Kennedy’s Samoa Trip and Vaccine Claims | Tulsa News

New documents reveal Robert F. Kennedy Jr. secretly discussed vaccines in a letter to Samoa’s prime minister before his 2019 trip — directly contradicting his public claim that the visit had “nothing to do with vaccines.” The letter, written after two children died from measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines, even speculated manufacturing flaws may have caused the deaths. While HHS insists the trip was unrelated and denies any falsehoods, critics argue Kennedy’s actions fueled anti-vaccine sentiment and contributed to an outbreak that killed 83 mostly young children. Though Congress is unlikely to act now, some lawmakers vow to hold him accountable if they regain power — spotlighting ongoing scrutiny of his public health record.
