ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!

Based on his extensive scientific expertise, RFKiller is attempting to ban dihydrogen monoxide for human consumption (also known as H2O). Some say RFK believes it’s patently unsafe - just like vaccines.
