RFK Jr. headlines sold-out anti-vaccine conference alongside Andrew Wakefield
摘要
美国卫生部长小罗伯特·肯尼迪将于本周晚些时候在华盛顿出席一场反疫苗会议并发表主旨演讲，该会议由他曾领导的“儿童健康防御”组织主办。肯尼迪将与安德鲁·韦克菲尔德等人同台。韦克菲尔德因虚假声称MMR疫苗与自闭症有关而被吊销行医执照。尽管被医学界排斥，他仍是反疫苗社区的代表人物，其错误说法在“儿童健康防御”和肯尼迪的推动下持续传播。
US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will deliver a keynote address at an anti-vaccine conference being held in Washington, DC, later this week and hosted by the anti-vaccine organization he once led, Children's Health Defense (CHD). The organization announced Monday that Kennedy had signed on to the event.
Kennedy will appear alongside other high-profile figures in the anti-vaccine world, including Andrew Wakefield, the disgraced former doctor who was stripped of his medical license over a fraudulent, now-retracted study that falsely claimed a link between autism and the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. An investigation by a medical board found that Wakefield had mistreated vulnerable children and that his actions amounted to serious professional misconduct.
Despite being ostracized from the medical community, Wakefield has become an enduring figure in the anti-vaccine community. His dangerous falsehood that vaccines cause autism has also endured—with significant help from CHD and Kennedy, who have embraced and widely promoted the erroneous link.
