The anti-vax candidate?
How is Robert F Kennedy鈥檚 long record of spreading anti-vaccine misinformation impacting on his bid to be elected US President in 2024?
In 2024 yet another Kennedy is making a bid for the White House. Robert F Kennedy Jr - nephew of the late President John F Kennedy - is enjoying strong polling numbers for an independent candidate. He鈥檚 running on a platform of promising to take on powerful vested interests to create a better life for the average American.
But away from his Camelot-infused stump speeches, he is facing questions about his long and controversial record of spreading misinformation about the safety of vaccines.
In this episode, the 大象传媒鈥檚 Health and Disinformation Reporter Rachel Schraer investigates how Kennedy is building a base from across the political spectrum, inspite of, or because of, his views on public health policy.
