RFK Jr. Adds “Leading Anti-Vaxxer” to Presidential Campaign
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has added a new hire to his presidential campaign staff: Del Bigtree, who, per The Daily Beast, has the distinction of being known as “one of the country’s leading anti-vaxxers,” which makes a lot of sense given RFK Jr.’s views on vaccines, like that “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (To be clear, such a take is what actual medical experts call not true at all.)
Bigtree, who will serve as Kennedy’s director of communications, said in a letter announcing his new role that working for Kennedy’s campaign was the “greatest opportunity” of his life to date. He also wrote that he had been “an unvaccinated, homeschooled child,” and that “the only doctor I ever saw was a chiropractor.” Of the pandemic, he said, “In January 2020, we witnessed what the dark forces of medical tyranny are capable of when they launched the greatest psychological operation the world has ever experienced,” and complained that “no one in charge during this fiasco has issued anything remotely close to an apology.” He also claimed that the COVID-19 vaccines have “proven to have negative efficacy, causing people to be more prone to infection than doing nothing at all.” In July, Kennedy suggested that COVID-19 was “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people. (Hopefully it does not have to be said, but we’ll say it anyway that neither this nor Bigtree’s claim re: COVID vaccines have any basis in reality.)
In an interview with The Daily Beast in 2019, Bigtree compared vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany, saying, “A Jewish community was going to be quarantined and not allowed to go into their own synagogues during Passover. To me, it seems so obvious that smacks of the issues in Germany.”
Last month, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Kennedy drawing votes from Joe Biden, with Donald Trump’s lead over Biden widening to five points when respondents were given the option to vote for the independent candidate.
