RFK's Anti-Vaccine Lies

Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his anti-vaccine advocacy, has made many false claims and misleading arguments--including claiming that vaccines cause autism, Covid vaccines didn't reduce Covid deaths, AZT rather than the HIV virus causes AIDS deaths, there are not randomized clinical trials for vaccine efficacy and safety, vaccine manufacturers cannot be sued, and the list goes on. Although many of his falsehoods are a result of ignorance, in some cases--as when he slipped up and revealed during a recent interview with Joe Rogan that he knew controlled clinical trials occur for vaccines--he is guilty of outright lies. In this video, I debunk these various claims, and explain why scientists are better sources of accurate information than lawyers like RFK.
