The Fundamental Problem with R.F.K., Jr.,s Nomination to H.H.S. - The New Yorker (No paywall)
In 2018, two children in Samoa died after receiving measles vaccines, because the nurses who administered them had mistakenly mixed the vaccine powder with a muscle relaxant. Local vaccine skeptics seized on the tragedy, and the government temporarily suspended its immunization program. Childrens Health Defense, an organization chaired by RobertF. Kennedy, Jr., posted about the events on Facebook, where the group was one of the largest purchasers of anti-vaccine advertisements.

But immunization rates remained perilously low, with less than a third of infants getting vaccinated, and, a few months later, the country experienced a devastating measles outbreak. Nearly six thousand people were infected, and more than seventy children died.

He later called the outbreak mild, and branded a Samoan vaccine opponent a medical freedom hero.
