Depo-Provera Scandals and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Vaccine Advocacy

The history of Depo-Provera, which was tested unethically on poor Black and white women before FDA approval, is used to justify modern vaccine skepticism. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is highlighted for his work on removing mercury (thimerosal) from vaccines. His transition from environmental advocacy to vaccine safety has made him a prominent figure in the "safe vaccine" movement.
