  • Decoding the Deception: RFK Jr.'s RACIST Vaccine Lies and the Fight Against Medical Misinformation

    Decoding the Deception: RFK Jr.'s RACIST Vaccine Lies and the Fight Against Medical Misinformation
    Feb 14 2025

    In this episode, Amie & Sara delve into the alarming rise of medical misinformation, focusing on the dangerous and racist rhetoric perpetuated by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. throughout his "health stances" and during his confirmation hearing. We dissect his false claims about offering differing vaccine schedules for Black people, exposing the medical racist undertones, the fact that he MISUNDERSTOOD the research and the potential harm such misinformation can cause.

    This rhetoric echoes a long and disturbing history of racism in medicine, from the Tuskegee Syphilis Study to ongoing disparities in healthcare access and treatment, demonstrating how these historical injustices continue to impact health outcomes for racialized communities today. We examine the scientific literature, highlighting how Kennedy and others misinterpret and twist data to fit their narratives. We discuss the real-world consequences of these lies and explore strategies to combat the spread of medical misinformation.

    Join us, The Gritty Nurses, as we unpack the complexities of medical misinformation, expose its racist roots, and discuss the urgent need for scientific accuracy, health literacy and health equity in public health discourse.
