RFK Jr. Falsely Attacked for Stating Scientific Fact on Vaccine Responses by Race

Senator Alsobrooks calls RFK Jr.'s views "dangerous"—while ignoring well-documented scientific evidence.

In today’s confirmation hearing, Senator Alsobrooks repeatedly called RFK Jr.’s views “dangerous” because he stated that immune responses to vaccines differ by race:

RFK Jr.'s views are not “dangerous”, but are actually backed by abundant scientific evidence. Multiple studies demonstrate that antibody responses to vaccines DO differ between races:

Rubella vaccine

Black individuals had significantly higher neutralizing antibody levels than Whites across two large, independent cohorts (Haralambieva et al):

---

COVID-19 "vaccine"

Black individuals showed higher antibody positivity than Whites after a single dose (Ward et al):

---

Influenza vaccine

Black Americans had higher IgG & neutralizing antibody responses to H1N1 vs. Whites, linked to B-cell & gene expression differences (Kurupati et al):

---

Hepatitis B vaccine

Ethnic differences in immune response observed, with Taiwanese aboriginal children showing lower antibody titers than Han Chinese (Hsu et al):

---

Ignoring science is dangerous, discussing it is not. All of the so-called 'scientific' attacks by Senators against RFK Jr. have proven to be completely false:

RFK Jr. must be confirmed as HHS Secretary—he is perfectly qualified, deeply knowledgeable, and committed to putting public health above politics.
