As a Samoan girl, I used to be SHOCKED that the Senate confirmed him as Secretary of Well being and Human Providers following his controversial journey to Samoa in 2019. Per PBS, “Samoan officers later mentioned Kennedy’s journey bolstered the credibility of anti-vaccine activists forward of the measles outbreak, which sickened hundreds of individuals and killed 83, principally kids below age 5.”
Within the 2023 documentary Shot within the Arm, RFK Jr. mentioned, “I had nothing to do with individuals not vaccinating in Samoa. I by no means instructed anyone to not vaccinate. I did not, , go there for any cause to do with that.”
