Most people know about Peter Hotez infamously declining to debate Kennedy for millions dollars in 2023, but I would like to share another lesser-known but outrageous instance of a time when experts refused to debate Kennedy. In Kennedy's own words:
"The Connecticut state legislature had a bill to end the religious exemptions for childhood vaccines in Connecticut [HB 6423 which ultimately passed in 2021], and the head of the Democratic party legislature asked me to come out and debate a Yale professor in front of the legislature, and I said great.
"And he called back and said there's going to be two of them and it's against you and they're going to get two-thirds of the time and you get a third and I said fine.
"And then he called back and said there's going to be four of them, and you each get six minutes, and I said that's all I need. It's not fair but it's all I need.
And so I fly out on a red-eye, I get to the state house, and it's me and four empty chairs. Somebody told them, or they all decided not to show up, and that's happened to me again, and again, and again, and again. I agree to debates and it seems like somebody gets a message, but you know, who knows? It's obscure. But nobody in 18 years has been willing to debate me."
RFK Jr is facing a formable challenge to correct the great harm that a dysfunctional healthcare system that will not admit that bottom line profits to the tune of trillions of dollars is driving our dysfunctional medical system.
Thanking for bringing this example to light. The situation in CT continues to be horrendous and deserving of attention. The ONLY option available is homeschool; which, is under constant attack. Most recently, by a group calling themselves CRHE (Coalition for Responsible Home Education) that is
pushing for national regulations on homeschooling. They have 'model' legislation (including mandatory vaccines for homeschoolers ) that they are pushing EVERY state to codify into law. Don’t be fooled by the name-they are not advocates for homeschoolers or for homeschool ‘rights’. Their model legislation reads like the UN goals; they sound great until you realize it’s been expertly written to deceive. All the goals actually under mine individual, parental and constitutional rights.
Thank you again for the pertinent comment regarding RFK Jr’s experience attempting to have a debate in CT, the corruption and ultimately, the horrendous situation that continues to plague CT families and especially; children.
Such a classic Machiavellian name as usual with these sycophants. The same principles reside within the burgeoning censorship industry where such fine folks like The Center for Countering Digital Hate(CCDH) reside.
Thank you for exposing this corrupt homeschool organization. I had no idea there were NGOs trying to mandate vaccines for homeschoolers. That's wrong on so many levels.
I'm originally from New York, and similarly to what happened in Connecticut, we lost our religious exemptions in 2019. This was the result of several problematic politicians in our deep blue state such as Cuomo, Dinowitz, and Hochul, seizing upon a small measles outbreak in the city. These politicians went on and attempted to mandate HPV and COVID shots for school, knowing there was no way out of it. Several friends I knew who had vaccine-injured children were devastated and had no other option but to flee the state since they made it impossible to obtain medical exemptions.
Thankfully, the tide shows signs of turning. A recent bill that would've removed religious exemptions in deep blue Hawaii was killed because it was so unpopular. This wouldn't have happened five years ago. Also, West Virginia very recently added religious exemptions for the first time in decades.
My heart goes out to you and other Connecticut residents who have been affected by medical tyranny laws, and once again, thank you for taking action and speaking out.
Yeah... he was very pro vaccine. He wanted nothing to do with this. He told the story... if I remember right some mother harassed him endlessly until he finally gave in and said I'll look into it. If I don't like where it's going you have to leave me alone. She agreed... he kept his word. He definitely needs another come to Jesus moment on Israel.

Here, HSLDA (an actual homeschool advocacy group) has written on the matter. A link is within to the CRHE model legislation. HSLDA write on the the group https://hslda.org/post/what-homeschoolers-need-to-know-about-the-make-homeschool-safe-act
In CT specifically, an advocate is Attorney Deborah Stevenson’s Org called NHELD. Here, she’s written about the most recent local PR campaign; a tragic news story being twisted into being the result of homeschooling. Her facts are solid, yet CT media and legislation are working in tandem to use their own version to legitimize the ‘need’ for regulations such as those being pushed by CRHE https://www.nheld.us/a-call-to-investigate-connecticut-agencies-for-failure-to-prevent-the-twenty-year-captivity-and-starvation-of-a-child-beginning-at-age-three

It's not really fair. Kennedy makes sure he has "better facts" before he will debate,
except about Israeli genocide in Palestine, ... what's up with that?
Yeah... he was very pro vaccine. He wanted nothing to do with this. He told the story... if I remember right some mother harassed him endlessly until he finally gave in and said I'll look into it.
