Since assuming his role in February, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has enacted significant changes in public health, alarming experts with cuts to workforce and research funding. His controversial adjustments include appointing skeptics to a key vaccine advisory committee and asserting that America is the 'sickest nation in the world.' While some of his claims about chronic diseases resonate with public health data, critics argue he overlooks key mortality factors like accidents and gun violence. Additionally, Kennedy's promotion of medical misinformation, especially regarding vaccines, raises concerns about the impact of his leadership.
His mission, he says, is to 'Make America Healthy Again'. 'We are the sickest nation in the world,' he said in March, 'and we have the highest rate of chronic disease.'
Kennedy has also promoted medical misinformation and conspiracy theories - particularly with regards to the safety of vaccines.
