RFK Jr. Considers Independent Run, Defying Democratic Primary

Anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to drop his Democratic primary bid for president and announce an independent or third-party run. Kennedy, a member of the famous Democratic Kennedy family, has better favorability ratings among Republicans but it remains to be seen if GOP support would translate to a general election against former President Donald Trump. Kennedy has accused the Democratic National Committee (DNC) of rigging the primary against him and has built relationships with far-right figures in recent years. He is known for his vocal distrust of COVID-19 vaccines and his anti-vaccine organization, Children's Health Defense, has a lawsuit pending against news organizations, including The Associated Press.

False Claims: Activist Falsely Accuses COVID-19 Vaccines of Causing Massive Deaths

An anti-vaccine activist falsely claimed that federal data shows COVID-19 vaccines have killed 676,000 people in the U.S. The data used is from an alternative gateway to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which includes unverified reports and cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused death. The CDC has confirmed only nine deaths linked to a COVID-19 vaccine that is no longer available in the U.S. There is no evidence to support the claim that COVID-19 vaccines have caused a large number of deaths.
