In his short tenure as federal health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has enacted significant changes, including the dismissal of 10,000 public health workers and adopting a controversial stance on vaccines, amidst rising measles cases. While he claims a dramatic increase in U.S. autism rates, many experts contest his assertions, arguing that changes in diagnostic criteria and awareness account for the apparent rise. His 'Make America Healthy Again' initiatives have found support among his base, but have raised red flags among public health communities. This highlights a growing divide in health policy discourse.
Kennedy’s followers, a contingent of health-conscious moms, Republicans loyal to President Trump and others, have celebrated his 'Make America Healthy Again' initiatives.
Experts express dismay over Kennedy's statements, questioning his portrayal of autism and emphasizing the context and facts surrounding its diagnosis and understanding.
