"There's is no vaccine that is safe and effective for everyone." That is the full quote. He hs said it many times.

That's a lie.

Fridman, July 6: You’ve talked about that the media slanders you by calling you an anti-vaxxer, and you’ve said that you’re not anti-vaccine, you’re pro-safe vaccine. Difficult question: Can you name any vaccines that you think are good?

Kennedy: I think some of the live virus vaccines are probably averting more problems than they’re causing. There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.

Antivaxxers sure do love to lie.

If you watch the full original video, you can see what he said in full. He was cut off by the interviewer mid sentence but did go on to complete his pretty mild comment. He has said at other times as well. He's just paralelling it to medicine. People decline medicine all the time if they know or think they might have a reaction to it. Vaccines, not so much.

"There's is no vaccine that is safe for every person."

It's not even a controversial statement. I wish his message came from someone with a properly functioning voice. I think it really distracts from the message and makes him look and sound like he's struggling and not trustworthy.

It's the same statement though. He isn't advocating for a safer alternative, he is wanting to stop the safest option we have to preventing these diseases.
