Kennedy Jr. apologizes for comparing vaccines, holocaust
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRobert F. Kennedy Jr. apologizes for using the word “holocaust” to describe the effects of mandatory vaccines.
“I want to apologize to all whom I offended by my use of the word ‘holocaust’ to describe the autism epidemic,” says Kennedy, an environmental activist, who has also joined the opposition to mandatory vaccines.
The likening of vaccines to a holocaust was “inappropriate and insensitive,” the Anti-Defamation League says.
“They get the shot, that night they have a fever of 103, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone,” Kennedy was quoted by the Sacramento Bee as saying April 7 at a screening of an anti-vaccination film in the city. “This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country.”
