Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to headline a sold-out conference organized by Children's Health Defense (CHD) alongside Andrew Wakefield. The event, billed as a pursuit of a more perfect future, will discuss risks and opportunities for the health freedom movement on September 17, with an opening reception the night before.

Other speakers include Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Mark Gorton of the MAHA Institute, Jan Jekielek of Epoch Times, and CHD CEO Mary Holland.

In-person tickets at $250 are sold out, with limited seating passes at $125 and livestream access at $100 available. Kennedy formally separated from CHD when he became health secretary around early 2025 and has publicly tried to distance himself from anti-vaccine views, claiming to be pro-vaccine during his confirmation hearing. His decision to headline the event appears to signal a shift toward openly embracing his ideology, coming shortly after reports that President Trump urged Kennedy to pursue the falsehood that vaccines cause autism.
