Washington D.C. – Trump Health Secretary RFK Jr. is rolling out yet another taxpayer-funded effort to promote his own brand: a podcast that ironically promises to expose ‘lies’ that have made Americans sicker despite his own long, sordid history of promoting blatant lies and evidence-free conspiracy theories that have directly contributed to a decline in vaccination rates and a rise in preventable diseases like measles.
“Pot, meet kettle,” said Kayla Hancock, Director of Protect Our Care’s Public Health Project. “RFK Jr. must be joking to claim he’s an arbiter of health disinformation as one of the world’s most influential and shameless traffickers in such lies. This is a guy who spent years peddling discredited claims about vaccine safety– smears that have directly led to falling vaccination rates and allowed diseases like measles to flourish for the first time in decades. This is the same guy who gutted the child vaccine schedule based on vibes, not credible scientific data or input from medical experts. If anyone has made Americans sicker by leading them astray, it’s RFK Jr..
“Like Donald Trump, Kennedy has always been a guy who shoots first with unfounded claims and doesn’t bother to ask questions later, which often gives families false hope followed by bitter disappointment, like his leucovorin-autism debacle.”
