Too little, too late. In fact, I think he's greatly confused. Why not Jewish?

Anti-Vaxxing Update

No one knows the truth any more, but my worldview / myth / meme is that RFK, Jr is an anti-vaxxer. 

I think RFK, Jr, is a poster-candidate for anti-vaxxing along with Tucker Carlson, et al.

Link here for the AP take. 

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic because of his strident opposition to vaccines. Yet, he insists he’s not anti-vaccine. He has associated with influential people on the far right – including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn – to raise his profile. Yet, he portrays himself as a true Democrat inheriting the mantle of the Kennedy family.

As he challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells on the campaign trail about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record actually shows.

Though Kennedy’s primary challenge to a sitting president is widely considered a longshot, he’s been sucking up media attention due to his famous name and the possibility that his run could weaken Biden ahead of what is expected to be a close general election in 2024. He’s drawn praise from Republican presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Meanwhile, Trump supporters, including his longtime ally Roger Stone, have ginned up interest by floating a Trump-Kennedy unity ticket.

So, now we have Fox News blaming the current measles epidemic in Florida (and soon, US) on migrants.

No.
