Caroline Kennedy has called her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a “predator” in a letter to U.S. senators ahead of his confirmation hearings for Secretary of Health and Human Services. She condemned him for his controversial views on vaccines, his role in promoting vaccine misinformation, and his involvement in a measles outbreak in Samoa.
Kennedy also criticized RFK Jr. for exploiting parental fears about vaccines for profit. Her public denouncement, encouraged by her son Jack Schlossberg, has shocked the family and sparked debate ahead of his Senate confirmation. The Senate is set to vote on his nomination soon.
