Kennedy Jr. … is part of this campaign to attack the institutions committed to reducing the tragedy of preventable infectious diseases,” they wrote. “He has helped to spread dangerous misinformation over social media and is complicit in sowing distrust of the science behind vaccines.” He has continued to write and give speeches on the repeatedly debunked claims that vaccines cause autism and leads a group called the Children’s Health Defense, which propagates misinformation about risks posed by vaccines.
