1. The
@RepublicanAGs
have joined forces with Children's Health Defense, RFK Jr's anti-vax group, to spread misinformation about vaccines and COVID

The relationship includes an illegal 50K contribution — but goes much deeper

Here are more tweets from Judd Legum on the topic. I don't have a subscription to his newsletter so had to rely on his tweets.

2. In December, Louisana
@AGJeffLandry
, part of the
@RepublicanAGs
leadership team, invited RFK Jr to testify at a legislative hearing on a COVID vaccine requirement for schools.

Landry and Kennedy sat side-by-side.

3.
@AGJeffLandry
praised Children's Health Defense, the world's leading source of vaccine misinfo, and urged the panel to "listen very closely" to RFK Jr

RFK Jr. proceeded to falsely claim COVID vaccines are the “deadliest vaccine ever made"


4. Last Friday, Landry filed an amended complaint challenging the Biden administration's rule requiring health care workers to get vaccinated. The complaint does not just object to the mandate but argues that COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous & ineffective


5. There were 15 other Republican Attorneys General, including @ReplublicanAGs chair
@AGAlanWilson
, who signed onto Landry's suit.

They endorsed the false contention that COVID-19 vaccines are dangerous and useless against the omicron variant.


6. RFK Jr, not surprisingly, is very enthused about this new lawsuit, praising Landry and highlighting the lawsuit's false claims about COVID vaccines.

7.
@RepublicanAGs
have still not commented on the 50K contribution it received from RFK's Children's Health Defense last July — A CONTRIBUTION THAT CHILDREN'S HEALTH DEFENSE ADMITS IS ILLEGAL


RFK Jr's father and uncle are probably turning over in their graves. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's involved in this Ottawa trucker business that is spreading to the US.
