On February 6 2025 Dave Whamond depicts RFK Jr. as the subject of a failed Cupid attempt to win over a Democratic donkey that refuses vaccination. The image coincides with ongoing Senate confirmation hearings for the HHS nominee whose past statements on vaccines have drawn sharp criticism from Democrats. The visual uses the Valentine motif to underscore resistance to the appointment.
RFK Jr. appears in two panels holding a sign stating vaccines cause autism. A woman requests a second opinion in the left panel. The right panel shows a worm emerging from his head as the same claim repeats.
John Darkow's November 2024 cartoon shows RFK Jr in tribal headdress beside a bear cub on the ground. A suited figure stands next to a large whale head bearing a medical cross. The image references RFK Jr's nomination to lead Health and Human Services and his history of vaccine skepticism.
