Allan Smith is a political reporter for NBC News.
Mike Rowe thought he was walking into a meeting with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to talk about his efforts to bolster the skilled trades. It became “pretty clear right away,” Rowe said, that the conversation about a month ago would be much broader than the longtime TV host’s interest in workforce development. The room was packed with not only Kennedy but also seven or eight additional advisers and staffers for his independent presidential campaign.
Kennedy has not made his anti-vaccine advocacy, which includes spreading the discredited idea that early-childhood vaccinations are linked to autism, a cornerstone of his campaign, and he has defended his past remarks by saying he is not against vaccines but merely skeptical of them. He has hired staff from the anti-vaccine advocacy space but has focused his campaign rhetoric on broader criticisms of public health leaders and pharmaceutical companies.
