Another ‘article’ from an anti-vaxxer propaganda mill.
“Children’s Health Defense is an American 501c3 nonprofit advocacy organization, known for its anti-vaccine activism. Much of the material put forth by the organization involves misinformation on vaccines and anti-vaccine propaganda. It was founded and is chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr Established under the name World Mercury Project in 2016, it has been campaigning against various public health programs, such as vaccination and fluoridation of drinking water. The group has been contributing to vaccine hesitancy in the United States, encouraging citizens and legislators to support anti-vaccine regulations and legislation. Arguments against vaccination are contradicted by overwhelming scientific consensus about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.”

Or, if you don’t like wikipedia, there’s this:
“Brother and Sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Accuse Him of Spreading Misinformation on Vaccines”
“A brother, sister and niece of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday chastised him for campaigning against vaccines, saying he has been disseminating “dangerous misinformation” that discourages immunization even as measles spreads throughout the United States.
They declared that they love him and praised his work to protect the environment. “However, on vaccines he is wrong,” they wrote in a column published in Politico under the headline “RFK Jr. Is Our Brother and Uncle. He’s Tragically Wrong About Vaccines.”
Mr. Kennedy’s sister, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland; his brother, Joseph P. Kennedy II, a former Massachusetts congressman; and his niece, Maeve Kennedy McKean, executive director of Georgetown University’s Global Health Initiatives, criticized him for participating in social media campaigns that have stoked fear and mistrust of vaccines and for attacking public health institutions seeking to stem the spread of infectious diseases.

They also believe 5G is a major threat to children’s health.
The Children’s Health Defense Team is about as credible source as the Southern Poverty Law Center.
You would believe his sister over him with her background?
I tend to think Robert has some credibility in this.
“Children’s Health Defense Team is about as credible source as the Southern Poverty Law Center”
Sounds like hysterical pro-vax propaganda.
I am not a huge fan of the Kennedys, but I think he’s honest and well-meaning on this issue. And in the wellness and freedom to vax/not-vax movement (mostly Christian conservatives), he’s well regarded.
If you want a vax, take it. If you don’t, don’t.
You and the other vax pushers spend a lot of time attacking the messengers.
