RFK Jr.’s Anti-Vax Crusade Is a Threat to Our Kids [1]

RFK Jr.’s Anti-Vax Crusade Is a Threat to Our Kids Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t just dabbling in conspiracy—he’s institutionalizing it. As head of Health and Human Services, he’s turned anti-vaccine rhetoric into official policy, gutting the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and replacing experts with ideologues. The result? A public health system that’s no longer protecting our children—it’s endangering them.
Kennedy’s actions go far beyond skepticism. He’s restricted access to COVID vaccines, even for cancer patients. He’s fired the CDC director for refusing to endorse pseudoscience. He’s questioned whether vaccines saved lives, despite mountains of evidence showing they did. This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. And the consequences are already here.
A gunman, radicalized by anti-vaccine propaganda, recently opened fire on the CDC campus. That’s not debate—it’s domestic terrorism. When misinformation becomes policy, violence isn’t far behind. Parents are now left in a fog of confusion, trying to navigate a landscape where science is politicized and trust is eroded. Childhood vaccines—measles, polio, whooping cough—are being dragged into the same culture war, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
RFK Jr. may claim he’s protecting children, but his policies do the opposite. He’s dismantling the very systems that keep kids safe. And if we don’t speak out, we risk watching preventable diseases make a comeback. This isn’t just about politics. It’s about protecting our kids from a future where science takes a back seat to ideology. We owe them better.
