Editor’s Note: We’ve updated this article to reflect that the organization Robert F. Kennedy Jr. heads is called the Children’s Health Defense. We regret the error.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist, filed paperwork Wednesday to run for president as a Democrat.
Kennedy filed a statement of candidacy on Wednesday to challenge President Biden, who has yet to formally announce his bid for reelection, in the 2024 Democrat primary, The Associated Press reported. Kennedy had launched a fundraising campaign last month on social media to help him “decide whether to run for President.”
“If it looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win, I’ll jump in the race,” he tweeted last month. “If I run, my top priority will be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined our economy, shattered the middle class, polluted our landscapes and waters, poisoned our children, and robbed us of our values and freedoms. Together we can restore America’s democracy.”
Kennedy, who is the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and son of former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, heads the Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine organization that often promotes unproven theories about the safety of vaccines. It has received strong criticism for its misinformation.
The organization also doubled its profits during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people grew hesitant over the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, according to The Associated Press.
Nope. You should probably learn the difference between anti-vaxxers and people who didn’t trust Biden’s and Fauci’s shot.
There’s a huge difference.

There isn’t any differences since those opposing the vaccines are making the same arguments anti-vacciners have made against every vaccines since the 1790s.
🙄
The context of today’s “anti-vaxer” has more to do with covid being a scam with the vaccinations doing little to nothing to stop a person from getting covid and having deadly side-effects at the same time.
Today’s term has little to do with saving children’s lives with “normal” pre-mrna vaxes that kept people from getting such things as polio or small pox.
However, thanks to the covid scam, many people now are leery of any vaccine. By watching the various comments here on FR, many such people make comments that they will not get any vax of any sort in the future due to the mistrust of the medical system because of the covid scamdemic.

You’ve drank heavily from the anti-vaxxer propaganda. The claims you’ve made are nothing unique to the COVID vaccines but have been made about every vaccine since the 1790s.
First it was the smallpox vaccine will turn you into a cow. Now it’s the covid vaccines will alter your DNA. Then, it was the small pox vaccine containe bat feces. Now, it’s the covid vaccines are poison.
Then there were various individuals selling snake oil as a substitute for the vaccines. Now, it’s grifters selling anti-vaxxer propaganda in their internet newsletters. Claiming that covid is a scam is just the latest iteration of this.
The covid vaccines do prevent covid. They have saved well over a milliion lives. Covid is the first ‘scam’ that has killed tens of millions. Some scam.
