Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he “bluntly” confronted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about the dangers of “spreading misinformation” after two individuals died in the state of measles
RFK Jr doesn’t actually believe vaccines are dangerous. The Children’s Health Defense Fund was paying him up to $500,000 a year, and his whole role in the Trump administration is because of antivax. Exactly like Wakefield, the only motivation is money.
But antivax is boomin’ …CHDF revenues
2019: $2.94M revenue
2020: $6.83M
2021: $15.99M
2022: $23.54M
2023: $16.15M
2024: $15.23M
Where does this money come from: Vanguard, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley…note how donations doubled in 2020 and increased 500% by 2024.
Those larger donations, say from vangaurd for example, aren’t coming from vanguard. They are coming from a donor using vanguard as a conduit to hide their identity.
