RFK’s primary issue is vaccine skepticism. He believes vaccines cause autism and that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates sought to exaggerate the pandemic, in part, to promote vaccines. Kennedy also promoted use of unapproved treatments for Covid-19, such as ivermectin.
Polling shows that anti-vax sentiment in America is concentrated in the MAGA wing of the Republican party.
Kennedy's newly announced running mate, Nicole Shanahan, said she is “not an anti-vaxxer,” but that “I do wonder about vaccine injuries.”
RFK believes without evidence there was election-changing voter fraud. No, not 2020, but 2004. Kennedy Jr. said in a 2006 Rolling Stone article he was “convinced” that voter fraud in the 2004 presidential election allowed former Republican President George W. Bush to steal the victory from Democrat John Kerry.
Kennedy believes that the pharmaceutical industry favors Democrats. Actually, they favor Republicans.
Kennedy claims that the US and Switzerland have similar rates of gun ownership. Actually, U.S. civilians possess an average of 120.5 firearms per 100 people, the highest per-capita rate in the world, compared to 27.6 in Switzerland.
Perhaps most importantly, RFK Jr. is the cousin of JFK Jr. who...well, need I say more?
