Dr. Richard Pan expressed concerns over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s potential appointment as health secretary, stating it could lead to increased vaccine skepticism and public health risks.
Health leaders fear that Kennedy’s leadership could embolden the anti-vaccine movement, potentially putting more Americans at risk against preventable diseases through misinformation.
Kennedy’s past claims linking vaccines to autism have been repeatedly debunked, yet his influence could result in aggressive opposition to established scientific consensus on vaccinations.
Pan reflects on his previous conflicts with Kennedy and predicts increased harassment toward scientists supporting vaccination and public health measures, should Kennedy gain a position of power.
