Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Thursday he’s overhauling a group of external experts who decide what medical services are preventive and must be covered fully by insurers under the Affordable Care Act.

How Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Vaccine Agenda Risks a Resurgence of Deadly Childhood Plagues The health secretary is spreading doubts about vaccine safety and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market. History has shown how plagues from the past can roar back...

The success of the U.S. vaccination system depends on two fundamental pillars: parents trusting in vaccines and children having access to them.

Under RFK Jr., both are in peril.

CDC delays publishing report showing covid vaccine benefits The acting CDC director cited concerns with the methodology, but the design has long been used to test vaccine effectiveness.

Jay Bhattacharya likes to claim that he was so disturbed that his idiotic ideas were “censored” that HE and only HE will promote open discussion of scientific ideas.

In science, we do that through peer-reviewed studies. But he is now blocking the publication of studies that show he’s wrong.
