Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. made a bold claim in a Monday interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.
LifeZette reports that Kennedy, a professor at Pace University, said:
“There have been 17,000 deaths reported to VAERS from the Covid vaccines. And that’s more, in the last eight months, than all vaccines – the billions and billions of vaccines – combined over the past 30 years. This vaccine appears to be killing more people than all vaccines combined.”
Kennedy views his comments as sobering but does not believe they are disputable because he cites Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) statistics on the subject.
Kennedy also noted that the CDC has admitted that the number of vaccine-related adverse reactions and deaths are likely severely underreported.
Watch:
Kennedy, a nephew of former United States President John F. Kennedy and a lifelong Democrat, says he does not oppose vaccines but that he and Children’s Health Defense, the organization he founded, are dedicated to questioning vaccine safety.
MediaMatters repudiated the claim in an article calling Kennedy a “conspiracy theorist” and “one of the most prominent backers of baseless conspiracy theories attempting to link conditions such as autism to vaccines.”
Insider notes that being passionate about the proper use of vaccines is not a new issue for Kennedy.
Kennedy co-founded a Food Allergy Initiative in the 1990s and, since that time, has expressed concerns that some allergies and serious conditions, such as autism and cancer, were linked to vaccines routinely administered to children.
Desiring to educate people on the topic, Kennedy has written several books on what he terms “inadequate vaccine safety,” including the book “Vaccine Villains: What the American Public Should Know About the Industry.”
In 2016 Kennedy founded the World Mercury Project, which, in 2018, became Children’s Health Defense.
In his latest book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,” Kennedy suggests that misinformation, mismanagement, and ill intent are hallmarks of the current pandemic.
The World News notes that in February, Kennedy, 67, was banned from Instagram “for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines.”
The CDC maintains that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and recommends children ages 5 and older be vaccinated.
In an interview with Mediate News, Dr. Pradheep J. Shanker, a radiologist in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, said that making a judgment on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines based on VAERS reporting is “not accurate.”
He added, “VAERS was intended to cast a wide net to capture any possible or potential complication that even has the remotest possibility of being related to the vaccine. Any adverse event is considered reportable.”
In Kennedy’s latest book, he accuses Dr. Anthony Fauci of “intentionally bungling the pandemic, killing alternatives to the vaccine, and launching an assault on the First Amendment in order to silence critics.”
A press release by Corranforce notes that a group of doctors and scientists submitted an open letter to the European Medicines Agency to express their concerns about vaccines.
The letter references their concern of “serious potential consequences of COVID-19 vaccines,” mentioning a rise in reported “blood clotting abnormalities, strokes, and internal bleeding.”
The letter closes with a demand for additional testing and recommends “approval for the use of the gene-based vaccines be withdrawn.”
