Kennedy's Samoa Trip Under Fire | Lubbock News

New documents reveal Robert F. Kennedy Jr. secretly sought to study Samoa’s MMR vaccines before his 2019 trip—contradicting his sworn testimony that the visit had nothing to do with vaccines. His letter to the Prime Minister referenced two child deaths linked to the vaccine and proposed an investigation, using the term “vaccine” eight times. Despite this, he repeatedly insisted the trip was about introducing a medical informatics system. Critics argue his presence emboldened anti-vaccine sentiment in Samoa, which later suffered a deadly measles outbreak killing 83 children. While HHS denies any wrongdoing, the documents reignite scrutiny over Kennedy’s credibility—and though legal action is unlikely now, the controversy shows no sign of fading.
