Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s HHS secretary and a longtime anti-vaccine figure, stunned supporters by endorsing vaccines amid a Texas measles outbreak.

In a Fox News op-ed, he acknowledged their effectiveness in preventing disease and protecting communities. His shift outraged anti-vaxxers, with some denouncing him as a traitor.

Health experts, however, criticized his misleading claims about vitamin A as a measles treatment and his framing of vaccination as a personal choice.

His inaccurate reporting on outbreak deaths further raised concerns about his credibility.

His stance on over processed food and some nutrition education is pretty good. Hopefully this trend continues.
