Vaccine Expert Says RFK Jr. Is "One-Man Wrecking Ball Against Public Health"

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a 20-year history of being an anti-vaccine propagandist, science denialist and conspiracy theorist," says Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and a physician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Offit was removed from the Food and Drug Administration's vaccine advisory committee last week without explanation and says Kennedy's undermining of public health is "causing children to die unnecessarily."
