The date is July 2023, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was actively campaigning. The right panel includes green stars and screws near the figure.

Each holds a yellow sign promoting informed consent, vaccine choice or risk awareness. Jessica Biel, Bill Maher, Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey and RFK Jr. are identified by name. A child covered in red spots points at the group and declares that anti-vaxxers go by other names.
