Lives will be lost in this country if RFK Jr. carries out his intentions.

Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb expressed concern over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s potential impact as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump. Gottlieb warned that Kennedy’s anti-vaccination agenda could lead to a decrease in vaccination rates, resulting in large measles outbreaks and potentially costing lives in the country. Kennedy has a history of spreading misinformation about vaccines, including falsely linking the MMR vaccine to autism. Despite the CDC confirming that vaccines are not associated with autism, Kennedy has continued to push anti-vaccine sentiment, even calling the Covid vaccine the “deadliest vaccine ever made.” Gottlieb also noted that Kennedy’s controversial stance on abortion and other policies may face opposition from Republican senators during his confirmation process. While Kennedy has stated that he supports informed choice when it comes to vaccines, his track record and beliefs have raised doubts about his commitment to public health policies. Gottlieb emphasized the need for understanding the potential consequences of Kennedy’s policies and expressed confidence that President Trump does not share Kennedy’s anti-vaccine beliefs. Kennedy’s intentions and their impact on public health policy remain a source of concern for health experts and government officials.
