Then there was the time that RFK Jr. issued a dishonest and bogus scientific "challenge" to scientists to "prove" that vaccines are safe and effective.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/02/16/robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-robert-de-niro-issue-a-100000-vaccine-challenge-its-every-bit-as-much-as-scam-as-jock-doubledays-vaccine-challenge/ …
