You can't blame a dude for deaths because he met with someone that was an anti-vaxer. That's like saying Clinton, Trump and anyone else that has met Epstein, raped little kids. RFK has met with a lot of people to try and understand the potential harms of vaccines.

I don't know much about the Samoa situation but from what I quickly gathered: "Vaccine rates had plummeted after two children died in 2018 from a measles vaccine that a nurse had incorrectly mixed with a muscle relaxant. The government suspended the vaccine program for months."

Also, every talk and interview I see with Bobby Kennedy he emphatically states that he is not anti-vax but rather pro vaccine safety. Big difference. He himself is fully compliant with the vaccine schedule, as are his children. But he wants to lift the protections Pharma companies get when producing vaccines. It's literally impossible to sue a pharma company for vaccine injuries. They're shielded from any liability. This is wrong. Pharma companies aren't pure evil but they're also in pursuit of double digit earnings etc. It's profit driven. When there is a man trying to upend your apple cart, you will call him crazy, make him appear to be irrational etc. It's remarkable how effective they have been in getting us all to come to their aid and vilify anyone that dares to question if a vaccine is fully safe or not? Wild to me. Fwiw, my kids are vaccinated but not all of the vaccines. There is literally no reason my kids need to be vaccinated for Hep B for example. Yet, it's on the schedule now. This is a disease largely transmitted by IV drug use and risky sexual behavior.

Anyways, I would be willing to bet that RFK had very little to do with a measles outbreak in Samoa. But it makes people dismiss him easily. It's nice to be able to do that. It means you don't have to look into nuance. Much easier to paint someone as "good," or, "bad," or in this case, "conspiratorial."
