TMZ

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might need to brush up on his medical books ... because his recent comment that the MMR vaccine contains "a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles" is wildly inaccurate, according to family medicine physician Dr. Mike Varshavski, affectionaly known by his more than 4 million Instagram and 13 million YouTube followers as Dr. Mike.

00:00The reality of what's in the MMR vaccine is an attenuated virus that all three viruses,

00:08the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses are weakened so that your immune system doesn't

00:14have the negative effects of actually getting sick with those viruses, and instead allows your body

00:19to build up a response if you're to encounter these viruses in the public, at home, at school,

00:24et cetera. Initially, when one part of the MMR vaccine was created, it was created using human

00:31cells. In fact, that's how we need to create this virus in order for us to be able to weaken it and

00:36then introduce it into the vaccine so that our body has a response. Now, these human cells came

00:43from two abortions that were ethically performed over 50 years ago, and as a result, people have

00:49this concern that this is somehow part of the manufacturing process today, which is completely

00:55untrue. Once the virus is actually harvested from cells, it has no longer any connection to the cells

01:03that were part of them. It has no connection to fetal tissue. None of that is visible, and anything that

01:11is labeled fetal debris is just an overstatement. It's fear-mongering. Now, people got scared when RFK

01:18made this statement because they started wondering what's truly in the vaccine, and here's the reality.

01:23Only the attenuated viruses, some stabilizers. There is no fetal tissue. There are no fetal cells.

01:32All of that is absolutely made up.

01:36All of that is absolutely made up.
