RFK compared CDC to 'Nazi death camps' and child vaccines to church sex abuse: report
Raw StoryA new report unearthed years-old comments made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — President-elect Donald Trump's nomination to head the Department of Health and Human Services — in which Kennedy said a separate federal health agency harms children similar to "Nazi death camps." Additionally, Kennedy called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a "cesspool of corruption" filled with people who profit off Americans and who hurt children in a manner similar to “Nazi death camps.” Kennedy and Trump's transition team didn't respond to NBC's requests for comment. He's faced intense questions and backlash over his controversial statements, including pushing various baseless conspiracy theories, including that the federal government secretly orchestrated the COVID-19 pandemic and broadly calling vaccines into question, even claiming: "There's no vaccine that is safe and effective." "Childhood vaccines save 3.5 to 5 million lives every year," the organization wrote on its website.
