76% Informative

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed the unfounded theory that vaccines cause autism.

He founded a nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense , to promote the same message.

Study after study has failed to find evidence of a link between vaccines and autism.

Kennedy frequently mentions autism, asthma, food allergies, and ADHD when discussing increases in childhood diseases.

Kennedy has presented himself in recent months as a champion for children’s health, and someone who can figure out how to slash the national debt by improving Americans ’ well-being.

He vows to exorcise corporate greed from regulatory agencies, clean up the water, air and food supply.

Kennedy has argued that federal agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration , are puppets controlled by big industries.

Kennedy : 60% of children in the U.S. are disabled by chronic disease.

Some estimates of pediatric chronic disease prevalence go as high as 20% .

Studies have found that the more negative early-life experiences a child has, the more likely they are to have a chronic condition.
