RFK Jr. just doesn’t get it
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s tenure as HHS secretary has been every bit as troubling as many feared. He won’t outright support vaccines, despite a measles outbreak. He’s insulted autistic people by saying the disorder is preventable. And he’s losing scientists who might be able to actually help with his promises to fight chronic disease and get Americans to eat healthier. Dana Milbank, Leana Wen and Robert Gebelhoff discuss the potential consequences of Kennedy’s reign and whether he can keep together the varied assortment of fans who’ve rallied behind him.
Additional reading:
Leana S. Wen:
Why a worsening measles outbreak is a big deal
Who are RFK Jr.’s ‘MAHA moms’? They might surprise you.
Trey Johnson:
Don’t listen to RFK Jr. on autism. Meet my special-needs son.
