Surprising: Billionaire Donor Now Backs RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Doubts

An Influential Billionaire Democrat Donor Backs RFK Jr.’s Call for Vaccine Debate

In a surprising turn of events, billionaire hedge fund investor Bill Ackman, an influential Democratic donor, is throwing his support behind presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s push for more debate on the COVID-19 vaccines.

Ackman took to Twitter in June to express his skepticism towards the experts, the government, and conventional wisdom. He emphasized the importance of challenging the status quo and being open to alternative viewpoints and innovations.

Ackman believes that by silencing skeptics and not allowing for open discussion, we may have missed opportunities to save lives, minimize long-term negative effects on the economy, education, and mental health.

However, Ackman’s current stance is a departure from his previous comments in 2021, where he criticized the delay of COVID-19 shots for seniors, calling it “genocide.”

Ackman revealed that Kennedy’s discussions on podcasts and town halls resonated with him, prompting him to delve deeper into the vaccine issue. He believes that important questions about vaccine safety, especially regarding recently approved vaccines, remain unanswered.

When asked if Kennedy should be in the White House, Ackman responded that he is unsure but believes Kennedy is raising important questions that deserve discussion and debate. As for the 2024 presidential election, Ackman remains undecided and hopes for a more open field of candidates.
