  • Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says sweeping layoffs and restructuring in the department will bring order to a bureaucracy he claims is in "pandemonium." But experts say the overhaul also likely gives him far greater control over dozens of federal health agencies.

The article from MSN discusses Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vision for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) should he win the presidency. Kennedy, known for his skepticism towards vaccines and pharmaceutical companies, proposes a significant overhaul of HHS, aiming to centralize more power within this department.

Kennedy's approach would likely involve reducing the influence of pharmaceutical companies on health policy, promoting alternative health research, and possibly reevaluating the current vaccine schedule and mandates. This vision reflects his broader campaign themes of challenging established health narratives and advocating for what he perceives as a more holistic and less corporate-influenced approach to public health.
