Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks in Fairbanks outside the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continued his tour through Alaska Wednesday with Sen. Dan Sullivan and Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

Kennedy visited the federally funded Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center in Fairbanks, meeting with tribal leaders and touring the Native healthcare facility. He was joined by Alaska’s US Senators Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski.

Outside the building and along the road, tensions rose as dueling groups gathered. Protesters who are anti-Kennedy shouted “Vaccines save lives!” in opposition to he health secretary’s cancellation of funding for research promoting the controversial mRNA vaccines, which have been linked to cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart), particularly in male teens.

One man was detained by officers after making a move toward Kennedy that appeared aggressive. The man had been yelling about genocide in Palestine.

Meanwhile, pro-Trump demonstrators waved American and Trump flags. One Trump supporter, an older woman with a service dog, returned to her car to find a window smashed out.

A window in a vehicle belonging to a Trump rally participant was smashed.

A handful of protesters were on hand to protest the arrival of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Alaska senators.

This scene mirrored Kennedy’s stop in Anchorage on Tuesday, where similar liberal protesters greeted him.

Pro-Trump rally was also part of the day in Fairbanks.

Following the Fairbanks clinic visit, Kennedy, Sullivan, and Murkowski took questions from the press. Kennedy said the trip was focused on listening to tribal health leaders and understanding the challenges of healthcare delivery in remote communities.

  1. Man, I didn’t know he was here on Tuesday! I would’ve showed up to thank him for banning a list of food dyes and launching an investigation into the safety of the Pill. Keep trucking, RFK!

  2. Is this the same Murkowski who made the video with Zink telling pregnant women to get the jab? RFK is doing himself no favors going around the state with 2 corrupt RINOs.

  3. The idiocy is reinforced by pride. They are not being prohibited from receiving vaccines. Why are they protesting? To force others to receive them? What is most chilling to me is that so many people are so stupid. Perhaps from too many vaccinations?

    • “…….Why are they protesting?……”
      Frim the articke:
      “……..Protesters who are anti-Kennedy shouted “Vaccines save lives!” in opposition to he health secretary’s cancellation of funding for research promoting the controversial mRNA vaccines……..”
      They want funding for the development of the mRNA vaccine.
      Conservatives don’t want vaccine development funded at all………until their loved ones start dying, then somebody had better whip one out pronto.
      Pick an issue: if liberals want it, conservatives will oppose it. If conservatives want it, liberals will oppose it.
      It’s all about the fight. The drama. The hatred.

      • WTD, I reject your dystopian view!
        Ideology in your world apparently is more important than anything else, and yet you lay all the blame at the conservatives. It would be nice if you had a bit of discernment. The secretary did NOT cancel all vaccine research, just the mRNA associated ones.
        The mRNA “vaccines” were not ready for prime time and did not live up to the hype and we are still finding new issues/side effect. The pharmaceutical companies can certainly continue the research, but at this time investing taxpayer dollars seems ill advised. They would be better spend finding vaccines that rely on an established method AND have been thoroughly researched with clinical trials and proof of effectiveness.
        Healthcare should never be about “tit for tat” or as you said you hate it so I love it. That is really bad medicine!
        It should be about provable facts and science, not about consensus, but demonstrable results. YOUR feelings are NOT science!

        • More than 5.6 BILLION people took the COVID vaccines.

          If there was a mass dying wave, miscarriages and stillbirths, cardiac issues, or anything else, we have more than enough data to show those things.

          But they never happened!

          They’re not real, they’re a neurotic delusion.

          • Sebastian, there are a multitude of studies regarding the risk of myocardial and other cardiac injury to young men following Covid-19 vaccination.
            The NIH stated:”The association of COVID-19 vaccination with the risk of coronary artery disease should be considered in future vaccine technologies for the next pandemic.”
            The Europeans reported increase in heart related issues including hypertension in an age group of young men (12-24y/o) in 2022.
            Anecdotally, a large sign appeared at the hospital on JBER listing signs and symptoms of cardiac disease and urging any military member with these symptoms to go to the ER immediately for evaluation. Clearly it was enough of an issue to take that step.

