A former, prominent Hudson Valley resident is now
booted off a popular social media site over controversial vaccine claims.
Instagram has taken down the account of anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy
Jr. who used to live in Westchester.
A spokesperson for Facebook, which owns Instagram, says "We removed this
account for repeatedly sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or
vaccines."
The son of the late U.S. senator and presidential candidate has repeatedly spoken out against
vaccines.
