Trump HHS Nominee RFK Jr Admitted to Funding the Movie “Plandemic”

In a likely 2020 or 2021 interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmental lawyer and prominent vaccine critic, discussed his organization, Children's Health Defense (CHD), and its connection to the controversial film Plandemic. The movie, which was widely circulated online, claims that the COVID-19 pandemic was not a natural occurrence but rather a deliberately orchestrated event by powerful organizations and governments for sinister motives.

Plandemic was produced and released in the early days of the COVID-19 crisis, becoming a viral sensation among conspiracy theorists. The film's central narrative revolves around claims that the pandemic was engineered by the pharmaceutical industry and other elites, with some of its assertions heavily criticized by public health experts and fact-checkers as misleading or outright false.

RFK Jr.'s Children’s Health Defense (CHD), which has long been at the forefront of anti-vaccine advocacy, supported Plandemic by sharing, promoting, and funding the film through its platform, a MeidasTouch review of CHD’s webpage including archive versions revealed, further solidifying its controversial stance against mainstream scientific views on vaccines and public health measures. Critics of have condemned both the film and it’s subsequent iterations, arguing that the spread of such unfounded claims undermines public trust in legitimate health responses to the pandemic, including the development and distribution of vaccines.

While Kennedy has framed his advocacy as a defense of individual rights and freedoms, particularly regarding vaccine choice, his financial backing of Plandemic could impact his confirmation battle.
