RFK Jr. says he’s not anti-vaxx. His record shows the opposite.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:36:25 GMT

By Michelle R. Smith and Ali Swenson | Associated PressDemocratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic because of his strident opposition to vaccines. Yet, he insists he’s not anti-vaccine. He has associated with influential people on the far right – including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn – to raise his profile. Yet, he portrays himself as a true Democrat inheriting the mantle of the Kennedy family.As he challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells on the campaign trail about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record actually shows.Though Kennedy’s primary challenge to a sitting president is widely considered a longshot, he’s been sucking up media attention due to his famous name and the possibility that his run could weaken Biden ahead of what is expected to be a close general election in 2024. He’s drawn praise from Republi...

Foul-smelling corpses littered Bay Area beaches from San Pablo Bay to the South Bay.“It seems as though we’re catching the very early phases of this,” said David Senn, a senior scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute. “W...
