Summary

Ahead of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearings for Health and Human Services Secretary, his niece, Dr. Kerry Kennedy Meltzer, leaked private emails revealing his false claims about Covid-19 vaccines.

The emails, spanning 2020-2022, show RFK Jr. citing vaccine skeptics, linking vaccines to autism, and questioning flu shots.

Meltzer, a physician, released them to highlight his “misguided views” as senators express bipartisan concerns.

RFK Jr. dismissed her ICU experiences, alleging CDC data manipulation.

Neither Kennedy nor the Trump administration responded to requests for comment.

    What I don’t understand: Let’s say the mercury in vaccines has 100% been proven to cause Autism. Multiple scientific studies, peer reviewed, universally accepted.

    SO WHAT?

    They remove it from childhood vaccines 25 years ago! It’s like arguing over the health problems caused by leaded gas. No one is arguing to bring it back. Why keep bringing up the argument? The only thing it does is validate parents who don’t want to get vaccines for their kids.
