RFK Jr.'s Contradictory Stance on Vaccination and Controversial Comments

TL;DR Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist, claimed at a congressional hearing that he has never urged the public to avoid vaccination, despite evidence to the contrary. Kennedy has a long history of promoting false claims about vaccines, including the debunked link between childhood vaccinations and autism. He has also spread misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines. In a podcast interview, Kennedy admitted to approaching strangers and telling them not to vaccinate their babies, encouraging others to do the same. His claims of never advocating against vaccination are false and contradicted by his own words.
