Independent presidential candidate Robert F
. Kennedy Jr. has spent years using his famous name to disseminate false information about vaccines and other topics in a time when spreading conspiracy theories has become a powerful way to grow a constituency. An Associated Press examination of his work and its impact found Kennedy has earned money, fame and political clout while leaving some people suffering from the fallout. Kennedy's campaign did not return emails seeking comment from the candidate, who is the son of the late Sen.
Lydia Greene, a mother who lives in the Canadian province of Alberta, previously identified herself as anti-vaccine and was a devoted Kennedy follower. She said she thought he was heroic because he was saying things that other people were too afraid to say. She declined all vaccines for her son after buying into the insistence by Kennedy and other anti-vaccine “gurus” that vaccines cause autism.
