Family of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slams his views on vaccines as 'tragically wrong'

Three members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family are forcefully denouncing his anti-vaccine views, arguing that the lifelong Democrat "is part of a misinformation campaign that's having heartbreaking — and deadly — consequences."

Kennedy, the son of late presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, is one of the more notable anti-vaccine activists. He wrote a book in 2014 about mercury in vaccines and lobbied Congress to give parents exemptions from state requirements for vaccinating their children.

Wednesday's Politico op-ed — written by former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former US Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II and Maeve Kennedy McKean — pointed to the latest outbreak of measles in the United States and worldwide.

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Joe and Kathleen's brother and Maeve's uncle — is part of this campaign to attack the institutions committed to reducing the tragedy of preventable infectious diseases," the authors wrote.
