Robert F. Kennedy (RFK), Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a former environmental lawyer turned anti-vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist. He has been the chairman of Children's Health Defense, a nonprofit that is a major source of vaccine misinformation. CHD campaigns against various public health programs — like fluoridation of drinking water — and has frequently allied with QAnon conspiracy theorists. Kennedy has platformed and promoted racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Kennedy ran as a Democrat and then as an independent in the 2024 presidential election before suspending his campaign to endorse Donald Trump. He is the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, a connection which he frequently exploits.
