Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“President Biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history, that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech ... to censor his opponent.”

PolitiFact says: His claim mischaracterized the Biden administration's actions and overlooked U.S. history.

“The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has declared, ‘… the data support a consistent inverse association between fluoride exposure and children’s IQ.”

FactCheck.org says: RFK Jr quotes a draft report, which experts say "may overstate the evidence provided by studies with low exposure." The CDC and health groups endorse fluoride in tap water as a safe way to reduce dental decay.

“BlackRock + State Street + Vanguard are robbing Americans of the ability to own homes.”

Washington Post says: These companies sell index funds and do not buy single family homes

“I never said that ‘no vaccine is safe and effective.’”

FactCheck.org says: In a “PBS NewsHour” interview, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. repeatedly denied previously saying that “no vaccine” is safe and effective. But Kennedy said exactly that on the Lex Fridman podcast.

“They had to destroy ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and discredit it, and they had to tell everybody it’s not effective because if they had acknowledged that it’s effective … the whole $200 billion vaccine enterprise would have collapsed.”

FactCheck.org says: FDA authorization/approval for a treatment would not impact authorization/approval of a safe and effective vaccine. Several large, randomized controlled trials have found these drugs don't work for COVID-19.

“1989 is the year the [autism] epidemic began. It’s a red line. And 1989 was the year the vaccine schedule exploded. That doesn’t mean that’s a correlation. It does not mean causation, but it is something that should be looked at.”

FactCheck.org says: It's not possible to pinpoint the start of the increase in autism diagnoses to 1989. One vaccine was added to the vaccine schedule in 1989. And extensive research has failed to find a link between autism and vaccines.

“Vaccine companies get immunity “no matter how negligent they are … no matter how reckless the behavior, no matter how shoddy their manufacturing and testing process is.”

FactCheck.org says: Claims for manufacturing defects, negligence and fraud can be taken to court if one first goes through the vaccine compensation program and it either takes more than 240 days for a response or one rejects the decision.

“Atrazine in the water supply is contributing to "sexual dysphoria" in kids.”

PolitiFact says: Atrazine is a commonly used herbicide. No scientific studies in humans have linked atrazine exposure to gender dysphoria. It has been linked, in some studies, to birth defects and other reproductive health problems.

“Vaccines are not subject to placebo-controlled testing.”

“COVID-19 vaccines were manufactured by military contractors”

“Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland, you could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did,”

“The COVID-19 vaccine is the “deadliest vaccine ever made.”

PolitiFact says: VAERS is an unreliable source, and the agencies that run it say its reports cannot be used on their own to establish whether a vaccine caused any adverse event.

“Anthony Fauci owns half the patent for Moderna”

“the military has been authorized to use lethal force against political protesters”

“Today, on the CDC’s website right now, they list the 10 top advances — the 10 greatest advances in medical science. And one of them is abortion.”

FactCheck.org says: The CDC's list of the top 10 public health achievements, which appears in an agency journal article, does not include abortion as a main entry.
