RFK Jr.'s neighbors send him 'pointed message' with Halloween skeleton protest: report
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s neighbors sent him a "pointed message" by organizing a protest on his front lawn, according to a new report.
The Daily Beast reported on Sunday that Kennedy's neighbors placed a skeleton sitting in a chair on his lawn, holding a sign that says "I wish I took my vaccine!" There is also a small bottle of Tylenol at the skeleton's feet, alluding to Kennedy's comments about links between Tylenol usage during pregnancy and autism. They also put a headstone in his yard that reads "I did my own research," according to the report.
“We have people taking photos of it constantly,” Christine Payne, one of Kennedy's neighbors, told the outlet.
Payne added that she and other neighbors included specific imagery to comment on some of Kennedy's recent claims. Kennedy has had to walk back his claims that Tylenol usage causes autism.
Experts have also noted that Kennedy's stance on vaccines undermines President Donald Trump's achievements with Operation Warp Speed, the federal program that developed the first COVID-19 vaccine.
"My son has autism, and a neighbor is very active in anti-vaccine efforts," Payne said.
"There is a small bottle of Tylenol also next to his feet because we’re very concerned about it affecting children," she added.
