Footage of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once denying — live on CNN — saying something that he most definitely said has gone viral again amid controversy over non-existent studies that were cited in his wide-ranging “Make America Healthy Again” report.
In the clip, anchor Kasie Hunt immediately brought the receipts to Kennedy, who was then still an independent presidential candidate before dropping out of the 2024 race and throwing his support behind former rival Donald Trump.
Hunt teed up the moment by telling Kennedy: “You have gained notoriety for your skepticism about vaccines and over the summer in an interview you said, ‘There is no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.’ Do you still believe that?”
Sewage water swimmer Kennedy replied: “I never said that.”
Hunt interrupted.
“So, stop me,” she said. “We have the clip. Please play the clip.”
Footage was then aired of Kennedy indeed saying that he believes “there is no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.”
