Make no mistake: we win this battle. The world has been told the greatest lie of all time. We do not want what pharma is selling and the days of complying are way behind us now. Our victory is coming. Keep the faith.1

I live just a bike ride away from where it happened in Florida, the oldest city in America.

Speakers included: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.; Sheila Ealey; John Gilmore; Dr. Phil Valentine; Curtis Cost; Dr. Lawrence Palevsky; Reverend Walter Sotelo; Mary Holland; and many more.

“It is a grave warning sign for American democracy that the pharmaceutical industry is now so powerful that it can silence debate, even in the traditional heart of civil rights activism.” —Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
