Opinion | Kennedy's Anti-Vaccine Views Don't Represent America
Briefly

Despite increasing vaccine skepticism, especially in light of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s appointment as health and human services secretary, vaccines continue to enjoy strong overall support among Americans. Recent statistics show that while some states report declines in vaccine coverage, high percentages of children are still vaccinated, suggesting a robust public confidence in vaccines. This widespread approval signifies that elected officials should tread carefully regarding vaccine policies, as attempts to retract or interfere with vaccine programs could face significant backlash from the populace, who largely see vaccines as beneficial.
Given this broad support for vaccines, politicians should think twice about targeting something so widely valued as it may not align with public sentiment.
Despite fears about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine skepticism, the overall popularity of vaccines shows significant public confidence, as indicated by high vaccination rates.