            I have also read articles regarding the increase of stillbirths and miscarriages following the Covid-19 inoculation. Some wonder if the vaccine is to blame, while others suggest that the mother had an active Covid infection, in which case the vaccine did not prevent the death of the fetus.

            Finally I found the mRNA covid vaccine ineffective, since by the time the latest and greatest came out, the virus had already mutated several times and the “spike protein” had changed. mRNA is too specific for a widespread fast mutating disease. It would be to our advantage to reconsider more traditional methods that combat the whole virus. For me “just making me less sick if I get infected” isn’t a good enough reason to volunteer as a pincushion! That being said you do what you think is best for you.

          • Before you make any statistical claims, take a look at some of the vaccines that were pulled from the market because of exactly how many reported problems. You might find out the percent of people with adverse reactions to the mRNA shots far exceeds the threshold resulting in other vaccines getting pulled.

          • WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION? FROM THE SAME FOLKS THAT CREATED THE DISEASE, VAX, AND THE MAINSTREAM DISINFORMATION NETWORK NEWS?
            THE DEATH AND DISEASE HAVE JUST BEGUN AND WHO IS GOING TO PROFIT FROM IT? THINK!
            WATCH & LEARN !

          • Wrong. Thousands and thousands of people who took the so-called vaccine have died from heart attacks, cancers etc. Do your research and you will see the staggering number of deaths and side effects caused by it. When young healthy indivuduals who got the vaccine are dropping dead of heart attacks and agressive cancers there is an issue.

          • You are the delusional one. Go ask the hospital, they will tell you how many people had ill effects from the vaccine. Step back – it is about choice.

          • Pointing out the exception does not disprove the rule.
            .
            History is full of examples of vaccines and medicines getting pulled because of a handful of adverse reactions/deaths. Yet… here are the mRNA vaccines, with thousands of entries into VAERS still getting used.
            .
            So good for you. You have the full series, and are doing well. So far. And, I sincerely hope you continue to do well. I was placed into a situation where I got two of the shots against my will. Hearing that others are doing fine helps me sleep at night.

            • In the same way, a few contraindications amongst millions of vaccines given is not a reason to reject the entire vaccination effort. It’s a fact with some vaccines and many/most drugs as well. Yes, some will suffer but on the whole the larger cohort will benefit. That’s life.

              • “In the same way, a few contraindications amongst millions of vaccines given is not a reason to reject the entire vaccination effort.”
                .
                It has been in the past.
                It normally only takes a handful of adverse incidences to get a vaccine pulled, but for some reason… the mRNA vaccines keep getting injected despite thousands of reported adverse effects.
                .
                “Yes, some will suffer but on the whole the larger cohort will benefit. That’s life.”
                Apply the same logic to gun control.

  4. So thankful he came. Too bad we had so many bad actors screaming at them.
    I wish he could/would talk to CAIHC and see about community service patrol deliveries to their facility instead of our FMH /ER. It’s asinine that people with serious emergencies have to wait for a bed in the ER because of drunken belligerent ungrateful frequent fliers abusing our important caregivers! Something has to change within our community!

  5. Fairbanks sure has some pathetic people. Political crazies……..Democrats, of course, and other sundry leftists and junior Marxists.

  6. Wacko, long-haired Gaza protester, with a violent disposition. Probably a good friend and political accomplice of Democrat leader Savannah Fletcher in Fairbanks.

    • I don’t doubt this. Savannah Fletcher organizes all kinds of left-wing political shenanigans, including setting up her hated rival Barbara Haney on the Fairbanks Assembly. Then came the backwash, where an older lady complained against Fletcher and got her censured from the Assembly. But the radical Democrats still got the disgraced Fletcher on the Alaska Judicial Council where she has a say as to who our next judges will be. Fletcher is not a real Alaskan. She’s an invader, hellbent on morphing Alaska into a full-on communist state. She should have been disbarred and feathered.

  7. This man is trying to undermine decades of sound science that has benefitted most of humanity. And for what reason? Yes, I know his father was killed in cold blood, but even that should not have done enough damage to make him such a deranged and deluded individual. The sooner he’s gone, the better off we will all be.

