Citing unverified data, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed in December 2021 that the Covid-19 vaccine was the "deadliest vaccine ever made." A few months prior, he petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to rescind authorization of the Covid-19 shots. The FDA denied the petition. The agency has said the shots' benefits outweigh their risks.
At a 2023 press dinner, Kennedy suggested that Covid-19 was ethnically "targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese." Global data on Covid-19 cases and deaths discredits this claim.
