His injury, as I understand it, was as a result of taking the Hepatitis vaccine. Weather and stress can affect the vocal cords, resulting in spasms. You can have tightening of the diaphragm and vocal cords resulting in a strained articulation of words. For some, botulism toxin injections into the vocal cord may relax the vocal cord enough to decrease the strained speech. For some speech therapy helps, or acupuncture. It depends on the individual, their situation and the extent of damage as to what, if anything, will be helpful.
I think his running will call attention to the problem, which is difficult for anyone who has a job/position requiring a lot of public speaking. My understanding is his diagnosis was a result of a vaccine injury from the Hepatitis vaccine. The difficulty with speaking is not a reflection of his intelligence. While public speaking is difficult, I am sure for him, as well as those who are listening, it will not impede his ability to function in a decisive manner. I do think it will be an impediment to voters voting for him, but may, with the proper running mate, be beneficial to the country: experience in politics, the Kennedy name, his environmental concerns, calling attention to vaccine injuries/handicaps, ability to be successful despite a handicap, uniting the country, etc. So I definitely would not count him out. As difficult as it is for others to listen to him speak, it is three times as difficult for him to speak and be understood. Spasmodic dysphonia is difficult to function with and requires determination and a strong will to put yourself out there and speak. It also requires a lot of physical effort which can be fatiguing. View this as a handicap which he has overcome through determination. In the scheme of things, there are other ailments far worse.
It can’t be proved. That is the problem with all of the vaccines including the Covid shot. (I personally experienced vocal cord damage following my 3rd Hepatitis shot in 1994. I was just recovering from my 3rd cold in 1 month when I was given the booster. I was young, naive and believed when I was told it was okay to take while recovering from another cold. I believe my immune system was low and the damage happened as a result. I, to this day, suffer vocal cord damage. As a registered nurse I had to force myself to go into patient rooms and do discharge teaching. Nurses talk a lot and I had severe throat tightening and diaphragm fatigue. I was resistant to the botulism toxin injections given to paralyze the one vocal cord from spasms. The treatment was supposed to last 10-12 months. The first one only helped 3 months and the 5th and last, 12 hours. What helped me the most was acupuncture in the neck with electrical stimuli. My voice was 95% normal immediately after. However, that treatment was in Canada, and I live in the U.S. so I could not commute twice a week as suggested and none of the acupuncturists I have gone to in the U.S. would do the same mode. It did improve my speech and stopped the diaphragm fatigue, so I count myself lucky.) Robert Kennedy Jr. has a very bad case of spasmodic dysphonia and I do not think he will be able to get voters to overlook this obstacle. But I think he would make a great VP running mate and together the two could unite the country. He would then prove himself and go on to run as President. I think voters will view his spasmodic dysphonia as a handicap. But he could be used as a melding of the two parties together: Democrat and Republican. Maybe it is wishful thinking on my part! Lol.
studies? i doubt it... they would never intentionally study it and therefore risk establishing solid connections... you can search VAERS though and related databases from other places besides the USA.

i had heard it was from flu shot.
I can't listen to him. IDK how he expects to give campaign speeches.

the debate would be tough also.
Exactly. Dude needs a translator. He has a lot to say and is very interesting but my brain wants to explode after 5 min.
he's still a far better public speaker than potatus
so now the HATE hits a Kennedy.
He still has better Idea's then any other leader for the Democrats.
Vax injury
He's had it a long time and I doubt he's vaxed.
It wasn't covid vax, I've heard either hepatitis or flu shot.
studies? i doubt it... they would never intentionally study it and therefore risk establishing solid connections... you can search VAERS though and related databases from other places besides the USA.
He'd make a good vp for trump
Democrats bitch and moan and say they can't stand Trump's voice. There's no way they're gonna rally behind RFK Jr.
