Kennedy’s Samoa Trip and Vaccine Claims | Little Rock News

Kennedy Jr. may have misled Congress during his confirmation hearings by downplaying the role of vaccines in his 2019 trip to Samoa — a visit that preceded a deadly measles outbreak claiming 83 lives. Kennedy, then an anti-vaccine activist, sent a letter to Samoa’s prime minister referencing vaccines eight times, asking to investigate vaccine-related deaths and manufacturing flaws.

Senator Ron Wyden is now pushing for a Justice Department referral, warning that misleading Congress has consequences.
