Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Reiterates Conspiracy Theories About Covid-19

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once again spread unfounded claims regarding the Covid-19 and the vaccine.

“So you have gained notoriety for your skepticism about vaccines,” CNN anchor Kasie Hunt told Kennedy during a recent interview.

“And over the summer, in an interview, you said, quote, ‘There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.’ Do you still believe that?” she asked.

“I never said –,” Kennedy stated before Hunt cut him off.

“So, stop me, we have the clip. Please play the clip,” Hunt declared.

“Play the whole clip,” Kennedy requested.

Hunt then played the clip of him and Lex Fridman talking during a recorded interview on July 5.

Fridman and Kennedy discussed that the media has been slamming RFK Jr. for being anti-vaccine. Kennedy then claimed that he is not anti-vaccine but is instead “pro-safe vaccine.”

“Difficult question. Can you name any vaccines that you think are good?” Fridman asked.

“I think some of the live virus vaccines are actually averting more problems than they’re causing,” Kennedy responded. “There’s no response that is, you know, safe and effective.”

“So you did say it,” Hunt said to Kennedy once the clip ended. “Do you still believe it?”

“Well I – here’s what – here’s what I – here’s what I would say,” he responded. “First of all, I’m not anti-vaccine.”

“How is that statement not anti-vaccine?” Hunt questioned him.

“Well, I can say right now, there’s no vaccine medicine for cancer that’s safe and effective,” Kennedy declared. “It doesn’t mean I’m against all medicines.”

“I’ve been fighting 40 years to get mercury out of fish. Nobody calls me anti-fish,” he added. “What I want is vaccines that are proven safe. And what I meant – which was a bad use of words – none of the vaccines that are currently on the mandated schedule for children, 72 vaccines, have ever been tested in a pre-licensing safety study.”

“What that means is we do not know what the risk profile is for those products,” Kennedy continued. “And you cannot prove or say with any scientific certainty that any of those products are causing.”

Hunt interrupted Kennedy and asked him another question.

“So you still believe that no vaccines are safe and effective,” she asked.

“What I’m saying is that none of the 72 vaccines have ever been tested in a safety study pre-licensing – ,” he said before being Hunt interrupted.

“So let me ask you if you think it’s wise for people to take these vaccines because you had this to say on a different podcast about whether people with young babies should be getting them shots,” Hunt mentioned.

She then played an audio clip from an episode of the podcast, The Way Forward with Alec Zeck. This episode was uploaded on September 3, 2021.

“For many, many years, I think parents were so gaslighted, and they were scapegoated, and they were vilified and marginalized, so that even parents of kids who were very, very badly injured, knew what happened to their kid, but they were just reluctant to talk about it,” Kennedy stated in the podcast. “And I think now those days are over.”

“We – our job is to resist and to talk about it to everybody. If you’re walking down the street – and I do this now myself, which is, you know, I don’t want to do – I’m not a busybody,” he claimed. “I see somebody on a hiking trail with a, carrying a little baby and I say to him, ‘Better not get him vaccinated.’ And he heard that from me. If he hears it from ten other people, maybe he won’t do it, you know, maybe he will save that child.”

“‘Maybe he will save that child.’ Do you think preventing vaccines for a child will save that child? Do you still say this to parents today?” Hunt asked Kennedy after the clip ended.

“But what I say is I had three vaccines when I was a kid, and I was fully compliant,” he stated in defense. “My kids got 72. The current recommendations are, I think, around 77, and –.”

“I have a vaccine record for my child, and there are not 77 -,” Hunt claimed.

“There are 72 doses of 16 vaccines. That’s just a fact,” Kennedy declared in response. “And there are certain vaccines that were added to the schedule after 1986, because in 1986, Congress made it so it’s impossible to sue a vaccine company, no matter how negligent they are, no matter how grievous your entry, no matter how reckless or – .”

Hunt tried asking Kennedy what his three vaccines were. However, he told her to let him finish so that he could mention that there were a great deal of vaccines, including ones that were not even for casually contagious diseases.

Back in May, Kennedy blamed the CIA for assassinating his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, and for covering it up. He suggested that the evidence of the CIA being involved in both the assassination and the cover-up was overwhelming, and even mentioned that the murder occurred due to his uncle refusing to send U.S. forces to Vietnam.

Additionally, Kennedy recently withheld information regarding the two trips to Florida and South Dakota that he took with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
