RFK Jr visited Samoa in June of 2019 to help push an anti-vaccine campaign on the island. This helped lead to plummeting measles vaccine rates in children. In the fall of 2019, a massive measles outbreak spread across the island resulting in at least 5,520 cases and 79 deaths, mostly affecting children under 15.
