Trump has long been a skeptic of childhood vaccines, leaked video with RFK Jr. reveals

07/22/2024 / By Belle Carter

A leaked video of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talking on the phone with former President Donald Trump about the latter’s skepticism of the efficacy and safety of childhood vaccines recently went viral.

The footage is a little over one minute and 40 seconds long, where Kennedy is seen standing close to an American flag in a dimly lit room, holding a phone and listening to Trump on speaker. In the since-deleted footage, Trump can be heard saying, “I agree with you, man. Something’s wrong with that whole system and it’s the doctors you find. Remember I said, ‘I want to do small doses.'”

“When you feed a baby, Bobby, a vaccination that is like 38 different vaccines, and it looks like it’s meant for a horse, not a, you know, 10-pound or 20-pound baby… and then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically. I’ve seen it so many times,” Trump continued. “And then you hear that it doesn’t have an impact, right? But you and I talked about that a long time ago.”

Trump and Kennedy are political rivals who have occasionally criticized each other during the campaign. But the clip is said to have been recorded on July 14, a day before the two saw each other in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This stoked speculations that Kennedy might be about to exit the race and endorse Trump.

“I would love you to do something,” Trump can be heard saying. “And I think it’ll be so good for you and so big for you. And we’re going to win.” Kennedy then answered: “Yeah.”

A lot of people received the news with optimism, citing a possibility that Kennedy would be a member of Trump’s cabinet as soon as he assumed office. However, Kennedy spokeswoman Stefanie Spear said that he was not dropping out. (Related: RFK Jr. confirms meeting with Trump but firmly denies any plans to withdraw and endorse former POTUS.)

The leaked footage shows that Trump holds to a stance of skepticism about childhood vaccination that he was publicly known for before the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) jabs rollout under his administration’s Operation Warp Speed. Politico revealed that the said project was the brainchild of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, “who was often at odds with the White House.”

His advisory board included National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and his plan won the support of White House senior adviser Jared Kushner as well as White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

Trump was criticized in 2017 for a statement he made in 2015 linking vaccines to autism: “People that work for me, just the other day, two years old, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine and came back and a week later, got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic.”

In 2014, Trump tweeted, “Healthy young child goes to the doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!”

Meanwhile, Kennedy is known for vehemently opposing vaccines, a stance he adopted after the mothers of vaccine-injured children implored him to look into the research linking thimerosal to neurological injuries, including autism. He founded Children’s Health Defense, an organization with the stated mission of “ending childhood health epidemics by eliminating toxic exposure,” largely through vaccines.

Kennedy apologizes to Trump for video leak

Kennedy’s son, Bobby Kennedy III, was the one who posted the said video. The independent presidential candidate has already apologized to Trump that the private phone call had been exposed. The younger Kennedy said he just wanted to expose Trump’s “real opinion” on immunizations, but he immediately deleted the clip.

“When President Trump called me, I was taping with an in-house videographer. I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately. I am mortified that this was posted. I apologize to the president,” Kennedy tweeted on X.

In posting the recording, Bobby suggested Fauci should be in prison and appeared to suggest his father should have been Trump’s running mate on a “unity ticket” rather than “JD ‘fire all the unvaccinated nurses’ Vance.” He also implied Republicans and Democrats were subordinate to Pfizer, a multinational vaccine producer. Kennedy III added: “This is not a cheapfake or somebody doing a Trump voice. This is the real deal.”

Spear claimed that the meeting in Milwaukee was to discuss national unity and that Kennedy hopes to meet with leaders of the Democratic Party as well.
