In a rare and revealing interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sat down with Tucker Carlson for 90 minutes to discuss vaccines, public health, and politics. The conversation quickly turned explosive as Kennedy shared shocking claims about corruption inside U.S. health agencies.
RFK Jr. Says CDC Covered Up Vaccine-Autism Study
During the interview, Kennedy spoke about an internal CDC study from 1999 that he says exposed a massive link between vaccines and autism. The research, led by scientist Thomas Verstraeten, allegedly showed a 1,135% increase in autism risk among children who received the hepatitis B vaccine.
But instead of releasing the information, Kennedy claims the CDC quietly manipulated the study.
“They removed older children from the data and only included infants who were too young to have been diagnosed with autism,” Kennedy explained.
Kennedy: Pediatricians Profit from Vaccines
Kennedy also highlighted what he described as a financial conflict of interest in pediatric care. He claims many doctors depend on vaccines for a large portion of their income.
“Fifty percent of revenue for most pediatricians comes from vaccines,” Kennedy said. “That’s why if parents want to slow down or skip shots, some doctors refuse to treat them—they don’t want to risk losing bonuses.”
RFK Jr. Disputes the Vaccine-Autism “Debunking” Claims
Kennedy pushed back on the narrative that the vaccine-autism link has been completely disproven. He pointed out that vaccines given to babies within their first six months have never been fully studied for autism risk.
He also claimed the CDC ignored concerning results from their own reporting system, VAERS, which tracks vaccine injuries.
“They dismissed the link between the DTaP vaccine and autism because it came from VAERS—the same system they rely on for safety data,” Kennedy said.
CDC Allegedly Shut Down More Reliable Vaccine Injury Tracking
Kennedy revealed the CDC once funded a Harvard study to develop a more accurate vaccine injury tracking system. According to Kennedy, the system found that 1 in every 37 vaccines caused an adverse reaction and exposed that VAERS was missing over 99% of injuries.
Instead of expanding the program, Kennedy claims the CDC ended it in 2010 and stuck with the outdated VAERS system.
RFK Jr. Breaks Down Pfizer COVID Vaccine Trial Numbers
The conversation shifted to COVID-19 vaccines, where Kennedy analyzed Pfizer’s trial data:
- Over 43,000 people participated, half receiving the vaccine, half a placebo.
- One vaccinated person died of COVID; two unvaccinated individuals died.
- Using these numbers, Pfizer claimed the vaccine was 100% effective.
- But, looking at all causes of death, 21 vaccinated participants died compared to 17 in the placebo group—a 23.5% higher overall death rate in the vaccinated group.
Paul Offit Accused of Profiting from Rotavirus Vaccine
Kennedy also called out Dr. Paul Offit, a well-known vaccine advocate, claiming Offit benefited financially from his role on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee.
Offit voted to add rotavirus vaccines to the childhood schedule while developing his own product, RotaTeq. After replacing the recalled RotaShield vaccine, RotaTeq became widely used. Kennedy said Offit and his partners later sold the rights to Merck for $186 million.
“He literally profited by influencing public health policy,” Kennedy stated.
Fauci’s Funding Allegedly Helped Conceal Lab-Engineered Viruses
The interview touched on Dr. Anthony Fauci, with Kennedy claiming Fauci supported research that allowed scientists to modify viruses without leaving detectable genetic signs.
Kennedy referenced the “seamless ligation” method, developed by researcher Ralph Baric, which allegedly enables virus manipulation while hiding lab origins.
“That’s not public health—that’s what you do if you’re creating biological weapons,” Carlson remarked.
RFK Jr. Praises Trump’s Empathy and Populism
The final moments of the interview focused on Donald Trump. Kennedy revealed Trump had an unconventional hiring process, preferring to review TV clips of candidates before offering them positions.
“Trump understands the importance of public messaging,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy admitted his views on Trump changed after meeting him.
“I thought he was a narcissist, incapable of empathy. But he’s one of the most empathetic and curious people I’ve ever met,” Kennedy shared.
He described Trump as someone genuinely concerned for working-class Americans and soldiers impacted by global conflicts.
“They portray him as a billionaire puppet master, but he’s the opposite—a real populist who cares about the little guy,” Kennedy concluded.
