An incredible report that in detail describes what a genocide looks like…. But never once calls it a genocide. This isn’t on the reporter and photographer who are both in Palestine, it’s on every editor up the chain of NPR who don’t have the integrity to call it what it is. a genocide.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

On the left: Five times RFK Jr. stated in Senate in Confirmation Hearings the purpose of his 2019 trip to Samoa "had nothing to do with vaccines." On the right: Eight times RFK Jr. 2019's letter to Samoa Prime Minister referenced "vaccines" as proposal for visit (via FOIA).
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]?

    Mr. Kennedy. Nothing to do with …Dear Honorable Prime Minister,
Fa 'afeiloa ·j.
8/21/2026 Page 21
I am writing this letter to you in the hope that we might be helpful to the people of your great
nation.
For most of the world, investigation of adverse health events associated with vaccines----or any
pharmaceutical for that matter-is both difficult and time consuming. Health information
systems are rarely designed to support rapid study of associations between diagnoses and
specific vaccination events.
It is, however, known that vaccines vary both lot-to-lot from specific manufacturers, and
between manufacturers for a single vaccine type. This makes the likelihood of adverse lot and
manufacturer specific effects higher for smaller nations where all vaccine can be from few or a
single lot and manufacturer.
I believe the deaths associated recently with MMR vaccine in the Independent State of Samoa
may have been manifestations these effects.
To evaluate whether or not this has been experienced in Samoa, I would propose my team
conduct detailed health informatics assessment in Samoa of what happened with your MMR
vaccines. My team includes a physician who has performed informatics work for ministries of
health in 48 countries over the past JO years. He believes this work can be completed quickly.
Going forward, Samoa would be well served to expand capacity for quickly performing this class
of analysis for all pharmaceuticals prescribed and dispensed. This is invaluable not only for
investigation of severe adverse events, but also for the systematic improvement in management
of chronic illnesses like essential hypertension and diabetes. It will also be fully consistent with
the Samoa Health System Strengthening Program.
I wish to congratulate you and your Minister of Health for your quick attention to the tragic
deaths temporally associated with MMR vaccines.
I look forward to your reply to my proposal.

Robert Kennedy, Jr.
