However, after hearing him speak a few times I am certain that, contrary to his late Uncle Edward, he is the latter. Listening to him speak on any subject makes one cringe. It is hard to believe that the media would give someone that dumb a platform to spout dangerous nonsense. I am glad to see that Salon finally corrected its record. However, the damage has been done. How many children have been harmed by not taking vaccines because their parents believed this charlatan? Salon knew that JFK, Jr. is a fool, yet they allowed him to spread this dangerous nonsense simply because he was a Kennedy. Shame on them.
