Robert F Kennedy Jr confirmed as US health secretary
ai generated text
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed by the US Senate as the nation's next health secretary, leading the Department of Health and Human Services with a $1.7 trillion budget and over 80,000 employees. The vote was 52-48, with all Republican votes in favor of Kennedy, except for Mitch McConnell who voted no, citing concerns about Kennedy's vaccine skepticism. Some Republicans have hailed Kennedy's "fresh perspective" but experts consider him "completely unqualified" for the job, with others warning that his views on vaccines are "dangerous" and "wrong".
They are choosing to pretend like it is in any way believable that RFK Jr. won't use his new power to do exactly the thing he has been trying to do for decades -- undermine vaccines.
We've got to get into the business of making America healthy again.
Contrary to the attacks that have constantly been made on him, he has made it very clear that he will support safe vaccinations and just wants to see that the research on them is done and done well.
I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures, and neither will millions of Americans who credit their survival and quality of life to scientific miracles.
I'm a survivor of childhood polio. In my lifetime, I've watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world.
He's a frightening man, a dangerous man, and I think he'll do harm.
It is a disaster waiting to happen, and it will happen.
