the anti-vaccine movement — promoting its new film, Medical Racism: The New Apartheid.
The free, online film is the latest effort by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the founder of Children’s Health Defense. (He’s the son of the former U.S. Attorney General Robert “Bobby” Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy.) With this film, Kennedy and his allies in the anti-vaccine movement resurface and promote disproven claims about the dangers of vaccines, but it’s aimed squarely at a specific demographic: Black Americans.
The film draws a line from the real and disturbing history of racism and atrocities in the medical field — such as the Tuskegee syphilis study — to interviews with anti-vaccine activists who warn communities of color to be suspicious of modern-day vaccines.
L’apartheid c’est aussi ça : cibler expressément les communautés afro-américaines avec de la désinformation anti-vaccinale.
