7am · RFK Jr’s anti-vaccine obsession · 25 Jul 2026 podcast

After the break, what RFK Jr.

says about his role in the outbreak and how he stands to profit from making America healthy again.

Hey, you don't have to share everything.

Why spread bank accounts when online payment is enough for mobile pay?

Brian, we're talking about RFK's anti-vaccine campaigning in Samoa in 2019, which contributed to low rates of vaccination in the country and 83 people, most of them babies, died.

RFK was meeting with the Prime Minister of Samoa to tell him that vaccines had caused the outbreak.

So tell me where this outbreak actually originated.

What we know is that the virus came from New Zealand.

Auckland that year was going through the biggest outbreak of measles that it had in decades.

And it was particularly concentrated on the south side of Auckland, which has a substantial Maori and Pacific Islander community.

where vaccination rates had fallen to very low levels and goes back to the appearance in Australia and New Zealand in 2017 of anti-vaccine campaigners trying to promote a film by a disgraced British doctor named Andrew Wakefield.

Both the link and the film have been widely discredited, of course, but the film was playing in... They went to Australia and they went to New Zealand with this film advertising these false allegations.

Here's what those attending a screening of vaxxed in the Northland town of Maungatiroto last night had to say to our reporter, Zach Fleming.

I've never seen any good science indicating that vaccines are actually beneficial.

So there is a connection for the virus to come through from Auckland to the islands where it ultimately then erupted in a vulnerable community.

And so, Brian, in the lead up to being confirmed, RFK, he was actually grilled at a Senate hearing in the US and he was asked about his role in the measles outbreak.

Can you tell me about that and what he said?

Yes or no?

You cannot find a single Samoan who will say, I didn't get a vaccine because of Bobby Kennedy.

I went in June of 2019.
