The right’s elevation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could now backfire because he has become increasingly involved in controversial anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Kennedy has been praised and celebrated by the right for his environmental activism, but his staunch opposition to vaccines and refusal to accept scientific evidence to the contrary is now being increasingly lambasted by both Republicans and Democrats alike. As anti-vaccine sentiments become increasingly unpopular and public health organizations continue to advocate for the safety and importance of vaccines, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s once revered standing with the right could now be jeopardized. Additionally, his involvement in the propagation of false and detrimental health information could also hurt the right politically as the issue continues to become more and more divisive.
