In a leaked video posted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s son, Bobby Kennedy III, former President Donald Trump was heard sharing vaccine skepticism with the independent presidential candidate in a phone call. The video, which has since been deleted, captured Trump discussing his views on childhood vaccines and the dosage amounts.

During the call, Trump criticized the vaccine schedule for children, suggesting that after taking a high volume of vaccines, “you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically.” This statement echoes his previous comments about vaccines, which have been widely debunked by medical experts.

The video was posted on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, and quickly gained attention. However, it was taken down shortly after it was posted, and Kennedy apologized to Trump for the video being released.

The phone call between Trump and Kennedy took place a day after Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania. The video also shows Trump discussing the assassination attempt and the phone call he received from President Joe Biden following the incident.

Kennedy, who has a long history of vaccine skepticism, is running as an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential election. His campaign has focused on issues such as vaccine safety and the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses in children.

Trump, who oversaw the initial U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been criticized for his handling of the crisis and his promotion of unproven treatments. His comments in the leaked video further highlight his controversial stance on vaccines.

The video has sparked a debate among experts and the public about the role of vaccines in public health and the importance of following scientific evidence. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has repeatedly emphasized the safety and effectiveness of vaccines in preventing serious illnesses and saving lives.

Kennedy’s son, Bobby Kennedy III, has not commented on why he posted and then deleted the video. However, his actions have raised questions about the relationship between Trump and Kennedy and their shared views on vaccines.

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the issue of vaccine skepticism is likely to remain a topic of discussion and debate. The leaked video serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in combating misinformation and promoting public health.
