RFK Jr's former nonprofit posted a fake CDC website that criticized vaccines.
Kennedy asked the Children's Health Defense to remove the site but only after the NYTimes contacted him about it.
Kennedy is currently using the CDC to waste resources on further studies on the long disproven link began vaccines and autism and, in the process, further bolstering antivaxxers' delusional hysteria.

Hey #RFKJr, you say you want to study #ChronicIllness. Well, I have one! It was caused by #COVID19, and now you want to close the office that studies #LongCovid? Forgive the technical terminology, Mr. Secretary, but rot in hell. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:flwgfsh2mhpoqwjwwt2mesjv/post/3ll6ah6wczk2s
NIH Ends Future Funding to Study the Health Effects of Climate Change
—
It’s unclear whether the guidance will impact active grants, but it appears to halt opportunities for future studies. One climate health expert said the directive would have a “devastating” impact on much-needed research.
#RFKJr is ON IT! 
"More US states report measles cases amid vaccine misinformation
Ohio, Maryland and Alabama among states to report new cases, with 378 confirmed in first few months of 2025" #measles
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/23/measles-spread-vaccine-misinformation
In a social media post, #HHS Secy #RFKJr said his agency "is fully prepared to take on the responsibility of supporting individuals with special needs."
Not everyone was convinced.
"This is NOT a minor bureaucratic reorganization — it is a fundamental redefinition of how our country treats #children with #disabilities," said Keri Rodrigues, president of the National #Parents Union, which represents >1,800 parent orgs across the country.
In a social media post, Sen #PattyMurray, D-WA, called the potential changes "a clear violation of #education & #appropriations #law."
The Education Dept has a dedicated Office of #SpecialEducation & Rehabilitative Services, &, as w/the federal #StudentLoan portfolio, it's unclear how these collective responsibilities on behalf of #children w/ #disabilities could be moved legally w/o a vote of #Congress.
This appears to be a reference to the federal #law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (#IDEA), which the #Education Dept administers. The law guarantees students w/ #disabilities the right to a #free, appropriate education &, in 2024, sent ~$15B to schools to help pay for #SpecialEducation services. The law also makes clear that it is the secretary of education's responsibility to administer these funds.
…As recently as Thurs, WH press sec Karoline Leavitt had assured reporters that, "when it comes to #StudentLoans & #PellGrants, those will still be run out of the Dept of #Education."
After announcing these potential changes to the federal student loan portfolio, #Trump then said, "Bobby Kennedy, the Health &Human Services [secretary], will be handling special needs," referring to #RFKJr. [

I'm sure #RFKJr will get right on it.
"New cases of a dangerous, drug-resistant fungus have been identified in at least two states’ hospital systems"
As the CDC scrubs more and more data to comply with the Trump regime’s anti science policies, a clone website has popped up that’s filled with anti vaccine misinformation.
The website looks just like the “real” CDC, but links to “Parent Testimonials” which are on the Children’s Health Defence website.
What’s the CHD? An anti vaccine NGO which was led by RFK Jr until this past December. They’re also hosting the CDC clone.
I can’t stress how dangerous this website will be if it goes live.
There’s so much misinformation on the internet already, and most people don’t know how to determine the good from the bad.
With the logo, design and language used here… people WILL believe it’s the real CDC website. More children will be harmed.
Is there a way to stop this? I genuinely don’t know, but I sincerely hope public outcry can get it taken offline.

No, having measles does NOT protect anyone from cancer in the future. This is rank disinformation of the stupidest sort possible, and anyone peddling it needs to be held responsible for doing so and for believing arrant toxic nonsense that any informed and halfway intelligent person knows better than to believe.
"These people are so committed to their beliefs that they literally lost their daughter and are still convinced that, somehow, the vaccine is worse. What is it that they think is worse than death? I get that they don’t want to feel responsible for their daughter’s death (which, let’s be clear — they absolutely are), but if that doesn’t convince them they are wrong, I’m not certain anything will."

And their daughter who died? Well, this was God's will. Her time in this world was over and she's now better off.
The interview in which they made these statements was given to an anti-vaxxer group associated with Director of the Department of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The parents of the unvaccinated 6-year-old girl in Texas who died of measles last month say they still do not encourage any parent to have children vaccinated. They maintain that getting measles builds the immune system and prevents cancer in future. They say that measles are not as bad as they're made out to be.

Went to Burger Boy the other day. Had just ordered when I saw a Trump cutout behind the counter. “Why do you have a cutout of Trump?” “Ah, our owner blah blah we also have a Biden hat blah blah…” “So is he a Trump supporter?” “Well, he’s 50/50… although he really loves RFK Jr.…”
Needless to say, no more burgers from Burger Boy for me.
If you’re looking for the best burger in Bray, by the way, and don’t want a side of fascism with it, check out Gimme Burger.
"The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say."
Unfortunately, this news isn't from the Onion. RFK Jr is anti: science & vaccine.
