(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) ABC News edited a Thursday interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because he dared to question the COVID-19 vaccine narrative.
According to the Daily Caller, Kennedy opposed the beliefs about the COVID-19 vaccine of Linsey Davis, a woman who interviewed him. Davis later told the viewers that the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate spread “false claims” about the experimental shot. Instead of exposing ABC viewers to different points of view, the network aired a part of the interview where Davis pressed Kennedy on his own family’s disagreements with his views on vaccines instead.
“We should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccines,” Davis said after the interview.
“Data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine has prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease.”
“He also made misleading claims about the relationship between vaccination and autism. Research shows that vaccines and the ingredients used in the vaccines do not cause autism, including multiple studies involving more than a million children and major medical associations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the advocacy group Autism Speaks,” she added.
ABC aired the part of the interview where Davis confronted Kennedy over his claims that there is a correlation between vaccinations and autism.
“Wait a minute, who debunked it?” Kennedy asked Davis in the non-censored portion.
“We have not seen any kind of scientific connections from the CDC, the World Health Organization…” she replied.
To this, Kennedy responded by saying that these organizations are a part of the system that pushes the vaccines to people.
When he was confronted about the fact that some of his own family members stated that they won’t vote for him in 2024, Kennedy — one of eleven children — said that he can’t expect everyone in his family to agree with his views or vote for him.
On May 19, 2019, two of his siblings, Kathleen and Joseph II, and his niece Maeve Kennedy McKean wrote a piece that was published in Politico Magazine calling his position on vaccines “tragically wrong” and “dangerous.”
His sisters, Kerry and Rory, also shared the position of his other relatives by saying that, even though they admire his position regarding the environment, they won’t be able to vote for him due to his position on vaccines.
