RFK Jr. is a right wing, conspiracy pushing, anti-vaccine candidate. He is presently running for the Democratic nomination for presidential candidate. The particular problem with the RFK Jr. candidacy is that he enjoys widespread support due to the Kennedy name and the values that the name has historically supported.

The present purpose of this community is to spread awareness of RFK Jr's actual positions and viewpoints in an effort to diminish his utility as a chaos agent and a spoiler in the upcoming election cycle.

This article, written by RFK Jr's family, highlights the damage and tragedy his anti-vaccine push has been causing. This was written before the pandemic of COVID-19. Sadly, RFK Jr.'s crusade against life saving medicine has not been impeded by the loving rebuke of his family, nor had it slowed down during a global pandemic that took an insurmountable toll on the human species. On the contrary, RFK Jr. spent the pandemic continuing to push his anti-vaccine diatribe, using public unhappiness from lockdown measures to amplify his message. The people that listened to RFK Jr. and other anti-vaccine mouthpieces are among those who payed the highest price for the pandemic. Anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown communities suffered the hardest.

There is blood on RFK Jr.'s hands.
