RFK Jr. posted fishing pics as CDC reeled from shooting linked to vaccine disinfo

The article discusses the actions of anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a critical time for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While the CDC was dealing with the aftermath of a shooting linked to vaccine misinformation, Kennedy posted fishing pictures on social media, seemingly oblivious to the gravity of the situation. The article highlights Kennedy's long-standing campaign against COVID-19 vaccines, which he has consistently vilified. This stance has made him a prominent figure in the anti-vaccine movement, despite the overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. The article underscores the disconnect between Kennedy's social media activities and the serious implications of the shooting incident, which was connected to the spread of vaccine-related disinformation. This juxtaposition raises concerns about the impact of such misinformation and the responsibility of public figures in times of crisis.
