Kennedy promotes fries, questions vaccines as health secretary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has completed his first month as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. He has promoted healthier food options, like fries cooked in beef tallow, but has also raised doubts about vaccines, claiming they cause deaths annually. Kennedy's mixed messages on vaccines have led to the cancellation of key public health meetings, including those by the CDC and FDA. His administration has begun to cut funding for vaccine research, raising concerns among health experts about the impact on vaccination efforts. Despite his claims of supporting vaccines, Kennedy's statements have confused parents and health professionals. He has suggested alternative treatments for measles, such as Vitamin A, while downplaying the seriousness of recent outbreaks.
