RFK Jr. claims Bill Gates controls global vaccine message

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims that Bill Gates controls the global message about vaccines by using his wealth to censor any negative information.

Kennedy Jr., the son of Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of John F. Kennedy, penned an op-ed for anti-vaccine organization Children's Health Defense on Tuesday.

He repeated claims that Bill Gates controlled the WHO, labeling it a marketing arm for Gates's vaccine empire. He alleged that Gates forced the WHO to declare vaccine hesitancy a top global health threat and said that Gates used his influence as the largest donor to the WHO to do so.

Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine advocate, said that Gates was trying to shape the narrative around vaccinations by pumping money into fact-checking websites to mislead the public.

He said that social media sites like Facebook and Pinterest were using advice from the WHO and the CDC to say which online statements are misinformation or hoaxes and said that Bill Gates was responsible for this since he donates so much money to both organizations.

Kennedy Jr. doubled down on claims that Bill Gates "owns" the WHO. He previously claimed that Gates provides 10% of the WHO's funding and that the organizations "begs and rolls over" for Gates's money.

However, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest merely employed a strategy of curbing anti-vaccine propaganda that misleads parents concerned about vaccinations.
