Recently, a video surfaced on social media showing a phone call between former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., where Trump appeared to endorse false theories about vaccine safety. The video, posted by Kennedy's son, Bobby Kennedy III, captured Trump discussing vaccines and expressing skepticism towards public health professionals.
In the video, Trump mentioned concerns about the number of vaccine doses given to children, suggesting that high volumes of vaccines could lead to drastic changes in babies. He also questioned the impact of vaccines, despite public health experts affirming their safety and effectiveness.
Following the release of the video, Kennedy Jr. apologized to Trump for its dissemination, and the post containing the video was subsequently deleted. The conversation between Trump and Kennedy Jr. took place after an alleged assassination attempt on Trump during a campaign rally.
It's worth noting that Kennedy Jr. has a history of making false claims about vaccine safety and efficacy. He has criticized Trump for his handling of public health measures during the Covid-19 pandemic and the rapid development of a Covid vaccine.
Efforts to obtain comments from the Kennedy campaign, the Trump campaign, and the Biden campaign regarding this incident are ongoing.
