Rep. Jake Auchincloss, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Massachusetts’ 4th district, recently shared several tweets addressing issues related to public health and personal conduct involving prominent figures. These posts reflect on historical events and controversial statements made by these individuals.
On January 29, 2025, Rep. Auchincloss posted about Aaron Siri, stating: “His lawyer, Aaron Siri, is helping him choose federal health officials. In 2022, Siri petitioned the FDA to revoke approval of the polio vaccine.”
In another tweet on the same day, he highlighted actions taken by RFK regarding measles vaccination efforts in Samoa: “RFK believes the ‘cure for measles is chicken soup and vitamin A.’ In 2019, he ran what he called a ‘natural experiment’ in Samoa, derailing its measles vaccination campaign. 5,600 people contracted measles. 83 people died, the majority of them children.”
Additionally, Rep. Auchincloss referenced an admission by RFK Jr., stating: “RFK Jr. openly admitted to sexually assaulting his 23 year-old family babysitter. His defense? ‘I am not a church boy.'”
