Permalinkthat hes actually all for vaccines
in screeching U-turn
23 January 2025
Robert F Kennedy Jr built a
following online by questioning
the scientific consensus and
casting doubt on the use of
vaccines in the U.S., but under
his new boss President Donald
Trump the failed presidential
candidate is suddenly shifting
his stance.
Kennedy is Trump's pick to head
the Department of Health and
Human Services. Ahead of his
new potential role in the Trump
White House, he's reportedly
been assuring the Republican
senators who have to vote him
in that he's "all for" polio
vaccines, and that he isn't
going to ban any vaccines,
according to a report by
Politico.
This lighter touch is a change
from Kennedy's previous
commentary on vaccines. He
previously suggested that the
measles vaccine causes autism
and that the polio vaccines
may have killed "many, many,
many, many, many more people
than polio ever did."
Neither of those claims
represent the scientific
consensus.
