Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Kennedy, whom President Donald Trump nominated for secretary of Health and Human Services, has frequently spoken out against vaccines. “What are you going to believe, his well-documented decades-long record, or the thing he said today when he was trying to get a job?” Kosta asked. Right?” Kosta rolled footage of Kennedy in 2020 saying that, if he could go back in time, he would stop his children from getting vaccinated. “That is the worst answer to what you would do with a time machine that I have ever heard,” Kosta said, adding in disbelief: “You can’t think of anyone else in your family that you would go back in time and try to prevent a shot from happening, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? No one else?” Kennedy’s father, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968.
