![RFK Jr. Confirmation Hearing before Senate Finance Committee (January 29, 2025):
Mr. Kennedy. In 2018, two more kids died following the MMR vaccine. And
the government in Samoa banned the MMR vaccine. I arrived a year later
when vaccination rates were already below the – below any – any
previous level. I went there, nothing to do with vaccines. I went
there to introduce a medical informatics system with digitalized
records in Samoa and make health delivery much more efficient. I never taught or gave any public statement about vaccines.
RFK Jr. Confirmation Hearing before Senate Health Committee (January 30, 2025):
Senator Markey. Thank you. Yesterday under oath, you told
my colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee that when you
went to Samoa in June 2019, it, quote, ``had nothing to do with
vaccines.'' Will you confirm again today that the trip had
nothing to do with vaccines?
Mr. Kennedy. My purpose in going down there had nothing to
do with vaccines.
Senator Markey. Well, I have in my hand a blog post in
2021, in which you say the anti-vaccine group Children's Health
Defense, which you ran, offered to fund the purpose of the trip
to Samoa. And in the same post you state that the trip was
ultimately arranged by an anti-vaccine activist. And during the
trip you met with an activist who later compared vaccine
mandates to Nazi Germany. And during that trip you also
discussed vaccines with the Prime Minister and the director
general of health of Samoa. The Director General of Health said
you specifically discussed your views on vaccine safety fears.
And with unanimous consent, I will submit those blog posts, Mr.
Chairman, into the record.
The Chair. Without objection.
[The following information can be found on page 131 in
Additional Material:]
Senator Markey. I am going to ask you--I will ask you
again. Did the trip have nothing to do with vaccines as you
told my colleagues [inaudible]?
