RFK Jr.: Media hitting me harder than Trump - Lemmy.world

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blamed the media for dragging his campaign Sunday, saying he has been slammed “even more than President Trump was slammed” by mainstream media outlets. “I’ve been really, you know, slammed in a way that I think is unprecedented,” Kennedy said during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic who is running a longshot primary campaign against President Joe Biden, is more popular among Republicans than Democrats, according to polling. The nephew of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, Kennedy Jr. has been hit with backlash for his stances on vaccines, particularly recent comments he made suggesting that the coronavirus could have been “targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people,” while sparing Jewish and Chinese people. Kennedy denied allegations of racism and antisemitism, saying on Twitter: “I have never, ever suggested that the Covid-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews.” “I mean, listen, if I believed the stuff that’s written about me in the papers and reported about me on the mainstream news sites, I would definitely not vote for me,” Kennedy told host Maria Bartiromo. “I would think I was a very despicable person.”

Although the media hit Trump really hard, the left-on-left violence seems pretty unprecedented.

It;s clear that the left knows that he’s not establishment, like Biden is, and that if he got a fair chance, he’d probably stomp Biden.

A vaccine conspiracy theorist has no chance against any sane person

He wants vaccine testing similar to almost all of western europes. That’s not a conspiracy theory.

sane person

So…not biden?

If they weren’t nervous, they wouldn’t be trying everything they could to discredit, trash and suppress his voice.

Our childhood vaccines are documented to be safe. He is a conspiracy theorist who is assisting the murder of children.

He’s concerned that some vaccines are unnecessary for kids that we require for every kid.

For example the NHS in the UK advises against the chickenpox vaccine.

I just looked it up and the NHS does not warn against it at all. They only administer it to certain people.

The NHS also doesn’t buy enough MRI machines, leading to long wait times. Does that mean they’re anti-MRI? No, they’re just frugal

You’re right, I apologize for my framing.

They only recommend it to a small minority of people.

So…they don’t recommend it to the majority of people.

Again, reread my comment about efficiency and cost-saving.

Or are you agreeing that it’s perfectly safe and we have no reason to doubt that?

Again, re-read my comment about RFK Jr. wanting our standards to be more in line with the rest of our peer countries.

Our FDA is bribed by big-pharma, who constantly lie to consumers and have no repurcussions, despite us know they lie to us. I’d rather break out of the system where big pharma runs our healthcare policies.
