Abcarian: The latest evidence that putting RFK Jr. in charge of public health would be a disaster

^{Published on 2024-12-18 06:40:45 - MSN}

An advisor to Donald Trump's pick for Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., petitioned the government to withdraw approval of the polio vaccine.

The article by Robin Abcarian discusses the recent testimony of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. Kennedy, who has been vocal about his skepticism regarding vaccines and public health measures, used the platform to reiterate his controversial views, including the debunked claim that vaccines cause autism. His testimony was part of a broader discussion on alleged censorship by the government and social media platforms. Abcarian criticizes Kennedy's assertions, pointing out that his views are not only scientifically discredited but also dangerous, especially given his potential influence on public health policy. She highlights the irony of Kennedy, a figure known for spreading misinformation, being invited to speak on government overreach in information control. The article underscores the potential public health disaster if Kennedy were to gain any significant role in public health, emphasizing the need for evidence-based policy over conspiracy theories.
