Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for.
Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King.

Grandparents for Vaccines urges parents to follow AAP guidelines and speak to their own pediatrician for science-based guidance.
“When vaccination rates fall, it is not just individual families who are affected,” Mills said. “It is the most vulnerable members of our communities who pay the price.”

If in any doubt Epstein was a Russian intelligence operative (among many other things of course) look who sponsored his Russian visa
МОО «Вымпел» was the International Public Organization “Vympel,” linked to veterans of Russia’s FSB special forces unit “Vympel” (known for anti-terror operations).[efa-vimpel]
Led by FSB veteran and KGB colonel Sergey Shestov, it was the only such entity with that name in Russia at the time.
