Children's Health Defense
Children's Health Defense (CHD) is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit activist group mainly known for anti-vaccine advocacy and is one of the main sources of misinformation on vaccines. Founded as World Mercury Project in 2007 by Eric Gladen, it was chaired by lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from 2015 to 2023. The group has campaigned against various public health programs, such as vaccination and fluoridation of drinking water. The group has contributed to vaccine hesitancy and consequent excess deaths in the United States, encouraging citizens and legislators to support anti-vaccine regulations and legislation, although arguments against vaccination are contradicted by general scientific consensus. The group's US$15-million budget is funded through donations from individuals (both directly and anonymized through foundations) and affiliate marketing revenues.
