RFK Jr.'s Samoa letter clashes with his vaccine testimony to Congress

Letters obtained by the Guardian and AP show RFK Jr. wrote Samoa's prime minister before his 2019 trip, using "vaccine" eight times to propose an MMR vaccine study. He told two congressional hearings the visit had "nothing to do with vaccines." HHS called the lying claims "false and defamatory" but did not address the contradiction. This is the fourth 2026 disclosure undermining his account.
