‘Stop, We Have the Clip’: Watch RFK Jr.’s Soul Leave His Body When Kasie Hunt Brings Receipt of Him Saying Thing He Claims He Didn’t Say
CNN’s Kasie Hunt twisted the knife in an X post Friday after she zinged Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in an interview for denying saying what he did, in fact, say on tape about vaccines.
Hunt shared the video of her cold stop on X Friday afternoon with a devastating summary.
KASIE: You said no vaccines are safe and effective.
KENNEDY: “I’ve never said that.”

“He did. We played the clip for him.”
The moment was equally a mic drop when it happened live.
“You have gained notoriety for your skepticism about vaccines. Over the summer in an interview you said, quote, ‘There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.’ Do you still believe that?” Hunt asked him on CNN International’s State of the Race Friday morning.
“I never said that,” Kennedy began, and Hunt didn’t skip a beat. She immediately instructed the control room,”So, stop me. We have the clip. Please play the clip,” while gesturing at Kennedy.
“Play the whole clip!” Kennedy interjected as the tape rolled on the Lex Fridman podcast.
FRIDMAN: 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.
“So, you did say it. Do you still believe it?” Hunt asked again.
“Here’s what I would say,” Kennedy responded. “First of all, I’m not anti-vaccine — ”
“How is that statement not anti-vaccine?” Hunt interrupted.
“Well, I can say right now there’s no medicine for cancer that’s safe and effective. It doesn’t mean I’m against all medicines.” He continued:
I’ve been fighting 40 years to get mercury out of fish. Nobody calls me anti-fish. What I want are vaccines that are proven safe. And, what I meant, which was a bad use of words, is, none of the vaccines that’s currently on the mandated schedule for children, the 72 vaccines, have ever been studied in a pre-licensing safety study. What that means is, we do not know what the risk profile is for those products, and you cannot prove or say with any scientific certainty that those products are causing —
“So, you’re saying that you still believe that no vaccines are safe and effective?”
“No! What I’m saying is, none of the 72 vaccines has ever been tested in a safety study.”
Kennedy is running as an independent candidate for the 2024 presidential election, and could prove to be a spoiler for either Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
