Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, has been known to use — and sometimes apologize for — extreme language and metaphors when speaking about what he perceives as a threat from vaccines. In 2019, he called the federal agency’s vaccine division a fascist enterprise and accused it of knowingly hurting children.
Kennedy and the Trump transition team did not respond to requests for comment. The CDC declined to comment. “Is it hyperbole when I say these people should be in jail? They should be in jail and the key should be thrown away,” Kennedy told the cheering AutismOne crowd before invoking the Bible. “What Jesus Christ says is that anybody who harms a hair of these little children that it would be better if a millstone was tied around their neck and they were thrown in the deepest part of the ocean and it would be better yet if they had never been born.
“To me this is like Nazi death camps, what happened to these kids,” Kennedy said of the rising number of children diagnosed with autism and what he described as a link to vaccines — which had been . “I can’t tell you why somebody would do something like that. I can’t tell you why ordinary Germans participated in the Holocaust.” “I don’t think this is going to happen because they always manage, the bad guys somehow manage to weasel their way out of it,” he said.
“They’re all telling us what we know is true is not true,” he went on. “They’re imposing an alternative reality on all of us, a ‘Matrix’ reality, and we’re sitting here and we know it’s all a lie.” in response to Trump’s choice of Kennedy for HHS secretary that defended vaccines as “the safest and most cost-effective way to protect children, families and communities from disease, disability and death.
Another branch of the CDC “that we worry about,” Kennedy said in 2017, was the Immunization Safety Office, which, alongside other agencies, monitors vaccine safety and reports findings and concerns to ACIP.
