I could not find a thread on this subject. NBC wrote about remarks he made which have not previously been reported. In 2019 he said, "'The institution, CDC and the vaccine program, is more important than the children that it’s supposed to protect.' And 'It’s the same reason we had a pedophile scandal in the Catholic Church,' he continued." NBC also reported, "At a 2013 speech for AutismOne, self-described as the largest parent-run autism conference, Kennedy vilified a nebulous group, including vaccine scientists, involved in what he falsely claimed was a conspiracy to hide vaccines as the cause of autism." Kennedy also likened the CDC to the abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. NBC also reported: "'But I would do a lot to see Paul Offit, all these ‘good people,’ behind bars.' Dr. Paul Offit is the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the co-inventor of a rotavirus vaccine."
These comments are...very concerning.
