"The Damaging Impact of RFK Jr.'s Anti-Vaccine Campaign"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of President John F. Kennedy, has spent years spreading false information about vaccines, including the debunked claim that they cause autism. Kennedy's anti-vaccine group, Children's Health Defense, has published books that promote misinformation, including one falsely claiming that COVID-19 vaccines caused sudden deaths among young people. The book featured the photo of a deceased child without permission or accurate information about the cause of death. Kennedy's actions have led to real harm, with people delaying important medical care and facing harassment. His decision to run as an independent candidate for president raises concerns about the further spread of harmful misinformation.
