JFK also famously pushed an ambitious CIVIL Rights agenda, with anti-racism proposals and early attempts at affirmative action. But his nephew has twisted this portion of his familys political capital into a bizarre inversion of social justice, paid out in a risk of heightened vaccine hesitancy in Black communities. Hes formed opportunistic alliances with fringe Black leaders like TONY Muhammad to exploit the historical trauma of medical racism in the U.S., and provide the (largely white) antivax movement with sprinkles of diversity. Muhammad is a minister in the Nation of Islam, designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a Black nationalist hate group that promotes antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. Since 2015, he has been repeating the false claim that the C.D.C genetically modified MMR vaccines to harm Back and Latino boys.
