In an exclusive interview with wrestling champion Kyle Dake on “RFK Jr. The Defender Podcast,” Dake told Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. why he considers COVID vaccine mandates a violation of his personal health, and why he started Athletes for Medical Freedom.

In an exclusive interview with wrestling champion Kyle Dake on “RFK Jr. The Defender Podcast,” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Dake discussed the increasing pressures on athletes to conform to medical mandates — and the struggle to fight against them.

Kennedy introduced Dake by summarizing his wrestling legacy:

“He was a bronze medalist at the Olympics in Tokyo and a three-time world champion for the USA. He won for Cornell University, his alma mater. He won four NCAA championships in four different weight classes. And I think you’re the first person in history to do that. Arguably, a lot of my friends when they heard you were coming on, said he is the best wrestler in history — and nobody else has come close.”

Shortly after the Tokyo Olympics, Dake and other competitors preparing for the World Championships were told that they would have to be vaccinated to participate.
