He has a whole history of Kennedy history and Kennedy legacy.

And his first cousin, Caroline Kennedy, you know, back in January, she came out and pled for the committee not to confirm RFK Jr.

And in the U.S., the anti-vax ideological thinking is

has the RFK Jr.

name attached to it, which can be problematic.

So I think in the U.S., people can be a little more discerning about it because they're looking at the people who had it.

However, there are a growing number of influencers and content creators and parents and groups who want this to be a bigger issue.

Well, it's because, you know, in the U.S., these issues are very significant issues because they're personal, but also they're in the front page of the headlines.

Everything is polarizing in the U.S.

right now.

And groups love to co-opt issues.

And if they can bring names and attach names to it, it makes it stronger.

Jenny McCarthy certainly has been anti-vaccine for years.

She's always talked about her son.

But the reality for Jenny McCarthy, she's, you know, some would argue that she's B-list, C-list.

You know, if you get higher up that popularity chain in Hollywood and you get closer to an A-list, which, you know, most people would put Liam Neeson in that category, then it becomes more problematic for someone of his reputation.

But it's all about, you know, co-opting those names.

There aren't a lot of big anti-vax names out there, but there is a movement.

And there's a movement of people in the public and the public sentiment can be very, very strong, you know, in the U.S., particularly with social media.