    • The sooner Whidbey the Dog is gone, the better off MRAK readers will all be. Sicko comments, Dog, from your unintellectualized, brainwashed comments. Critical thinking is NOT your forte’

      • Agreed, Frog. Hopefully Whidbey gets every new booster that comes along. He has fanatical opinions, but I don’t remember him ever claiming any knowledge or education to back up his delusions. I studied immunology as a grad student at a large medical school, and have been board certified as a specialist in the field of immunology for over 20 years. Based upon those facts, I feel I can say, in my opinion, everything Whidbey has posted on MRAK regarding this subject is wrong.

      • I’m here to stay and am not going away, unless Dear Editor casts me astray. But maybe she won’t ’cause I pay my own way.

    • Ah yes Mr Whidbey… as you sit in Toby’s bar in Coupeville sipping your brew, you once again rant your liberal foolishness. While you once enjoyed the beauty of Alaska.. you have elected to live among the liberal wash of Whidbey Island.. Let it rest.

    • Should you really be in charge of deciding how far back the clock should be turned on medical progress? Hold up just this side of leeches and bad humors, maybe? Possible try a good laying on of the hands? Consider getting a good stock of horse paste in case we get another global pestilence and maybe see if the recipe for grandma’s salve is still around. Be sure you make the sign of the cross over the boiling cauldron just to be sure.

      And why put a hard stop on decades of sound science? Last I recall you said you worked for the gas company but now your youtube research trumps presidential team qualifications?

      • Medieval is the time frame MAGA is shooting for, I think. Dungeons, chains, Kings, disease, male dominance, and all that…

        • No no you are mistaken, that’s the environmental/climate change crowd, they basically want us back in the cave covered in pelts and stealing women from the neighboring tribe.

    • I am missing something here.
      Where is he undermining decades of science?
      .
      Perhaps you missed this in HS, but science IS the act of challenging established “facts.” If RFK Jr. is questioning the conclusions of previous research, he literally is doing scientific research.
      .
      I bet you have used the phrase “the science is settled” or “science proves…” more than once. If you have, it proves you know nothing about science. Your comment here, reinforces that belief on my part.

        • So…
          you cannot actually point to a single example of where RFK Jr. is undermining decades of science?
          Instead you just make a comment about your backside?
          .
          Got it. This is just another emission from WTD’s big furry one polluting MRAK.

      • Hey bud if you think the vax is something wonderful. Thoroughly researched and settled science, please do some research on the Swine Flu “vaccine” foisted upon the American Armed Services in the mid-70’s. Disastrous results but kept quiet. Subsequently used on the general population until the same disastrous results, yanked and forgotten. Well, almost forgotten. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice….. No thanks but help yourself to more boosters. And pull that mask up over your nose government sycophant.

  8. What is particularly concerning is the broken window of the lady with the Silver KIA. I bet they thought they were targeting Haney, since she also drives a silver Kia. Haney was not at the protest-she was down the road at a meeting with several witnesses to that meeting.

  9. Not all vaccines are effective, some are harmful, some are helpful. Some are not vaccines at all. Fauci belongs in prison. Whidbey belongs in the Nut House. Good night everyone.

  10. RFK… please have the native corporations pay for their people. These corporations are worth billions. yet they fail their own people.. Allow them the dignity to help take care of their own people.

  11. How dare anyone have a different viewpoint from any Trump cabinet member! One party, one person rule! No differing opinions should be allowed. Let’s outrun North Korea to the cult of personality finish line!!

    • I missed it.
      Where is the different viewpoint? Who is upset about it?
      .
      RFK Jr. showed up, and a bunch of protesters protested. That people who understand science, and the logic behind the decision to stop funding mRNA vaccine research at the Federal level disagree with the protesters who.. well… frankly do not actually understand what they are protesting against, is not dismissing differing opinions.

      • C. I’m pro science too. It is a legitimate government role to fund scientific research for such a global benefit. Why did RFK defund it? He did so because its absence will be an opportunity for Trump to negotiate with someone.

