Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to overhaul parts of the FDA, specifically targeting the agency’s nutrition department, which he claims “are not doing their jobs” and failing to protect public health.
Kennedy, a known opponent of vaccinations and the pharmaceutical industry, said he could “clear out” corruption in health agencies. President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he would give Kennedy significant influence over health policy, though Trump’s campaign denied he would lead HHS.
Experts and family members warn that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance could have serious public health repercussions.
I think the first term was actually traumatic and we’ve spent four years trying to put it behind us, now he’s back and prepared, with the whole government at his command for at least 2 years. The long term damage is going to be atrocious in every sense of the word.
I’m fucking heartbroken
