Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a leading vaccine skeptic and purveyor of conspiracy theories, is running for US president as a Democrat. His political following is built on a movement that seeks to legitimize conspiracy theories. Kennedy’s claims decrying vaccines have roiled scientists and medical experts and stoked anger over the lack of safety-tested medical products.
Kennedy’s political following is built on a movement that seeks to legitimize conspiracy theories. His claims decrying vaccines have roiled scientists and medical experts and stoked anger over the lack of safety-testing for medical products. His family publicly rebuked the longshot Democratic presidential contender for claiming at a dinner party in Manhattan that vaccines are not safe.
Kennedy has appeared on Infowars, the channel run by Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, and has granted interviews to Trump ally Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson. His extreme conspiracies and online outreach tactics have added up to a pretty picture. There are several non-standard accounts of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, which took place shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, in Los Angeles.
In an independent presidential candidate and proponent of various conspiracy theories, Kennedy Jr. said he would “open the files” on the 9/11 attacks if they were true. He later referred to “possible Saudi involvement” in the 9/11 attacks. Some results may have been delisted consistent with local laws.

Funny, I’ve been listening to him for months now, and I have yet to hear him say anything remotely like what you suggested. The fact that you provided no evidence of any of these things should make any rational person question frankly your motive. For those who don’t want to take this on faith,, the candidate will be at the Crabtree Marriott on January 12 at 5:30. Come and listen for yourself and make your own judgment.
Can you please show me where he made these claims? I’ve only ever seen him say stuff about the most recent jab (which even us provaxxers don’t care about cause he is anti establishment). Anti depressants have warnings of side effects of causing thoughts of murdser… I know I have had relatives who took them
Never watched your news or website, and I don’t think I will after this. You lie to persuade people in such manner. I’m a follower for RFK and if you listen to him you will really learn the truth! I’m glad there are other people here who do come out to out speak your lies. Let the people have the choice! Let them debate! And from all 3 RFK is the best of ALL! #Kennedy24 #heal the divide ❤️🩹🇺🇸
This seems like another attempt to discredit the most compelling and capable candidate we have. However, those genuinely concerned about our country won’t fall for the misleading claims here. Politifact appears to have overlooked RFKJr’s work on crucial safety issues and the entities he challenges. Perhaps Politifact deserves the 2023 Lie of the Year title.
As a news reporting website, you have not cited any sources (CDC, NIH, clinical trials, published medical journal studies) or even said who debunked his statements. You claimed that 5 different topics were lies in under 2min, and your argument is ‘no basis in science’. RFK Jr. encourages science-backed research which has I think helped people to now know to approach media statements such as yours with discernment. A simple interview to allow him to present his research would have been the fair thing to do, rather than label him liar of the year. But then you would have to present facts. Distasteful to label someone ‘liar of the year’ and not let them defend their position.
I’ve have to side with RFK Jr., on this one. She asked him a question, so he has a right to answer the question. What’s “with this reclaiming” my time” “reclaiming my time”? etc (sounds like a childish playground rant) What’s next?, did she put her hands on her ears and say “I’m rubber your glue whatever you say bounces off me, and sticks to you”
Ms. Wasserman Shultz, did you read the scientific article that he referred to!!! I’m a Jewish woman too, and I read the article and he was scientifically correct. I’m embarrassed by your rudeness to him. You could create antisemtism by your rude behavior to a person you dislike or disagree with. Good Jews believe in civil debate and discussion!!!!
The only choice we have anymore to hearing differing opinions is to listen to podcasts. Poor man couldn’t even explain himself without being shouted over. I’m so tired of these committees taking what people say out of context in order to fit their narrative. What’s ironic is that she is literally censoring a man during a committee on censorship.
If mainstream media has an issue with the science, go after the researchers who published the studies. U.S. National Institutes of Health Publication: ACE2 coding variants in different populations and their potential impact on SARS-CoV-2 binding affinity, Publication Date: December 2020, Vol. 24 The susceptibility of different populations to SARS-CoV-2 infection is not yet understood. Here, we combined ACE2 coding variants’ analysis in different populations and computational chemistry calculations to probe the effects on SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 interaction. ACE2-K26R; which is most frequent in Ashkenazi Jewish population decreased the SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 electrostatic attraction. On the contrary, ACE2-I468V, R219C, K341R, D206G, G211R increased the electrostatic attraction; ordered by binding strength from weakest to strongest. The aforementioned variants are most frequent in East Asian, South Asian, African and African American, European, European and South Asian populations, respectively. ACE2 Variants and electrostatic interaction (low attraction > high attraction): Ashkenazi Jews: K26R East Asian (China, Japan, Korea): 1468V South Asian: R219C African/African American: K341R European: D206G European/South Asian G211R
