The pro-Trump New York Post attacks RFK Jr. with the terrible, ugly truth
The New York Post editorial board has issued another harsh rebuke to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Read the full editorial in The New York Post.
The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid, which had previously criticized vaccine skeptic Kennedy as a “paranoid nutcase” whose “tinfoil hat blocks out all sense,” lashed out at the Trump cabinet member for his war against what it called “one of the greatest public health victories of the last century: the widespread use of disease-eradicating vaccines.”
The usually pro-Donald Trump newspaper criticized Kennedy’s “dangerous and simply foolish war on vaccines” in the article, titled “RFK Jr.’s lunatic war on vaccines puts children at risk.”

The Post also accused Kennedy, the recent subject of salacious accusations from former digital lover Olivia Nuzzi, of “terrorizing young parents by suggesting, based on debunked nonsense, that vaccinating their children could ruin their health forever when the opposite is true,” calling him not only “overwhelmingly irresponsible” but also “downright cruel.”
The board ominously concluded: “The ugly truth: the only end result will be more sick and dead children.”
Last month, the Wall Street Journal, also owned by Murdoch, denounced what it described as Kennedy’s “ideological crusade” against vaccines.
“Who decided to leave Robert F. Kennedy Jr. home alone at the Department of Health and Human Services?” asked the paper’s conservative editorial board, noting: “Without adults supervising the Secretary, he is damaging public trust in vaccines, and now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been enlisted in his anti-vaccine campaign.”
