As a rabid antivaxxer, RFK Jr baselessly blames vaccines for everything from autism to AIDS.

He would do well to recall the legacy of his uncle, JFK, who signed the Vaccination Assistance Act in 1962, ensuring all children under the age of five could receive vaccines regardless of economic status.
