RFK Jr. Compares CDC to Nazi Death Camp, Equates Vaccines to Child Abuse
Resurfaced footage reveals Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary, made egregious comparisons between the CDC and Nazi death camps, likening vaccination to Catholic Church sex abuse scandals at AutismOne conferences. These remarks, spanning 2013 to 2019, echo his past rhetoric comparing US vaccine policies to Nazi Germany and spreading misinformation about vaccines causing autism. Kennedy’s history of disseminating false claims, including about COVID-19 origins, raises serious concerns given his potential leadership role in the nation’s health. The Independent has reached out to Trump’s transition team and the CDC for comment.
