Family members say RFK Jr. has 'helped to spread dangerous misinformation'
Family members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have slammed his stance against vaccines, calling his views “tragically wrong” in a new op-ed.
Citing the current outbreak of measles this year, both in the U.S. and worldwide, the family lambasted Kennedy, who works as an environmental lawyer and has been an outspoken advocate against mandatory vaccinations for years. He recently lent his public support to a legal challenge of a New York City mandate aimed at forcing Brooklyn residents within four zip codes to get vaccinated against measles if they had not already done so.
In 2017, Kennedy joined actor Robert De Niro to hold a press conference in which they offered $100,000 to anyone who can prove the safety of vaccines — despite already-existing strong scientific evidence that vaccines pose no long-term health risks.Measles cases in the U.S. hit their highest annual level in 25 years in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of May 3, the agency has confirmed 764 cases of measles in the country.