        • “It is a legitimate government role to fund scientific research for such a global benefit”
          No, it is not.
          Not even close. Where, in any of the founding documents of this country does it say the government has any role in funding research of any kind?

          • CBMTTek Manny is reading the “communist manifesto” and confusing it with our constitution, don’t disillusion him with reality…….

            ….and WTD answer the question!

            • Leftists always choose the path where they can use the threat of governmental force to compel others to adhere to their view of the world.

        • I can only respond to what is written.
          cman made a statement that has pretty much nothing to back it up. If cman could have provided a single example to justify his claim, I likely would not have missed it. Which is why I asked for more information.
          .
          When you want to be understood, you provide information supporting your position. cman did not. And, quite often, neither do you. So, I will ask for clarification.

    • Slow down there cman….your claim does not compute with reality. A administration official showed up, there were protests, then everyone went home. As far as I can see, nobody was rounded up and arrested for their “opposing views”. That some find their protest a bit idiotic is their prerogative, just as much as it is yours to post your opinions here. That does not make them minion or dictators….you are way out on a limb here.
      Many moons ago I attended a graduation ceremony at a military academy. The road to the entrance was a gauntlet of protestors. Everyone waved their signs, yelled and then went home. It is the American Way! You see nothing has changed!

    • On further reflection cman, your comment shows a very great of LACK of self-awareness.
      Just a few short years ago you, Sebastian, WTD and others harangued, chastised and scolded ANYONE who did not follow every decree and edicts from your hero Saint Fauci.
      You lambasted people, who questioned the efficacy of wearing a mask(or two), you had no problem with people being fired for declining to take a “vaccine” without a track record (“my body my choice” for you but not for others apparently) and you enthusiastically supported in essence putting an entire population under house arrest with the lock-downs. In some places you had to have a vaccine card to even get groceries….Ironically it turned out many of the concerns you railed against were well founded and Fauci’s decrees were not based in science at all (like that stupid 6 feet rule they made up).
      How much more dictatorial and Big Brother can you get?

      Your MAGA assertions are silly and overblown. Yes I get you don’t like Trump and you hate his supporters…fine, but they are entitled to their opinion just as much as you are, so instead maybe we can strive for a decent conversation of the facts instead of your constant hyperbole.

  12. Left wing in the 60s 70s 80s less government or no government control of anything and now they want the government to control everything. They apparently need to be told what’s good for them and what’s bad for them. Reasoning skills be damned the government will do everything for us.

  13. How sad and embarrassing that attendees of these events are acting like aggressive children. If you want your vaccine go get one! No one says you can’t get one. I have had two friends die of myocarditis and they had no previous symptoms until they had the covid vaccine.

  14. THE TRUTH ABOUT THECOVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE MRNA VAX FORCED ON THE WORLD POPULATION IS FINALLY COMING INTO THE LIGHT EVEN AFTER ALL THE EFFORTS TO SUPRESS IT.
    WATCH THE TRUTH COMING OUT:
    ‘https://americasvoice.news/video/JG8TLjxYzKHAc0J/
    You can skip the first 5 min. to get to the meat.

  15. Are these people actually Alaskans? If so, we’ve become a totally different state than what we were and that truly makes me sad. I thought I would at least get to die in a place I call home with people that think like I do. Guess not. 😢

  16. Thankfully for Balto – RFK Jr. and Kristi Noem weren’t around when his life-saving venture happened. The pooch wouldn’t have made it out of Nenana.

    • You think?
      Tell me, what tried and trusted vaccines is RFK Jr. stopping? Name at least one vaccine that has been proven effective that he has outlawed?
      No… removing them from a recommended for children list is not outlawing them.
      No… stopping funding for experimental RNA altering vaccines is not outlawing.
      .
      Balto would likely have been given additional supplies and assistance if RFK Jr. was HHS Secretary then.

  17. Why did he go to Fairbanks? He should have stopped in Palmer. We would have welcomed him!

    I’m embarrassed that there are so many leftists in Fairbanks. I wonder why they settled there? Surely they’d rather return to their home turf of California. I wonder?
