RFK Jr. is a right wing, conspiracy pushing, anti-vaccine candidate. He is presently running for the Democratic nomination for presidential candidate. The particular problem with the RFK Jr. candidacy is that he enjoys widespread support due to the Kennedy name and the values that the name has historically supported.

The present purpose of this community is to spread awareness of RFK Jr's actual positions and viewpoints in an effort to diminish his utility as a chaos agent and a spoiler in the upcoming election cycle.

RFK Jr wrote the forward to an anti-vaccine propaganda book, “The Truth About COVID-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports, and the New Normal." Senator Warren wrote a letter to Amazon expressing her concerns that Amazon was profiting off of anti-vax pseudoscience and conspiracies. Amazon then notified the publisher that it would no longer be promoting the book, but the book remains for sale on the Amazon website.

In response to this, RFK Jr started a lawsuit against Senator Warren alleging that she had used the force of government to prohibit Amazon from promoting the book. That lawsuit has been dismissed by the Ninth Circuit
