Richard C. Cook has misframed the posotion of Robert Kennedy Jr.:

Based on available information, RFK Jr. has expressed critical views on mRNA vaccines and has taken actions to impact their availability and recommendations.

Actions and criticisms

As Health Secretary, he canceled hundreds of millions of dollars pledged to Moderna for developing a pandemic flu vaccine based on mRNA technology, citing concerns about its safety.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under his leadership, removed the recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination in healthy pregnant women and adjusted the guidance for healthy children, suggesting they "may" get the shots instead of a stronger recommendation https://www.statnews.com/2025/05/15/covid-vaccine-recommendations-rfk-jr-reportedly-reversing-for-children-pregnant-women/].

He has also called for all new vaccines to be tested against placebos and for the development of new vaccines to avoid mRNA technology.

Reasons cited

RFK Jr. has expressed concerns about the safety and efficacy of mRNA technology, describing it as "under-tested".

He believes people should have the freedom to choose whether or not to be vaccinated, and that this choice should be informed by accurate information about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
