contentious hearing. kennedy said he felt he was being targeted online by speaking on his views on the covid-19 vaccine. specifically he said until the covid vaccines were development he and his children were compliant to not anti-vaxx. in fact, he asserted anti-vaxx itself was a form of censorship. after i announced my presidency, it became more difficult for people to censor me outright. now i m subject to this new form of censorship which is targeted propaganda where people with per joratives like anti-vaxx, i ve never been anti-vaccine but everyone in this room probably believes i have been because that s the narrative. it s worth noting he has advanced conspiracy theories and dubious claims about vaccines and other issues. these come under fire for recent
two part statement. this is one of america s most prominent anti-vaxxer. he s on record saying to avoid vaccinations. an nbc news reporter found a comment and tweeted about it today where kennedy, in 2021, said he even encounters strangers on hiking trails and tells them not to vaccinate their babies. listen to that clip. our job is to resist and talk about it with everybody. you re walking down the street and i do this now myself, which is i see somebody on a hiking trail carrying a baby and i say to them, don t get them vaccinated. he heard that from me. if he hears it from ten other people, maybe he won t do it. maybe he will save that child. clearly anti-vaxx.
he was previously denounced by jewish groups for the comment about ann frank. a comparison, that was last year, he was attacking vaccine mandates he said even in hitler s germany you could cross the alps into switzerland, hide in an attic like ann frank did, who was killed by the nazi. he eventually apologized. so i m not sure what he s denying now. there s another moment in his testimony that he s now seeming to change previous statements over, and that is his view of vaccines, do you deny you ever spoke out against vaccines. let s listen to that moment. i ve never been an anti-vaxx i never told the public to avoid vacci vaccination. that s not true. it s not true at all.
