Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vocal critic of vaccination policies, met with Argentine President Javier Milei at Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires to discuss the establishment of a new international health organization separate from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Key Points from the Meeting
-
Criticism of WHO: Kennedy has been critical of the WHO for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its perceived ties to China. He expressed his views on social media, stating he had a "wonderful meeting" with President Milei about their mutual withdrawal from the WHO and the creation of an alternative health system based on "gold-standard science."
-
Concerns About WHO: The proposal for a new health organization arises amid accusations that the WHO was influenced by China during the pandemic. Kennedy emphasized that his alternative would be free from "totalitarian impulses, corruption & political control."
-
Milei’s Office Response: As of the latest updates, Milei’s office had not responded to requests for comment regarding the meeting.
Context and Reactions
The meeting has garnered attention due to its timing and the backgrounds of the participants:
-
Elon Musk’s Involvement: Earlier this year, billionaire Elon Musk posed with a chainsaw associated with Milei at CPAC in Dallas. The chainsaw bore the inscription "las fuerzas del cielo," which translates to "the forces of heaven." This incident was notable as Musk was not the only speaker at CPAC to make controversial gestures.
-
Kennedy’s Background: Kennedy previously served as chairperson for Trump’s Commission on COVID-19 Vaccine Safety, where he was involved in discussions about America’s health agencies. His views on vaccination have raised concerns among some observers.
Controversial Statements
Kennedy has made several controversial claims regarding vaccines:
-
In a 2021 interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, he asserted that vaccines were causing more deaths than they were preventing, claiming there was no scientific evidence that vaccines reduced COVID-19 hospitalizations or death rates.
-
When questioned about evidence showing vaccines reduced hospitalizations or death rates, Kennedy stated: “I don’t know if you can say they reduce hospitalization because I don’t think we have any data.” He further claimed, “But I do know they’re killing people.”
-
In another interview with Laura Ingraham, when asked about evidence showing vaccines prevented severe illness or death related to COVID-19, Kennedy responded: “There isn’t much data yet but what little data we do have suggests it doesn’t prevent severe illness.”
Conclusion
The meeting between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Javier Milei highlights ongoing debates surrounding vaccination policies and the role of international health organizations. As discussions continue, the implications of their proposed alternative health system remain to be seen.
