Robert F. Kennedy Jr. somehow managed (with a straight face) to tell a House Select Subcommittee today that he has “never been anti-vax.”
Oh, my sides…LOL
Kennedy had been invited to testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government under the guise of discussing his claims of being censored by the Biden administration and tech companies.
In reality, this was just a thinly-veiled excuse to use him – as President Biden’s only Democratic opponent in the upcoming primary season – for political points against Biden.
During his testimony, Kennedy laughably claimed he never opposed vaccinations.
“I have never told anybody I have never told the public avoid vaccination,” he declared. “I want to have a conversation with him [President Biden] about that with the American people, which I believe vaccines should be tested with the same rigor as other medicines medications.”
In fact, the Center for Countering Digital Hate included Kennedy in their ‘Disinformation Dozen’ – a list of twelve individuals and their organizations found to be responsible for the bulk of anti-vax content shared or posted on Facebook and Twitter.
In 2005, Salon had to retract an article by Kennedy linking autism with vaccines.
He has also claims that poppers causes AIDS and contaminated water is turning frogs and kids transgender.

Connolly to RFK Jr: “You are here for cynical reasons to be used politically by that side of the aisle to embarrass the current president, and you’re an enabler in that effort today. And it brings shame on a storied name that I revere.” pic.twitter.com/ocKOUZ25SN

He literally mentions the anti-vax thing on every interview he gives. https://t.co/FZSaN3Vlgd
