Trump HHS pick Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Compares CDC Vaccine Programs to Nazi Death Camps, Calls for Imprisonment of Researchers

Recent recordings from private autism meetings reveal that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump's nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services, has made controversial statements regarding vaccination programs. In the recordings, Kennedy compared the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) vaccine initiatives to 'Nazi death camps' and called for the imprisonment of researchers involved in these programs. Over the past six years, he has also likened the act of vaccinating children to abuses by the Catholic Church, describing the CDC’s vaccine division as a 'fascist enterprise' and accusing it of deliberately harming children. These remarks have raised significant concerns about his views on public health policy as he prepares to lead the agency responsible for overseeing such programs.

"Has compared" and "likened to" are extremely non-specific. I'd kind of like to know what exactly he said before I judge the remarks (or the man who made them).

In another year I might consent to the principle that 'no serious person should ever make Nazi comparisons in ordinary life,' but that ship has clearly sailed in contemporary America.

@Grim
I agree, and I'm guessing someone either made something up or else exaggerated and misquoted the man.
