Student Narrative
This artist book Resisting Facts Kills JR satirizes RFK Jr's term as Secretary of Health thus far, especially as it pertains to his anti-vaccine rhetoric. The dos-a-dos format then follows the parallel stories of two families on the opposite side detailing the tragedies that may follow if children continue to forgo vaccination.
