RFK Jr Tells His Favorite Anti-Vaccine Group to Delete Mock CDC Website

Anti-vaccine advocate and health secretary for the United States, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., ordered the nonprofit he once chaired to delete a webpage that mimicked the design of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while wrongly linking vaccines to autism.
