RFK Jr unilaterally turned CDC into an anti-vaccine propaganda site.
Do people forget that he has made millions of dollars demonizing vaccines and autism for the last 25 years?
This is his business model.

If RFK Jr.’s CDC now promoting the lie that vaccines cause autism while he personally profits off said lie isn’t a conflict of interest, I don’t know what is.

RFK Jr.'s Aluminum Lie
No, aluminum vaccine adjuvants aren't causing autism, allergies, or other health issues. RFK Jr.'s conspiracy hinges on a 1961 patent, zero evidence, and total ignorance of immunology.
