Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his skepticism toward vaccines and controversial statements regarding public health, has been appointed as the US health secretary. His confirmation by a narrow Senate vote has raised alarms due to his past claims and skepticism surrounding vaccine efficacy and safety. Despite stating he is "pro-safety," his history of disseminating conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine rhetoric has left many concerned about his ability to oversee health policy effectively. His position involves significant responsibilities, overseeing agencies related to vaccine policy and food safety, amid growing controversy over his views.
Mr Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans... He has made it his life's work to sow doubt and to discourage parents from getting their kids lifesaving vaccines.
I want to make sure the Committee is clear about a few things. News reports have claimed that I am anti-vaccine or anti-industry. Well, I am neither; I am pro-safety.
All of my kids are vaccinated, and I believe vaccines have a critical role in healthcare. I have disturbed the status quo by asking uncomfortable questions.
Kennedy is now responsible for overseeing agencies covering vaccine and health policy to food safety. He is a controversial pick for this role.
